Price Check Good price on BX-2230

Nik · Nov 8, 2005

I have owned a B2410 and now have a BX23. I can see the value of the extra 3 K for the B2410. The B2410 has larger wheels therefore less bumpy ride. I miss the regular size three point hitch and position control of the B2410. The rear wheels can be set to different widths. I kept it at the maximum for the best stability. Also the B2410 has better FEL capacity and no sticking Hst pedal problem that plagues many BX machines..

If you are just going to mow lawns with the tractor then go with the BX model. I used a rear mower with my B2410 and liked this setup. I would not hesitate to spend 3K extra for the B2410. Not sure if the B2410 has been discontinued and replaced with the B2630.

( I would not hesitate to spend 3K extra for the B2410. )

I would not either... but the extra 3 k is for a 7510. I would say the 2410 would be 5-6k more.

1*Who told her that and and why does that make it true?
2*If i was stepping up I would skip the B7510 ond get the B2410. )

1*You can look at it and it looks like a big lawn mower that Walmart sells.
2*If I could step up to the 2410 for 3k I would.

1*Wall mart and the other box stores don't sell anything that comes close to it.Looks can be very deceiving.
How about a B7610 then.

Why did you switch from the B2410 to a Bx23?

I was dealing for the B2410 until I saw the BX23.
Battled it Back and forth between them for 2 months befor deciding on the BX23.

Talked with one of my local dealers Sat.
1*The 2230 with bar tires, 60" mmm and FEL for 10700 .
2*Was going to buy (still might) but wife does not want to buy a "glorified lawn mower."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1*$10700 for this set up is a steal. I'd grab it so fast it would make your head spin.
I thought $11700 was a good deal for the 2230 with bar tires, 60" mmm and FEL back when I bought my BX23.
2*The BX is not a glorified lawn mower by a long shot. There is absolutely no comparison between a Sub compact and a Lawn or Garden tractor. We're talking two different worlds here.
 Some times misinformation is worse than no information.

Switched to the BX23 as I liked the backhoe setup and at the time felt the BX23 would be a better size for my small 2 acre lot.

i was going to wait until the spring and buy a jd 2305 w/62"mmm and box blade...was also thinking of a fel for it in the spring...but i am having trouble justifying the use of one...for this price of the bx2230 i could have a mower fel and box blade for the price of the jd...is the fel and mower easy to remove...i know the jd's works really slick...i'm not sure i will need the fel that much.

On a road trip (end of June I believe) I received a written price in Georgia...BX2230 $9900. with 60” MMM, and $2100. extra for Kubota loader. Total $12,000 without rebates. I received similar prices in NC, no counter offers or anything of the such, just what I was offered. I understand they are built in GA so may be less there, but also consider it was more of peak selling season and without a new model announced.
