going cost of a BH for a BX2350

[LBrown59]

* I paid $5,500 to have the Woods unit installed.
(differential between a BX2350 and BX24, for example, was about $3,500)

*If you could have gotten the kubot installed for $3500 at the time would you have still went with the woods for $5500?

If you could have gotten the kubot installed for $3500 at the time would you have still went with the woods for $5500?

At the time, my wife gave me a very strict $15k budget. I didn't have a lawn mower, so my decision was based on what I could get for that sum.

She was positive for the BH, but not as an initial purchase. My choices were:
(A) Force the issue and have "fire and brimstone" quality arguments with my incredibly beautiful and loving partner
(B) Go without a BH for a year or so and purchase it later at a $2,000 premium (which I explained to her up front)

I chose B.

AT THE TIME, I still don't think I would have gotten a Kubota BH. As I explained, I thought the Woods unit was superior to the BX23 BH (no offence intended to anyone) and equal to the BX24 BH. Unfortunately, the BX24 was very new and I had trepidation about the purchase. Plus my wife liked the "tractory" look of the BX1500/1830/2250/23 series. What are you going to do...it's her money too.

With the BX24 now fixed and proven, I would strongly consider that unit. Relieved of the financial constraints I originally had, I would choose the BX24 and save the $2,000.

But sometimes that just isn't a choice.

If this is the case I suspect that the tires will nor support the theh weight capacity called for using the back hoe.

I believe it's a clearance issue with the BX24 BH frame not a tire capacity issue.
