Hey! Looking for advice. I am looking at two used tractors, both in really great shape with 1200 hours each. One is a BX1500 with mid mount mower, rear blower, and blade for $9300. The other is a B7100hst 4x4 with a mid mount mower only for $6500. Neither has a loader, which keeps the price within my reach. I have a small driveway and about an acre of yard to take care of. The blower isn't really needed, but is nice. All I really need is the mower and the ability to tow a little trailer around my yard. I really don't care at all about the quality of the cut, I am not particularly fond of my lawn, but I do care about 4x4 and the 3ph since I would like to be able to navigate snow and pull a trailer to move firewood.
Would love to hear thoughts. I am really attracted to the price of the 7100, but I worry about parts since it is an older tractor. The 1500 seems like a great setup, but it is way more expensive. I am limited to what pops up used around here, and it doesn't seem to be much! I can always keep waiting I suppose.
Thanks in advance!
