If you could do it over...would you?

Henro,
I own a B-7500 and like everyone here I have my fair share of tractor envy, I often find myself at my local dealer drolling over the L-3130's /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif but for my 6 acres the B-7500 does everything I need which consist primarlily of mowing, brush cutting and snow removal. Would I have done anything different probably I would have gotten a FEL with the purchase /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif and maybe moved up to a B-2910, that said I could not be more pleased with my tractor it is a joy to work and has performed flawlessly.
Dreaming of BIGGER & BETTER machines is always fun. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It's funny...I've been talking privately with someone [hi John] who lives not too far away here in SW PA and who is about to buy either a B2910 or L3130 Kubota.

Although I am VERY happy with my B2910...I still keep thinking, now that I have the little bx2200 too...that I could be pretty happy with the bigger tractor anywhere up to the L3830...

BUT a bigger tractor would not have helped me here [see attachment]...The b2910 loader just fit in and I was able to shovel in the stuff that I wanted to take out of my old spring house foundation. Guess if I ever did go crazy...well, then I would also need a loader for the bx...and...and... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A bigger tractor would've worked just fine. Only problem would have been that you'd have also taken out your foundation /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif...

Yes, I would have bought the BX again because I needed something at the time to replace an older tractor. Funds limited me to either a used compact or the BX, and I could not find a decent used compact of any color. The BX has proved to be a great choice for my needs.
Fast foward 3.5 years to today, and the idea that keeps popping in my head (and a few others, it seems) is to have a ZTR for the bulk of my tractor use (mowing) and a larger compact for the snow removal, FEL work, etc. I don't know if I can make that happen, but I will be the guy looking at all kinds of ZTR's at the Empire Farm Days /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I really love the Kubota ZD21, but I don't know if it would be a wise choice to spend that much on a mower. I did mention the possibilty of a trade for a ZD21 and a used B series to my friendly Kubota salesman /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I bought an Agco ST 35 with a Woods loader that has the Bobcat style quick detach bucket system. The St 35 is a great tractor but the dealer is 60 miles away which is a hassle. The level indicator on the loader is a rod that sticks up over a foot higher than the loader and gets caught on garage doors and tree limbs. I've taken pictures of it and emailed them to Woods with suggested changes. The quick attach bucket is super! The tractor is really nice. it has 13.6-24 ag tires loaded with rim guard, wheel weights, engine heater, folding ROPS, grill guard, and I recently added a tooth bar. The only negatives are dealer location and the leveler on the Woods loader. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

HI Paul I guess what I really mean is I would like to own more than one tractor. The bx22 is a really nice tractor and doesn't take up much space. I would like to also own a bigger tractor and of course more land. David.

I would probably buy the same tractor, but I would definitely buy a different loader ( maybe a westendorf ) something with a quick attach system. After looking at all the tractors I looked at I liked the New Holland TC 45 best. I really liked the electronic range shifting, something I really wish I had when I have to move a lot of dirt. The 8k price difference is what kept me from getting one /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
