No pricing, specs, or actual operation shown; best for buyers weighing configuration and options rather than seeing it work.
An owner-operator on a 72-acre northern Michigan property sharing personal buying reasoning shortly after taking delivery, with more hands-on videos planned.
He looked at many used tractors but could not confirm they were maintained to a high standard, so he preferred the confidence of buying new.
He wanted to avoid a tree branch punching a hole through the cab while working in the woods, and he has had both hips replaced, making certain movements less comfortable.
He wanted a backhoe without moving up to the LX series tractor size, and felt the BH-92 was the right size for removing stumps and moving logs on his property.
He said the upgrade was not cheap, costing around two thousand dollars, compared to about five hundred dollars for the standard manual thumb.
