Well, my dealer likes me. I've spent a lot of money with him, on two previous Cubs, a 2150 and then a 2206. I decided I wanted something larger, and was looking real hard at the 3240.By the time I got it loaded up with a front blade it was up around $7500. The dealer knows me all too well, and showed me the Kubota BX.
Now, I dont have a lot of land, only about 4 acres, and not a lot of things that you normally would really want a larger tractor for, and after all, it would usually be used for mowing and the BX seemed like a huge overkill. In the end, the construction of the BX as well as the utility sold me. Resale helped a lot too, used Kubotas around here get a premium.
Now that i have the BX, I can't believe all the uses I've put it thru, and I have just 15 hours on it! I don't regret it for a second...I love the 'Bota. Even the wife is warming to it...she wants a lot bigger garden, but I've grumbled my way out of it in the past, this clay is so darned tough for a walk behind tiller...so out i went last saturday to buy a 48" Rotavator for the 3-pt... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
