Mine threatens to do the same. 🙂  In addition to the 750 I bought this year, I also have a nice new JD lawn tractor we bought new a couple years ago, a 71' John Deere I refuse to sell, and a 74' Sears (Roper) ST-16 with a cat 0 three point hitch.

Every time I so much as look on CL, I get the evil eye.  LOL

pork, any issues with your bx bogging down? Last couple times we have been running it, the engine will start dropping rpms and will sometimes shut off, it restarts after several minutes, but will run choppy and will finally smooth out. I'm thinking fuel filter.

Also clean the radiator shroud. 

Now that you know what you want you could look for a higher hours, bigger tractor that is comparable in price but weighs more and can lift more. Tempting for me but my garage is just too small for much more.

The following users say thank you to PorkChopsMmm for this useful post:

Me personally I have been saving pennies for the L series Kobota " http://www.kubota.co.....eries.aspx "

I feel like the bx is to small to accomplish the tasks that I would like to do, its not that it cant do the job it would just be more efficient with a little bit larger machine.

Found this one,

lol, that would be exactly something I would do

I think for right now I am going to hold off, it does okay for our needs so I am going to see how this winter goes. But as a man, we need more power!
