Anyone have an idea where I can get competitive prices for BX2230, 54MMM, FEL, and snowblower? Ct. would be perfect, but most dealers are not willing to negotiate at all here. Any recommendations? Would really appreciate your advise. Would be willing to travel 200 miles if it would help.

royalstar, I would suggest giving Art a shot. He give tremendous support to this board and offers a wealth of knowlege and experience. He just might be able to give you a competitive price even with shipping. Sometimes the best things & deals are right in front of you.

I was going to offer the same thing as Chief, only do it BC. In any case, I'd be awful leary now to buy in NH with no sales tax. I'm lears because of the UCC filing that any tractor mfg, has to submit. I know where I live in CT, the town is well aware of my year old tractor, how much was paid and the CT sales tax was collected at the selling dealer.. This tells me, that the states can and do pick up on these UCC filings and it isn't worth trying to get around the sales tax.. ....

Art, I'm asking for your advise. Can you quote the package I described (BX2230, FELw/4 position valve, 54"MMM, snowblower)? Also what do you recommend for rear ballast when using FEL or snowblower? I've heard so many suggestions---ballast box, wheel weights, back blade, load the wheels, etc.. What is your opinion?
Thanks to everyone for offering advise. I appreciate the responses. ....

WE often load tires with calcium upon the customers request. We do install tubes and we don't use any other types at this time as the calcium is the heaviest. I prefer removable weight if the loader is not going to be used on a day to day basis. The wheel weights might be nice for day to day if the tractor has problems with traction for mowing on irregular terrain if nessecary. The rear weight box is my second choice. Many tractors are set up far to heavy to be good performers. They use to much horsepower just to move, this increasing the fuel consumption as well as wearing the drive trains out prematurely. ....

Thanks alot Art! Do you have a quote? I have no idea where you're located. That might make it impractical, if you're too far from Ct. The wheel weights sound like what I'm looking for. I'll take you're advise on that. ....

From where I live, it is just over two hundred to Art's. OF course if your nearer Waterbury, Danbury, Torrington areas, then it is closer but not more than by thirty or so miles. I've shopped just about all known Kubota dealers in this immediate area and have no problem going out to Utica area for a Kubota. Besides, Art been at this since the original colonies. I truly believe he forgot more than a lot of dealers know now. ....

All right who gave out my age! I didn't realize my link was turned off for e-mails, I took care of that, I will only give retail pricing on the boards as I consider every deal between the customer and dealer. I've seen pricing that was on the boards that was below dealer cost for units and if they did buy it for that, chances are it was a mistake by the dealer. You fine folks get my two cents worth on the board for free and if you can put a value to it that is great. For what I've learned about how to assist people in the market for a compact tractor from this board, PRICELESS!! ....

Thanks Iamarbur. I wish Art was closer by. He sounds like the BEST! I was given a couple of leads to good dealers within a 2-3 hr drive from my home, which I'm also looking into. Seeing as how I'm going from a 30+ year old Cub Cadet garden tractor to a Kubota BX2230, I have a lot to learn. I read every posting I can on these tractors. ....

Royalstar: I've got about the same rig as what you are looking at. There are some pictures on my website which may be of interest to you. I have neither the wheel-weights or ballast on my tractor and have not had a problem with traction or instability. 4wd is a wonderful thing. I'd be happy to answer any question I can for you, I love my setup and am a big Kubota fan now. ....

Hi AV8R. Enjoyed your pics. I know I want the BX2230 with mower, but not sure if I should go with 54" or 60"? Have bumps and small hills in my yard, and some rocks---typical of New England. You had a picture of the 3 pt hitch on the back of your machine. The last picture you had was of the 3 pt hitch with a ball hitch. How can I get one of those? I have a cyclone rake for leaf removal that I would like to adapt to this tractor. What you had would be perfect. Thanks! ....

I picked one up in Milford, NH from Chappell Tractor ( Dave Gage - 603-673-2640) with LA60 Loader, 60" belly mower, 4 way control volve, turf tires w/rimguard, mulch kit, block heater, rear tire chains, and Hi-capacity alternator (on back order) for $13,737 no tax including delivery 60 miles south into MA. Then I went back and picked up a demo 50" snow thrower for just under $2,000.

Very nice people to deal with. I had a hyraulic leak at the 4 way control (Kubota left out an 'O' ring!!). Chappell sent out one of their repairs trucks and fixed it in my garage, no charge!

I'd go back again! ....

Royal: Sorry I missed your post. I made the trailer hitch from a standard/universal/genaric "Fleet Farm" draw bar and some steel bar that was in the dumpster at work. Welded it up and there it is. Total investment is maybe $25. (getting rusty now, gotta blast and paint it soon!) ....

I have the FEL.
I have the snowblower.
The FEL is no comparison to the Snowblower.
(kinda sounds like the Quayle -vs- Whats-his-name debate)

The FEL is too short and has too small of a bucket to be a good snowmover. (my opinion) ....

1*Why do you believe that a snowblower is not need, if you have a FEL?
ScooterMagee
*************************************
1*I purchased my first tractor a new 1966 Bolens with a 48" front blade 38 "mmm and rear mount tiller.
Over the years I have mowed acres and acres of grass and moved ton after ton of dirt gravel slag and snow with the Bolens and those implements.
The Bolens is 2 wheel drive and the front blade is manually raised and lowered by hand with a lift lever.

My reasoning is thus.
Since I was able to remove snow with the Bolens without the aid of a snowblower on it why would I need a snowblower for a bx23 4X4 to remove snow?

I might be over looking or missing something here.
If so please let me know!

A front blade is an excellent snow removal attachment, a FEL is not.

If you have ever tried to clear a driveway with a FEL you would understand (especially a gravel drive). A FEL with a bucket does nothing to remove the snow from in front of you, it just piles-up until it spills off the sides (unless you carry it off bucket, by bucket). Where as, a blade (angled of course) rolls the snow to the side, out of the way, and a blower throws it to the side, out of the way.

Point being, a FEL is not equivalent to a blower, or blade, when it comes to snow removal. Will it work - Yes. Will you be happy with the results - Not Likely.

A “full size Ford tractor” with FEL, is not a SubCUT (BX2230).

Having used a 16hp Cub Cadet garden tractor with a blade and a JD2210 with a FEL to move snow. I would choose a blade over a FEL. And, given the option, I would choose a blower over a blade, or FEL --- Just my opinion.

A FEL on a SubCUT, is not the best choice, for most snow removal tasks --- Just my opinion.
