Do I need a BX?

GaryG · May 17, 2003

I think the BX22 is for you also. Think about this, how many compact diesel tractors have you seen used for sale. The dealers in So. California put them in the rental fleet just to have used ones on the lot. Then they deduct a very few bucks for the wear & tear. You should be able to sell your tractor in a few years if you are willing to give it up, for nearly what you paid. If you buy a 2WD gas tractor you will be lucky to get scrap price after 5 years. One of the guys I work with has a 12 year old B7200 with loader and backhoe. He just was offered $6500 by his neighbor, which is $1000 more than he paid 12 years ago. These little diesel 4WD's hold their value. Besides they are relaxing back savers.

You should not tell people about the hand shake until they actually purchase one.Just for your info. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You mean there's a handshake too??!! That's it I'm convinced! Now I just need to find the best deal on this beast within a few hours of CT.

I'm gonna look for a BX2200D with a 60" deck and a snow blower. The info in the green or orange small tractor?? thread looks like a good place to start. Any favorite dealers other than the ones listed over there? Ones in NH would be very interesting ... if you know what I mean.

Get the BX, otherwise you'll forever be wondering how much better life would be if your had only bought that BX. Plus once you have one, you'll find all sorts of uses for it that you never condidered possible.
