I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a new BX 2350. I have a 3130 with BH and Loader.. So I really don't need the BX for heavier applications. I guess what I want is a mowing tractor that I can also use with 3ph attachments like my chipper/shredder and a box blade. That being said.. I am getting a loader with it and I'm wondering about ballast. Most times I'll just be using it for moving soil, plants and "stuff" around the property. Do I really need to worry about ballast for lighter duty stuff? Would a box blade be enough? I'd rather not load the tires because like I said.. I'm using it mostly for mowing and I don't want to tear up the lawn with the additional weight.
also, what size of box blade can you get away with on a BX? I have a 65" for the 3130.. I have no doubts that's too big for it, but what about a 48?
thanks for any advice from you BX people! With any luck I'll be in the club by the end of May.
