kubota BX-22.......couple of sears riding mowers that the neighbors were throwing away at one time or another.
everyone thought i was crazy for a bx22 on three acres.....
but they all want to borrow it when they need something done...
That usually keeps the fridge in the garage filled with cold ones.
A BX23 can also be made to cost a lot less. I knew that when the man looked me square in the eye and said my new septic system was going to cost me $12,000. My BX23 was $17k out the door (still can't imagine what the state did for their $1k share of that). But anyway, that brought the price of the shiney new BX23 to around $5k, and the zero interest Kubota loan helped keep it at that level. Talk about a no-brainer!? Even if it WAS 4 times more than I ever paid for a car (or would ever pay).
WOW....that's one heck of an expensive septic system. We just finished a new log home and the septic system came in at $3500.00 installed. The tank was 1500 gallon and the drain field was 30 x 60. I thought about doing it myself but I was concerned about getting the drain field correct and I was still going to have to have someone set the tank.
Around here $12,000. isn't a bad price for a septic system $3,500.00 would barely get a system repaired, I paid more than $1,200. just for the Galleries to replace the top field of my septic system. I think the BX23 is a great size for a 1 1/2 acre lot....but of course we always want something bigger though
