Thanks to all of you who responded to my posts reguarding a BX23 vs. B7510. Well I did check out the B7510 and Kioti CK20, and I must admit the CK20 is a nice machine well made and very heavy, it was the same price as a B7510 and is well worth the money. I did not need the weight so I then checked out the B7510, it is a nice machine but it is a "little" too big for my applications and I feel the higher ground clearance could get me in trouble in the woods since I have alot of ravine back on the property and I want it to stay all natural and pristine (if you know what I mean). The BX 23 fit the bill and I could not really justify spending the extra $2000 on the B7510 since most of the work will be on flat ground with no mowing or heavy pulling. I hope I will like the BX 23 and it should serve me well. The main thing that turned me away from Kioti was the lack of popularity and lack of local area dealers but I will say they do have a super heavy duty machine that will out perform the B7510 hands down if you have to do heavy dragging, and I will say it is in a class of its own compared to any of the Kubotas. I am not bashing the Kubota line up but Kioti will be a stiff competitor if they follow through with increasing local dealers, parts support, and advertising. (this is just my opinion) and you can see that I went with the BX 23 since it is light, compact, and has an excellent reputation along with dealer support and parts, I feel I made the right choice. Again, I want to thank all of you who responded to my posts and I think this is the" web site of web sites" along with a helpful group of guys who offer honest imput to help out in buying a machine. My biggest decission now is what to name it. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
