Am I not allowed to make more then one suggestion? Are you the forum police?

It takes alot for the gears inside a gear box to get trashed. I dare say you'd be good to go on that particular hog. Even if you get liquid peanut butter out the drain plug, flush it with gear oil and add some new to it..

If the excavation company had a mobil tire company come out and change the tire on site I can easily see $1,700 for the repair. That'll make a difference too, whether or not you have a mobile truck come out or you take the tire to a shop. Mobile rates a usually higher then shop rates.

I dare say by the time you cut down a 6 foot blade to suite a BX the width would be getting close to the pivot bracket and you wont have much of a blade left. Plus I can see it being to short and compromising the spring loaded trip feature. Sounds like a bad idea in general. May be better off...

If the price is right on the L295 and you have a little extra coin in your pocket an after market loader can be bought new. Looking in the neighborhood of $3000-$4500

Not sure if you're aware of Tractor House, but I drool there quite often and use it as a ballpark guide line for tractor pricing. They currently list 26 BX2230's with prices all over the place. Some with loaders and mowers, some just loaders or others just mowers. I don't think the $8200 price...

For me I'd jump on that bush hog for $675. Around my neck of the woods, either a 4' or 5' being sold for anything less then $600 are basiclly worth scrap metal. They've beaten to death and abused hard. Deck is bent all to crap and over all not safe to use. Bush hogs don't have many wear points...

It's all shits and giggles til someone giggles and shits...

As with everyone else you'll probably regret not having a loader on your tractor. And finding a quality used loader are hard to come by. My advise is hold off until you can find something with a loader on it.

I suppose they are busy trying to free themselves from snowmageddon.

Do you REALLY want to know what I say?? I say sorry for ever mentioning anything and ever asking for help from people ever again. Call me bitter or call me an asshole, I really dont care. It just pisses me off to no end I do sooo much for everyone else and I keep hearing I'll get my reward or...

Curtis and Sims both do

ItBMine is right, the 2501 is a new model just under dpf rules

Basically all I'm hearing is nobody is interested in helping. Because I've yet to read where anyone would be willing to help. No big deal, I'll figure something else out. Thanks for the information ladies and gentleman.

Pricing is going to vary greatly acoss the globe since this forum is on the web. Best thing I could suggest is take a peak at Tractor House and get a general idea what they run for. You'll notice there that tractor price varies by a few thousand dollars to a few hundred. www.tractorhouse.com

Listen I know how to run a business, Ive had this one for the last 15 years. I know all about the ups/downs and struggles of owning one. This is my second season with the business full time. I ran it full time 15 years ago, economy went south and I scaled back to part time and did what I could...

Don't worry I won't say a word, my lips are sealed. Oh btw HIGH FIVE LMAO

Everybody has completly missed the point I was trying to make. I fucked up in the past and was irresponsible with my money and how to manage it at an early age. I filed bankruptcy when I was 23, not long after I bought my first home at 21 and had 5 vehicals in my name. My credit is shot to shit...

Im supprised nobody has picked up on his comment of putting on the forks to off load the bales... Are you using clamp on forks that affix to the loader bucket? Causing extra weight out front or are these pallet forks where the bucket comes off and those go on? Much like the ones used on a skid...

Ive got the business aspect under control. I know what my numbers are and my profit margins. As I said in the first post this is my second season back fulltime in the landscape industry. The past two years Ive been running my ass ragged mowing lawns and doing maintenance work. And profit...
