I bought my BX2200 new in 2000. I used to comment here from time to time but I've pretty much been a lurker for the last five years. I' ve picked up a lot of good information here over the years and never felt much need to comment. But this getting hosed over the hoses issue brought back some...

How many tractors are enough? Just 1 more! <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

Thats how I remove mine, lift it out of the mount and then disconnect the hoses. It takes less time and is easier than dropping the mower deck. In fact it is easier to put on or remove the loader than to put on or remove my Befco 60" rear blade. Works best when done on a flat solid surface...

I like it. I already have one but I like this style. I would definitely spring for one. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

Last spring when I was looking for a mower to replace my John Deere 112 w/48 in deck, I would have jumped on a ZD and never looked back. (If they were availible then) I wandered into a Kobota dealer looking for something old and used. I saw the BX2200 and knew that would fill the bill for me...

I'd add a tachometer, better lighting, toolbox, and a much more comfortable seat. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

Re: Amazing 60" BX Mower Deck I know what you mean. I am still impressed every time I mow what used to be wild ground or garden areas. It doesn't matter if it is more grass than weeds or the other way around. I've mown with Simplicty, Cub Cadet, and John Deere but this BX2200 gives me the...

If I had the kopecs I'd go for the kelly. I would like to paint it Kobota Orange though. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

2 fuel filters on mine too, bought it last year, I got the replacement filters from Carvers, maybe the hydro filter was a next closest fit item. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

Part # 15241-32906 oil filter Part # 1-K1211-82320 air filter Part # 12581-43012 fuel filter Part # 70000-15241 hyd. filter <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

It's just common curtesy to let the groundhogs know which way you are going to turn when your out in the field. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

{ But of course that means I don't understand it registering .2 in 12 minutes of warm up. } Bird, 1/10 of an hour is 6 minutes so .2 on the hour meter would equal 12 minutes. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

<font color=orange> Just wish that there were something I could do in return for the dealer </font color=orange> You could try subliminal advertising. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

I once saw a fellow on a contstruction site who had taken a 5 foot blade ( just the blade ) and welded large "C" clamps on the back of it. He would then just clamp it to the sideds of his backhoe bucket and use his backhoe to scrape flat large areas like garage door openings. He would smooth...

Re: We want pictures! Gordon, You are right, six inches or six miles. If only I could move forward or back I could have got it out by using the front end loader. I just had to go sideways only. I had a guy wire from the electric pole in front of the rear tire, one in back of the rear tire...

Re: We want pictures! I gave it a wide berth today. Even in the car I could feel a powerful magnetic type of force pulling the car that direction. I'm sure the massive amount of iron in the Kubota contributed to last nights fiasco! <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

Re: We want pictures! Last night while plowing the drive the BX slid sideways and got wedged between 2 guy wires on an electric pole. Battery was dead on S-10 Blazer so no help from it to pull the BX out. Tried to use the car (Dodge Stratus) as a pulling point by hooking a come-a-long to it...

Here in N.E. Ohio it is Bread, Milk, and Toilet paper that people hoard during snow storms. Those are the first three things to completely disappear from the store shelves. <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

Pick ??? I don't think so. Rock drill and dynamite, maybe!!! <font color=orange>George</font color=orange>

I have a large area of hardpan in one field were the neighbor used to plant corn, wheat, oats etc. He would plow the daylights out of it and could not break it up. It didn't matter how many bottom plow he used, how big a tractor he used, or what direction he plowed. When he hit that spot...

Here in northeast Ohio a lot of farmers use no-till planting for corn, soybeans, etc. The farmer that leases three of our fields is a big believer in no-till planting. Less fuel used in ground preperation is a major factor. I still think that not turning the previous years crop under to...

Sometimes a penney saved is a penny burned. George

In Youngstown Ohio today reg unleaded gas was $1.27.9 and road diesel was $1.57.9 George George

Jarrod Check out the BEFCO site. I have a 60 in rear blade and it is very well built. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Same as with KUBOTA. http://www.befco.com/products/groundengage/rearblade.html George George

Pehaps spraying the unit with WD-40 and then covering it with an empty bread sack or plastic bag tied on with twine would help keep the moisture out. George

Thanks for the insight everyone. I knew I could get good information here. I'll just stick with my regular fuel and I don't really anticipate any problems this winter. I was just curious what could be gained and at what risk. I wouldn't want to void my warranty in any event. George

What is the advisability, advantage, or danger of mixing small amounts of kerosene or JP4 aviation fuel to your winter diesel fuel supply. Would either help prevent gelling, or improve cold weather starting and engine performance? Would the engine blow its head through the hood. I understand...

I've had my BX2200 since early may. I bought it with the front loader and 60 inch mid-mount mower deck. I recently added a befco 60" rear blade. The first week I had it the litte red pedal cover on the differential lock disappeared. I was not too surprised. It was too loose to begin with...

I thought maybe we should have a picture of one of our riding wheelbarrows posted. Here's mine. I usually don't have much to smile about but this was taken the day the the FEL was put on and I think I might have started to grin just a little. George

Is that just one suitcase weight on the front or is it two? I'm sure you have had to add several more since this picture was taken to help keep the front end on the ground and all that power under control. Have you considered adding a backhoe? George H (BX2200) George

I've had my BX2200 for about 3 weeks now. Only have about 14 hours on it due to rain or work schedule. May have to give up work. This machine has performed beyond my expectations. Mowing with the 60" midmount mower is actually a pleasure. The machine is so easy to control. I was a little...
