Interesting. I was thinking about this for my 54" Fine Cut.

If you don't mind, how much are they?

What are your overall impressions of the BX1860. I want a 48" deck for maneuvering around trees and it looks like your stuck getting the 1860. Any complaints?

The total came to 180.00 with PA sale tax. That is for baffle and blades. I wanted the smallest tractor I could put a FEL on Even though it is Phisicaly bigger than my 20 HP Craftsman It steers a lot tighter maneuvers a lot better Also have a lot of trees.I researched a lot before I bought the 1860 It is well built and everything you need in a small package and the Bonus was the Price

It's good to see the addition before it's covered in grass !

I know they say to leave the chute deflector on, but I took mine off, it sure is nice not to have it hanging out there.

I drilled a hole at the back and end. That lets me hook a bungee cord on it, flip it over 180 degrees, and secure on other side of floorboard so it takes up less space when parked. Re-torquing that spring when putting the chute back on would be problematic. If grass is too thick, you will still get discharge, even with the baffles in place, so the deflector still has a functioning reason to be there.

That is what I have been doing when pulling in the shed. I already had it off to drill holes for my Cyclone Rake deck adaptor and you are right the spring is tough to get back on, But when it's time to put the adaptor back on for leaves the deflector will have to come off.
