Buying Advice Is it worth it!??

[dodge man]

Kday64, I was in your boat about 3 years ago. It seemed like I spent a lot of time mowing, using a shovel and a wheel barrow etc. I had a nice snow blower for my 600 foot long driveway, but it is just as strenous as shoveling, although a lot quicker. I bought a BX2350, 60" MMM, and rear blade. Within 3 months I ordered a FEL, should have bought it from day one. All I can say, it was a great investment.

I don't think you will be wasting your money buying a SCUT, and it will last many years. I went through a couple of cheaper riding mowers, and looking back at it, they were a waste of money. Unless you really like a clean lawn, get a mulching kit for you deck, and just chop up the leaves, its very fast. I leave mine on all year. You just have to get over the sticker shock, the deck for a BX costs more than a lot of riding mowers.

In your part of CT I'd skip the blower and use the blade for snow. Then the package won't break the bank and you get more peace of mind. You have to turn around to operate either. .02

Hi all,

It is official I have purchased my very own Kubota BX2360 and I think I got a fair price.

Unfortunatly I was only able to get the cost down to $17,200, including a FEL, rear snowblower, 54" fine cut MMM and an engine block heater. After calling three other Kubota dealerships in my area I am convinced that I saved about $400-500 across the entire package.

The wife decided that we should get the blower because she doesnt want to deal with the snow once it at the end of the driveway.

So... I AM STOKED!!! Best part is it is suppose to snow on Monday and I will be taking delivery on Saturday! YAY!!!

You realize, of course, that pictures are manadatory, right? Just kidding.

You're in for some interesting times realizing all the things your machine will be able to do! And like me, you might even find that lawn mowing actually takes less fuel than using a push mower...:thumbsup: Congratulations!

Just watch out your better half doesn't take over!!:laughing:

Now the fun begins...! Congrats!

I'd ask for pics but you're probably still cruising the neighborhood.

Harp,

How did you know that I was out on the town with my new BX? Are you stalking me?

It is raining right now so I am not going to uncover my little girl today. I am struggling to figure out how to link picasa into TBN. Ummm... So...

Here are my initial thoughts.

The BX2360 has super easy operation! It is easy enough that after about 15min I was able to teach the wife how to start and use all of the implements. At first she had some apprension. But after a few trips around the house she was hooked.

The FEL is perfect! Yesterday the wife and I did about 45min of yard work with the FEL. We moved a small pile of firewood closer to the house. The wife was smiling the entire time. I think she liked watching me load up the FEL as she sat in the drivers seat. It was way better then having me load the wheelbarrel then move the wheelbarrrel.

The mowing deck is stout! I regret that I did not buy this tractor last spring. I missing having a lawn to mow!

The snow blower is HUGE and SOLID! The picture speaks a thousands of words. The rear snowblower is almost as large as a BX series tractor. But the 51" deck is made to last. The second stage impellar appears to be made of 1/4" steel and the impellar is made of 10 gauge. This is a very well build machine.

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

I have no doubt that the wife will be able to use our new BX2360!
