Someone else can give you a better idea on prices so I won't offer that.
What I will offer is that the price difference between a BX1830 and BX2230 is probably about $500. For that difference I decided to go with the larger BX myself (at that time BX2200). One time investment good for 20+ years...
All are good tractors...whatever you decide on will work well for you... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
The 1500 can be had from 7600 to 8200 with the 54" deck depending on how much your dealer is willing to bend. I bought my new BX1500 with 54" MMM for $7800 recently and financed for 2 years zero percent financing, couldnt go wrong with that..........Happy Hunting.
