JW - - I can't be of much help, I'm afraid. However, the price would be high around here, at least when I bought in the spring of 2003 [BX-22].
If your price includes a MMM, then it starts to sound a lot better.
I paid $16,300 last July for my BX23 up in NH. The pricing is generally higher in the NorthEast. That price also included the high output alternator, a toothbar, loaded tires, and a 50 hour service kit. I did not get a MMM with the tractor. It was a good price but not the absolute best price I could find - for the best price I would have had to go to Emerichs or one of the other out of state dealers.

especially since it included the 60"MMM. )</font>
