They do seem to hold their value extremely well. I will say it is nice to have a second dedicated mowing machine in my opinion. Especially if you have some rough ground you will be working on with the tractor. I don't want to be constantly dealing with a MMM removal/install but some (I should say a lot of) people are more patient than me. To give you perspective, I like to get going on a job as fast as possible. I have to park my Zero Turn mower and BX tractor in the same spot which means invariably, I have to start and move one of them to get to the other most every time it seems.
ullinghair:I have to find better parking/storage arrangement! Just another project.
Yes BXpanded... can't recommend it enough!
No, but have considered it and also the Bro Tek ripper with optional trencher. I have (want) to put in several hundred feet of underground water lines for a couple risers and additional irrigation around my property and thinking this might be better than my 12in BH bucket. The Bro Tek though has the trencher attachment so it might give you both ripping and trenching but at a price. Take a good look at both. I would probably get more use out of a trencher than a ripper.
