jhr said:Oh I have no intention of buying that rental. I rented it for a day to do some work around the house and see how a BX worked and get a feel for the size. I was already talking to the dealer about a new BX. A few weeks later I got a call from the salesman saying that the 23 I rented was for sale at a "real" good price of 12.5K. I politely said I really couldn't justify the backhoe. From what I've seen the used market for BX's is very good if you're a seller here. I expect that tractor will sell this spring for pretty close to what they are asking. By the way, I loved the machine.
You couldn't talk me out of mine but you could talk me into a bx1500 with a front blade and a tiller on the back.jhr said:Oh I have no intention of buying that rental.
