    BX1850 or BX2660 for 5 acres

    So I landed an older L185DT. After all the advice here I'd been gravitating to 30-35hp L models above my intended budget, then this thing appeared with a loader and box scraper for a song so I couldn't resist. 650ish hours. Starts immediately, burns clean, clutch and hydraulics all work fine...

    Ag tires? Right. I've done that late when everything is dry but the rest of the year may as well drag a plow. The two BXs have turf tires. I meant to ask, how would industrial tires do for mowing? They seem much less aggressive, like for gravel and pavement. Maybe ok on lawn near max pressure?

Its mower deck is a 54" vs the bx1850's 48". 650hrs vs the bx1850s 200. I'm still on the lookout for a good stand-alone mower if I should be so lucky. That would...

    BX1850 or BX2660 for 5 acres

    We're shopping for equipment for our newly purchased 5 acre home and could use suggestions. I've considered starting with a separate mower, maybe zero-turn, but they all seem disposable these days. Hoping tractor versions will last. I've found both a BX1850 and BX2660 with low hours. The BX2660...
