Re: Front loader won\'t lift tractor Just to add to what Milkman said in relation to the tires being able to roll forward... If your tractor is HST and is in Low range, try putting it in high range or neutral, my BX 2200 can barely get the front off the ground with it in Low unless I give it a...

Thanks for the heads up B2400. Just had a chance to check it out and you were right the rotation is wrong for the tiller. This could save me some time and aggrivation or create more by trying to figure a way to make it work.

I just got a rototiller from an old Bolens garden tractor that I'm going to try an adapt to my BX 2200. Over all it is in pretty good shape. The gear oil or what was left of it looked like mud, but did'nt cause any major damage. I pulled apart the gear box and bearings, gears and shafts all...

Just got off the phone with the service manager at dealer. He told me that when the lever is past the detent and in the float position it should remain locked there until operator pulls it back. I asked if there was anything I could take a part and look at and he advised against it because it is...

No the valve does not stay in the float position, but I had the the same thought. That is, it did stay in the float position when it was new w/out having to be held there. I'm wondering if there is not some way of adjusting the valve. I tried removing the cover over the valve once and there is...

When the loader (LA211) was new the amount of force it took to get past the detent to the "float" position was considerable with a very positve feeling that you were going past it. Now with approx 20hrs on the loader it seems the detent is non- existent taking very little force to get to the...

Started to notice that there seemed to be more movement in the throttle handle before there is any response from the engine. Removed air guard so I could see up under the dash. Can see where the cable connects to the handle and there seems like there is an awful lot of play in it. About 3/4" of...

jrlichina- Thanks for the response. What you said is what I suspected, that when pedal is all the way down diff is locked just wasn't sure if it was still somehow operating when pedal was partially depressed. Still don't understand wording in manual about slowing engine speed. It would seem a...

Does anyone know when the diff lock is actually engaged? The pedal seems to go down to a certian point with some resistance and at other times it will go down a little further with less resistance. Also manual says to slow engine speed before engaging. Any reason why? As long as the wheels...

What is the functional difference between these two blades (besides the knives on the box). I have Bx 2200 w/FEL and was leveling some dirt (10yds) today where some stumps had been ground out and was'nt getting the best results. I realize it's takes quite of bit of seat time to get good with the...

First I'd like to thank everyone again for all the helpful info in this forum. It really helps. Heres the break down: 2003 BX2200 (63 hrs) 60" MMM 3 pt Boom Log Splitter (very medieval looking but totally functional) 6' rear blade Price $8800 Got it home Sunday read the manuals, checked it...

Cecil - A co-worker of mine just bought one last month w/FEL and MMM. He was a previous simplicity owner (same tractor 16 yrs) so I think it swayed his decision somewhat. I can tell you he did a ton of homework on all brands of CUTS and made many trips to many different dealers. He and I had...

Hey Boys- Thanks for all the input. I've decided to go with the the '03 BX2200($8,800) not only because of the extra power but I can really put the log splitter and rear blade to good use. Also like the idea of not paying tax on something new. Probably won't get FEL right away, but I know once...

I'm in west bend area. So far I've tried mid-state in jackson, Feldmans in howards grove ,tractor loader service in waukesha and Lochen in Newburg. Lochen has been the best in price and customer relations so I would really like to deal w/ them plus they are close by. What gets me is the range of...

He's selling because he has toooo many toys. Also I've shopped around as much as I can in my area for he FEL and $2600 was as low as I could find. I'm just wondering if there is any wiggle room.

Hi All - I 've been watching this site for a couple of weeks and gathering some very useful info. Thank you. I'll get straight to the chase I'm looking to purchase a sub-compact and have pretty much narrowed it down to the bx1500(new-FEL & 54"mmm) or bx2200('03 32 hrs., 60"mmm, 5' rear blade &...
