About to pull the trigger....B2360

[JDinVT]

(should read above 2320) Sorry! I cannot edit it!

I first was looking at the BX series, but the B series feels a bit more comfortable. I am not huge guy (6' 188lbs) and I caught my pants on the leverage three times getting off and on the BX! AAA! What a weggie. Maybe I need to do some squats.

So anywho - the B2320 has less HP than some of the BX series. Should I be worried about running a snow blower, brushhog, and MMM? I am not too worried about the FEL. I will be using that to play in the woods and some snow removal.

Thanks TBN - sorry for all the questions recently.

Also - the price I got with the FEL, R4 tires (filled), block heater, and three hooks on the bucket was $15,200. Looking at other threads - this seems high. I have seen 2320's on this forum going for:

B 2320 HSD Std.Tractor, 4wd, 23 diesel hp, Turf Tires
$10,299.00 Cash Deal
$10,419.00 Financed Deal
After 10% Down ... 60 months @ 5.99% = $182.00 per month
(Sales tax and insurance is not included)

And another

B2320 with R4s
RCK 60 MMM
LA304 Loader

Cash Price $14,400


I should add the only reason I am not hopping on a 2920 is because of a budget I need to work with. 15,500 is about as high as I want to go.



What am I doing wrong?

I would personally want at minimum a 2620, have you gotten a quote from Barlow's?

 

[JDinVT]

No - I read your post and then googled it. KY is very far from VT. Do they air drop?

 

[TripleR]

No, but they will deliver by truck just about anywhere and at least give you a quote that might be of use in assessing those in your area.

Barlows delivers all over the place and apparently offer unbeatable prices. You should have no worries running implements on any tractor you choose as long as you size them correctly. The B2620 and B2920 give you a bit stronger loader, but each hop up will cost you ~$900. I operate my 60" MMM at 2200 rpms and it never struggles to get the job done.

Thanks TripleR and EtW - Both good tips! I will totally "play" the numbers! I will email them now.

Thanks a bunch! Maybe I will be able to afford the larger tractor.

Very seldon do you ever hear anyone say that they bought too large of tractor. Most of the time you hear that they wish they would have bought one that was a little bigger.

True! That's why i moved past the BX.

It'll cost about $600 to $700 to ship a tractor from KY. As long as you can wait a little and they can get a couple of other deliveries in the NY New England area the price could be a little lower or higher.
