QUESTION - how often is the BACKHOE used on this BX23S set-up ? is the backhoe worth it for the tasks? My wife is having doubts about it - the whole tractor thing, (she hasn't actually looked at it though), I still think it is the one best suited for me / us.
backhoes are completely new to me and I'm wondering if the backhoe has the value that I believe it does? I can think of a multitude of purposes for the backhoe as part of the TLB package, but perhaps my funds are better spent on the other implements ?
with the integrated backhoe in the BX23S package, it is not likely that I'd find a solo backhoe for this in the used listings (why would you sell the backhoe separately? this integrated one comes with the BX23S) If I were to buy a backhoe later, it would not be an integrated one.
similar / comparable for my needs, might be
B series models B2311 or B2261 don't have the backhoe incl
BX series models BX2680 or BX2380 don't have the backhoe incl
... pulling on the BX23S purchase trigger (I have a deal good till the end of May)
