Dale,
I'm guessing you mean Eastern NY/ Wester CT? Anyway, if so I purchased a
B7610 in April from Emerich's in Charlton, NY. It's about 30 min from Albany. I have had very good luck with them so far. The reason I went with them was because right off the bat I, a newbie tractor owner, was treated fairly by them... unlike others in the area. They will deliver, although with the distance, at a fee. Service has been great the one time I've had it in. It was back two days later...
www.emerichsales.com.
I believe the deal they had at a home/garden show a few months back for the
BX24 was $15,900 with BH and FEL but I could be mistaken. I was looking at the BX but decided on the 7610 because of the ground clearance and loader capacity. Was always told to pick a model then jump up to the next size.
Anyway, give them a call, visit their website... I'm sure you'll be happy!
Also, the do store their equipment outside (can you imagine the expense of indoor storage???). But their turnover is so fast that they don't sit out long enough to weather.
Good luck!
Keith
