I am thinking about trading in my 2006 husquvarna riding mower in that to use weekly to buy a land pride finish mower for the bx. I just wonder what eveybodies thoughts are if it's a good Idea or not. My thought was it gives me more seat time on the bx. Any comments would be helpful good or bad.

Not a bad way to go :) looking into the same thing but going with a 60" deck. I'll have to keep my mower though, got a few spots where the tractor won't fit. But going from from 5 gallons of gas to a couple gallons of diesel and cutting my time down is a big motivator :)

It's a 1400.00 money difference just not sure it's a great move . Going to sleep on it. The thing that gets me is dealer has the bx already for warranty repairs and I have to go pick it up when it's done so it's really tempting

Yup, truck and trailer all ready there ;) the main thing is whether your comfortable spending the money or not. I've looked at a few other models, haven't had a chance to check out the lp yet, or the price for that matter. I have had a couple cases of sticker shock though:rolleyes:

I'd put the $1400 into a good rear blade for snow removal. You want swing or offset, and rotation. 60" would be a good match for the tractor

Hi Wrencher I also have a 2005 husq 48" deck and a bx2660 54" deck. If you have steep hills you might find the bx a lot tippier ( if that's a word) than the husq but the bx is a lot more fun and pulls up the hills alot better. Good luck in your choice Barry

I already have a honda snow blower with tracks and love it so the blade is not a need at this point. I have noticed that the bx is a little unstable on some inclines, but not a real issue I'll just mow up and down the hills. I really don't use the mower a lot maybe 1 hour a week to cut that part of the grass. It's an 06 with 100 hours so I don't use it that's for sure. Basically buying this to use the bx more often.

Wheel spacers will cure the tippy feeling. Have a set of 2" on my BX2670 and it is like night and day in the stability.
