which one

[99rt]

hi does any one think it's worth the extra $ for a Bx 2660 vs a Bx 2360 ? thanks.

It was for me.

I don't think it is. My 2360 has more than enough power for the size of the tractor. If more power is needed then more tractor size is also needed.

When I was looking at the BX series, I didn't feel it was worth it. Ultimately I ended up at the B series.

The score is two to one, bottom of the 3rd.

Since I don't have either, I have no real opinion or knowledge. The short answer to your question is always going to be yes or they would not have paid it and there would be a lot of 2660's in boxes or on Kubota lots. But by rephrasing the question, it might yield more useful information. Perhaps ask: For those of you who purchased a 2660, do you still feel it was worth the difference in cost, and why?

Yeah, there are a lot of ways the question could be asked, for me it came down to a couple of things. I was really interested in a B2920, but determined it would not work for me, so I "dropped down" to the BX2660. I had a BX2200 and wanted more power and with a bad back and the BX2660 seat, BX2660 was the "best choice" for "me". Two years later, I am convinced I made the right choice.

I am sure many BX15,18,22,23,25 owners feel the same.

I owned a BX23TLB with a 60"mmm and a front snow blower and it did everything I needed to have done. Had It about one year, thought I needed more of a tractor, more power, higher ground clearance and higher loader capacity. Bought a new B3200 TLB, very happy with tractor and glad I bought it but truthfully the BX23 did the same chores that I now do with the B3200.

thanks I have a 2350 it works great plenty of power but that reverse is killing me and i'm really thinking about taking the loss on a trade and was wondering if it would be worth sliding over to the 23 or to the 26 sam

Hi thanks for your input sam

I had a BX24 and in my experience you will run out of traction far before you will ever need more power (if you go with the 2360). How much more is it?

 

[Bamacummins]

I was faced with the same decision you are making. For me, the seat made all the difference. I am 5' 9" and the adjustable seat just made it more comfortable. Assuming I have a lot of seat time, then I would hate myself for not spendin $7-900 more. Besides, I got more HP for the money even though I may never need it.

BTW, I love my BX 2660. Best thing I ever spent money on. And to quote a friend "whoever said a dog is a man's best friend, never owned a tractor":thumbsup:

Whoever said a dog is a man's best friend never owned a tractor.

Ha, that is a great quote...I may adopt it!

I'm not sorry I went with the 2660. Would the 2360 have sufficed? Probably

The BX2660 has a very comfortable seat. Very important if you spend alot of time on the tractor.
