sc2450 bh vs other mfg

[CLR]

I know the cub cadet sc2450's have not came out yet. But with talking to cub sales rep and from what I have heard from others is that you have to order the sc2450 bh "package" to be able to mount a bh? Is this normal in the subcompacts that you packge it?
-You end up with a bh that is stuck to that unit, if you can't mount it to a 2400.
-Doesn't that leave you with a smaller resale market. Yes, I know everyone would love to buy a used one but $, practicality, and wifes letting you are another thing.
-If you were to get a new tractor down the road you wouldn't be able to mount the bh attatchment you all ready have onto it so you'd take the depreciation again.
-Most of all you have to decide upfront if you want the bh option and have to $$$$ upfront for something you don't exactly need right away, but would like to be able to have in the future.

I think what you are talking about is a subframe to help suppourt the backhoe. You can buy them without the subframe, but that can tear up your 3 point hitch. If I bought one for my little tractor, I would want one with a subframe. You are correct, it pretty much limits that backhoe to that type of machine. Thats one reason I didn't get a backhoe, it would be over 5 grand for a backhoe for my BX2350. If I really need one I'll buy one some day, but will most likely rent one if I need it.
