    Well, the financial advisor and I were looking at things this morning. We may have to wait a bit but will be talking to another dealer or two; just in case. Might even break down and go smaller.

    Backwoods, I have the BX2360 with just a loader and no how and it is unbelievable what you can accomplish with even a tractor that size. I am sure you have seen the pictures of some of the logs I have drug with it. I have no complaints with it at all.

    The loader in my opinion is the most important tool I have. It has saved my back so many times I would never own a tractor again without one. I'm pretty sure Mahindra has comparable tractors in that size also.

    yeah Dennis my neighbor got a little (for me) Massey 18 hp diesel for under with FEL.. mows lawn ..pushes snow.. I think 11k with rebates.. a FEL saves time $ and injury... I know a lot of people hate debt but 6 years at 0%.. is free money

    Couple pics of what you can do with a BX series 23 horse. I have a ton of other pics just not on my phone.

    Once you have a loader the amount of things you start using it for are almost endless.

    Thanks Certified106. I have sort of looked at those but have shied away a bit thinking they are just too small. However, I do plan on borrowing one from a neighbor to do some work with it just to see if it could fit the bill for us. I think you could also put a backhoe on it but it would be a small one and probably a 12" bucket but that would not necessarily be a problem here in this yellow sand. The smaller tire size might be a problem but I don't know. I do like the less dollars going out though and my wife has agreed to go with me to the dealer.
