I was thinking........is bigger really better? (maybe Henro's spring fever is spreading)
I've had a BX1800 for almost a year now and I keep reading posts from new perspective owners who are looking to purchase a machine and most everyone always says get bigger you'll need it down the road.
Sometimes this truly makes sense, and sometimes well........it doesn't.
I'm thinking that you need to buy a machine to handle what it is you need to do (assuming you have visited TBN of course and have siphoned the knowledge and learned what it is you REALLY need to do).
Three points for me to buy what I need now and worry about bigger (maybe even smaller) later......
3) It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it!
2) If you haven't owned a tractor before, you really don't appreciate what can be done until you have tried.
1) Half the fun is buying them, so why deprive yourself for 20 years. Heck trade every 5 to 10 years and upgrade/downgrade as your needs change.
My apologies for no smiley faces, grins etc. Every time I click on them it kicks me back out of the message to the main discussion screen. I think when I re-installed my anti-virus/internet firewall the other day I disabled something that is now blocking me using these, but haven't figured out how to fix it.
