Wash and wax yours and start parking it almost behind trees, bldg. or back of your land where she can just see you still have it. Start telling your wife how much you need a BH while walking away. Don't stay around to discuss it, just keep saying it as your leaving or she's distracted doing something. After a few weeks then go trade for that BX25 or newest edition BX25D and never say anything about it. After a few weeks start getting it closer to the house where she only sees the FEL then a few weeks later sit it where it's just straight up the front view then eventually (days, weeks, months, years later) turn to full side view. If she ever mentions it tell her you told her months ago how much you needed a BH and you'd bought one like so long ago that you can't even remember. Don't volunteer you also added a new tractor to the deal because the tractor looks the same.
There now, I've told you how to do it so start washing and waxing or you'll have to get your new one dirty when you get it so she won't recognize the difference after the swap.
There's a radio show out of Minneapolis called Garage Logic. Joe says you need to use the 48 hour rule. Get whatever new thing it is. Park it in a place that is not super obvious, but certainly not hidden. Then wait. If she sees it and mentions it within 48 hours, fess up and take it back. If discovery is after 48 hours, you can say, "That old thing? It's been there forever." and walk away. :laughing:
