Goodbye BX23 Hello B3030

[AMR]

I am pleased to announce that I made the trade yesterday, dealer dropped off my new B3030 with LA403 with reinforced bucket and 3 hooks, BH75 with a single hook on the bucket, 60" mmm, 72" front blade with quick hitch, 4 work lights and loaded tires, (bagger is on back order) and took away my BX23.

I got the machine at 0.6 hours and put a whopping 0.3 hours on it yesterday! So far what else can I say but WOW. I guess I thought of it as the next size up from by BX23 but man it feels like a whole lot more.

My first obersvation is that the BH and loader are as easy or in the case of the BH easier on/off than the BX23 (my bh used to hit my fender). The jury is out on the mower, I tried just a few feet and it appeared to be OK. As for tire marks in the lawn, noticable, but not much worse than the 23, I am sure the spring will be a little tougher.

Much work to be done.

Wow, this is getting to be quite common now, BX22/BX23 to B3030. Hey Kubota, you watching this? If you wanna move those B3030's, make it worth while for the BX traders

Congrats AMR, I'd say besides the capacities tripleing, I bet the ride over rough ground really gets smoothed out with those bigger tires.
Let us know how she cuts.

Did the BX23 bring what you thought it would?

Boy, you have just done what I would love to do. I checked prices, in Louisiana, and the price, I was given, for my BX 23 with 433 hrs, for trade was$11,000. Which was what I talked the owner of the dearler ship into, after the first offer of $10,000. This was for trade on a B2630, with Loader and BH75, and 72inch MMM, which they priced out at $21,000.

AMR,

I'm curious about the bagger. Is it the "new" style B series bagger similar to the BX series bagger? It is my understanding that the new bagger and the backhoe share a mount point and make usage exclusive. That is, if you want to use the bagger you have to remove most, if not all, of the BH subframe components. Have you come up with a better solution?

Thanks,

Joe

Which dealer did you buy it from? Dealer in New Milford, Orange, Middletown, Torrington or Norwalk CT?
