Replacing B2620 with BX2670-1

[628pm]

Talked to my dealer the other day, replacing my b2620 with fel,bh, & mmm with a BX2670-1. Sold the property I used the B on, so going back to a lower profile BX. Added the quick connect bucket, fel, mmm, brush guard, and pallet forks to the BX. I know I will probably regret getting rid of the backhoe, but my neighbor said I could use his if I need one. The B has sat for about 6 months without use ( use kubota rtv with boss v blade to push snow). The B was not a very good lawn mower and doesn't handle ditches very well (high profile) (neither does my zd326 when the ditch is wet). Wife likes mowing so she will use the BX when she wants to mow.

Went to John Deere to look at their specials (only a block away from me). They wanted 4300.00 difference for a 1023E. This is with no additional attachments after the FEL and mmm. Told him there won't be any Green in my garage especially since I was comparing the BX2670 to a 1025R John Deere, this is probably about 1000.00 higher than a 1023E.

Should receive the BX next week, got to put the backhoe back on the B before he arrives.

Congrats on the new BX2670. I've got two BX's - a BX2660 and a BX23 - and I like them. I'd have a hard time giving up a B2620, but you will like the BX2670.

BX and B are great machines but bigger is not always better, it's just bigger.
Individual needs should always determine the one to get. I've been up and down in size (several times) and usually always glad when the new one comes until my needs change or get one paid off .
Did you trade in you B or sell it? Hours on it and where can it be bought? Helpful for people hunting to know where a documented owner used model can be bought.
Congratulations on moving forward to happiness. :thumbsup:

The B had 418 hours on it, garage kept since I bought it new. Traded it in at Okawville Ilinois Kubota dealer. No where close to John's total, but this is the 5th Kubota I've bought. I know I will miss the B2620 because of the backhoe, but I might use it once a year (bh). Wife retiring next year and she likes to mow but not with the zero. I mow my neighbor's 3 acres for them (98 year old and wife is 96 years old), so with our 3 acres we will have plenty to mow each week.
