I have a BX2230 with less than 10 hours on it, and I've already driven around with the brake on. Man, I felt like an idiot. Glad to hear someone else has done it too. REALLY glad to hear I did no damage.

You know what I'd like a light for? Not the brake, but for RPM's. How do I know how fast I'm turning the engine when throttling up/down on the 2230? More importantly , does it matter as long as the engine isn't straining?

Hello all

It never fails. I drove an hour to the "local" Kubota dealer on Saturday, with cash in hand, to purchase a BX1830 w/ FEL and MMM. When I got there, they had posted a closed sign on their door - too much turkey, I suppose? So I got a chance to poke around on the other tractors they have and darn it, I started to change my mind!

Then to top it off, when I got to talk with the sales rep yesterday, I found out that the �redesigned� 1830 will be somewhere around the current price of the BX1500.

So now I have to decide if I want to get a B7510 ($15,300 out the door is what I was quoted), a BX 2230 at $12,700 (w/o tax and doc fee) (no 1830�s in stock) or wait for an undetermined period of time to get a �redesigned� BX1830 that will cost closer to 10k. All are equipped similarly, with FEL and MMM. All I plan to do, in the immediate future, is move �inches� of snow and cut grass on small to medium sized suburban lots, and I�m in the mid-atlantic area where we don�t usually get significant snowfall until January or February.

I asked about 50 hr. service; they said that wasn't included. I also asked about pickup and dropoff, they said only within the first 60 days. After that I'd have to pay approx $120 for the service.

What do you think of all that? As a newbie, I'm interested in your advice.

Ready to buy but how much should I pay

Thanks all for all the assistance. I have honestly evaluated my needs and mechanical ability, and decided that I'll go with the Kubota BX 1500. With loader and mower, brand new it's $9500 with 0% financing. If I need something larger in the future, I'll just trade up. I'll see you on the Kubota board!
