New BX22 arrives

[rlw]

Well, I like several other BX2200 owners on TBN have been drooling over the new BX22. I decided to wipe that drool off and trade my BX2200 in for the BX22. It was delivered last night. I haven't been able to try out the BH yet - just tried out the removal and installation of it - very easy and quick! I also put a fresh coat of wax on it so she looks extra purdy now.
Now, if the monsoon season ever ends around here, I'll get out for a real trial of the BH - can't wait.

How much of a hit did you take on the trade?

rlw - I took a test drive of the '22 on Saturday and am quite impressed. I've seen a few posts where dealers frowned on people trying out loaders or backhoes. The dealer I visited pointed me toward the back 40 and a pile of dirt. He told me to have at it. I have great respect for bh operators after my first try. I was amazed at the bh on the '22......dug a small hole.....filled it back in. A real operator could have had a pond dug in the time I got my little hole excavated/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif. Lots of practice will be required.

Looks like I may be retiring the loader on my '66 Cub(and my shovel). C
