Well, it is a long story, as I said to JMIII, it quickly is that I bought some more land (just a little) within a tractor drive of my place and also that in the long run my BX may go visit my sister (maybe).
Right now I am having fun comparing them in tractor contests--tractoratholons--so far the BX is holding on pretty good though it is outgunned, it got game!
One thing about that photo you might notice is how little difference there really is in the physical size of the units. I am exploding some myths too--one is that the larger 7500/2410 will have a smoother ride--well maybe with turfs but these R4 tires make it ride harder than the BX (opinion).
I should be caned as a traitor, especially if my BX goes to summer with my sister.
J, very naughty

I got a 1/2" electric impact wrench (DeWalt DW290) and immediately changed the wheels from the turf tires to the bar tires.
Very nice tool, though I may only use it a few times a year.

You are coreect in that there is not much of a difference in size. I have pics of my GT225 and the 4100, parked next to the same landmark (my portable B'Ball court), and there is quite a difference in size. But hey, your units look real good together.

I actually did OK at Christmas ... as a couple of other guys did, after many years of wanting ... I finally got a 1/2" impact tool set along with an air compressor (the latter of which has yet to arrive from Santa). And this of course opens up a whole new and "target rich" environment ... for air tools!

Nuru,
It works great, looks like an oversized electric drill, but it takes 1/2" drive sockets instead of bits. It impacts something like 2400 times a minute, so it loosens the nuts for you automatically with no effort. Just pull the trigger until it loosens and spins off the nut. It both loosens and tightens with a forward/reverse trigger. The thing puts out around 250 ft-pounds of torque.
I could not even budge them manually using a long 1/2" breaker bar but this thing spins them off in no time flat.
The DeWalt works like an air impact wrench you would see at a gas station, but instead of compressed air it has an electric motor. It is a lot quieter than the air tools. I did not care to invest in the cost, space and noise of buying a compressor, hoses and compressed air tools. I found it for $175 at Home Depot. Sears Roebuck also has a Craftsman Pro for about the same price, but I went with the DeWalt.

Nuru, the electric impact wrenches work very well. I've owned two different brands in the past. The only trouble with them is that the ones I've seen only put out about 210-250 ft/lbs as wdn said, whereas, my air impact goes 425 ft/lbs. Of course there are some of the air impacts that have no more power than the electric one, so it just depends on your needs.
