I "want" (not need) bar tires and a loader for my BX1800 (2002 model)
anyhow we all know the price for these items so I was worndering what it would change my payments to trade my tactor on a new on with bar with the loader? maybe just keep my mower deck assuming the 60" decks are still the same
Your local Kubota dealer is probably your best source of information for payment differences. Additionally, if you sell your BX1800 outright you will probably get more for it than trading it in on a new tractor. I sold my BX23 in November on ebay and got about 2k more than my dealer wanted to give me in trade.
If the BX1800 is something you are happy with, why not just add a loader and bar tires to it?
The tires are (or were) less than $300 for a set. The loader would cost about the same regardless whether it goes on a new tractor or your existing one...
On the other hand, since we are talking wants and not needs...why not shoot for a BX24...everyone wants a backhoe too, right? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
