Tractor Sizing B7500 vs. Bx 2350

[xterra]

I have a 2007 BX 2350 with 400 hrs with no front hydraulics and was wondering if you guys think it would be a downgrade if I traded it in for a 2002 B7500 with 450 hrs and a FEL. I love my BX but want a FEL. Thanks

Same horse power, larger frame and a FEL seems like an upgrade to me.

I was thinking 2007 to a 2002.

I don't think the model year is nearly as important if the condition is good and it isn't lacking some feature that you really want. Doesn't sound like a downgrade if the condition is comparable.

Hours are the deciding factor in tractor value in my opinion. That B7500 looks newer than my 2015
L2501.

Thanks guys :thumbsup:

Power steering is a big deal for me for loader work especially so that's something you might look at with the B7500.

Our B7500 has power steering, its been quite the workhorse.

One more question guys, will my 60" deck from my BX fit a B7500?

Probably not, our BX2660 has a suspended deck (the wheels are not intended to be in continuous contact with the ground and the tractor linkage sets the mowing height) and our B7500 has a ground contact deck (it runs on the ground and the wheels set the mowing height). The linkage is similar between the two, but I don't think that they would interchange.
