BX 2230 3pt hitch

[cmyoung2]

Is it possible/practical to keep the 3pt hitch in the up position while using the mid mount mower? I can keep the mower deck up while using the 3pt, can't figure out how to go the other way. The arms tend to dig in when I back up on unlevel ground.

use rope or chain to hoist the 3-point up to the top link.....maybe

It's a common issue to have the 3-point hitch arms interfere with operation when using a mid-mount mower, especially when backing up on uneven terrain. The good news is that there are practical solutions to prevent this.

I had a BX 2350 and the 3 point was setup to pin up. It seems like there were some eyelets for it but it’s been several years ago I traded it so I don’t remember the details.

The three point lowers by gravity so any method to hold it up should work. You may also try slowing the lowering speed to zero by adjusting the valve by your feet.
