Hi,

I have posted a thread or two on here about wanting to add a back hoe to my 2350. Well my dealer has a woods back hoe and with the kit can make it fit for $5000. I just recently got a price on a used BX 24 for 12,900 and a slightly used BX25 for $14,500. I also priced a rear mount snow blower since we are last on the states priority list and live decently far up the mountain. I was going to trade in my 2350 which is payed off and only has 170 hrs on it. I also want to get a thumb on what ever I buy. So what one would you guys buy?

Between the options you gave I'd go for the BX25. But if it was me I'd contact Barlows Barlow Equipment - Home of the Kubota Tractor Package Builder first to see about a trade to a new BX25 with the 0% financing for 48 months. Finance Promotional Rates

Thanks JohnThomas,

I did not even check on the financing. That is definately a good idea. I was wondering how much of a difference is there between the 24 and the 25? Any refinements? We will probably end up doing this at the end of this month or beginning of March. I appreciate everyones help.

I believe that the BX25 does not have the abrupt stop issue. Other than that the are basically the same. But like JT said. How much for the trade on a new unit with 0% being offered. Bet its close and your money stays in your pocket for now.

I was offered 9500 on my bx as a trade in. It has 170 hrs on it. I do not think that is too bad since the dealer has to make some money too. JohnThomas, what did you pay for your 25?
