Anyone out there,<br>
<br>
I am again considering ourchasing a BX 25 tarckor Loader Backhoe. A couple of years ago I had a Terramite T5C with 20 HP gas. I used it alot and was always impressed with the power and versitility of the machine but especially the power. I parted with it for a song (Dummy me) and am considering another but am considering the BX (or B) for the utility of being able to use numerous othe attachments in working my newly purchased 5 acres. <br>
<br>
I very breifly test drove the BX and was surpised at the lack of hydraulic power in the hoe. Now the soil was extremly rocky and I had not used my T5c in rocky soil so I am certain it was not a fair comparison. SO, The question is, Has anyone out there actuall run both machines to give me a fair comparison of the two?<br>

Jeff,

Were you staying at a Hotel or Motel? It happened to me. I was making a trip to pick up some stone I got from a friend. The wife and I stayed at a Days Inn. We unhooked the trailer to do some sightseeing and when we got back the trailer was gone. Long Story short, an agressive towing company towed it away as being illegally parked. The Motel people did not even know about it until a week later when they got the storage bill.

Also, Keep an eye on e-bay. There is more stolen goods on there than you can shake a stick at.

Thanks again for the great advice and comments. I am checking with the Kubota Dealer ( yes I have chosen Orange) to ask if he could check some options out for me. I am going for the BX with a hoe but rather than getting the BX 24, I am thinking of getting the BX2660 and have a woods hoe put on it. This way I can get a little better HP, 26 v. 23 and if I remember correctly, the specs on the Woods was a little better than the BX24 BH.

I need the dealer to check if the extra in price will be worth 3 extra horses and what the drawbacks would be to the woods BH v the Kubota. Finally I want to make certain that that woods subframe would not intefere with the MMM.

Thanks again for yoour help in guiding me thru this process.
