Which one, BX2230, BX23 or B series.

Here is another option:
Get a Simplicity LEGACY X L.
It's the only small tractor you can buy and add an OEM BackHoe to later.
It's also the only one that you can add a BH to later with the proper safer rops.

I would take the BH over a grass catcher.
It's much easier and cheeper to add a grass catcher latter than it is to add a BH.

which one of these did you decide on?

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of response. I've been away for a while. Thanks for all the info. I am seriously considering the 7610.
From what you guys suggested and the research I've done on my own I think this is the best choice in my price range. Thanks agian for the help.

I purchased just over 2 years ago and looked closely at the BX22 but ended up going with the B7500. I am in the woods a lot and the higher ground clearance has really paid off. I also think the slightly larger front tires on the B models help if you are dealing with mud or other sticky terrain. I do not finish mow with my tractor - a MMM was around 2k so instead I purchased a zero turn radius walk behind for $2400. No trimming and the walk behind is great exercise (only mow about 1.5 acres).
