BX22/23/24 Owners...Regrets?

[FamilyFarm]

I''ve owned mine 4 years, 300+ hours, no regrets. It was perfect for my previous property and is still perfect for many of the tasks at hand here.
My plan, if financially possible, is to keep it and add a larger tractor, preferrably a L5030, although I may go with a L3830 or L4330 and spend the difference on hydraulics & implements. I do have needs for which the BX is really too small, but for what it does, it does it all very well and a larger tractor would not be nearly so flexible. Most large tasks just take more time with the BX. I am getting into fencing, cattle, goats, and large areas to bush hog (rough ground) among other future plans, so I really need a larger tractor. For mowing, light loader work, backhoe, tilling, 4ft bush hog work, and getting into tight areas to do work, it is great. A large part of wanting to keep it is to not be without a backhoe. I don't use it often, but nothing like having one when you need it and I have some projects like water and electric lines that it will perfect for.

Just turned 150 hrs on a BX23 and the only regret I can think of is that I should have went with turfs. This spring has been extremely wet and the bars are "marking" some spots in the low land.

Spent this past Memorial Day weekend finish mowing a couple acres, planting trees & shrubs, moving compost & mulch around and other general yard maintenance and this machine was in it's element.
And it's the best mower I've had also, which is it's primary duty.

I've had my bx24 for about a month now. I have a 5+ acre lot with about 1 acre that I mow with the 24. I love it !

Just spread 8 yards of mulch on Monday with the FEL, have leveled a couple of spots that were always a problem with mowing, used the BH to dig out a couple of stumps that I had been mowing around for years, and have all kinds of projects planned including a small garden pond.

I use a 54" mower as there are some areas with trees that anything larger would cause problems getting through. The mower does a much better job than my old Wheelhorse tractor did. The lawn never looked better ! I had the mulching kit put on and have yet to see a clump of grass. No bagging, or raking for me !

I have only ripped down the clothseline once as I rolled through the middle forgetting about the ROPS and ran into the top of the garage once.

There are a few lower limbs on a couple of trees that I need to trim due to the ROPS, but overall the agility of the 24 outdoes the old Wheelhorse. I was figuring I would have a lot more weedwacking to do with the larger tractor, but actually have a little less.

Would I make the purchase again? In a flash !!!

I have had my BX22 over two years. And no regrets it is the best thing I ever bought. I use it almost everyday for something. I could somtimes use a bigger machine but then most of the time a bigger one would not fit where i need to go like horse stalls and back yard. I would buy another one.
465 hours and nothing has broke except the silly air filter strap which they all did/do.
