Very pleased overall with tractor and here in washington state they are very hard to find. I looked/operated at bx23 but found that the 2310 had a little more of everything. i even had to get one with 18 hours on it because there just isnt any in the northwest. I do seem to notice alot of play in the bushings from loader/backhoe and would like to know if you guys have it also. Not real worried about it yet but I am greasing and watching them closely. Yes I did pay $16,900 with 60" mmm and extended warranty. It was a better deal than bx23 with mmm for $18,000. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
