Empty Lever Slot on BX2200

Anonymous Poster · May 15, 2000

I have an empty slot to the rear of my 3pt lift on my BX. It has a picture of a hydraulic cylinder, extended and retracted. Is this for one of the fascinating but unknown options or is it just a case of using one panel for lots of tractors (sniff sniff).

I was thinking of a cylinder on the rake would be nice. Is there an easy way to tap in to the system?

I'm still looking for the 4 foot backhoe!

It should be a slot for a single remote valve lever. All you have to do is buy the remote valve, remove the plate where it goes on the side of the transmission case, install it, and hook it up to the cylinder. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I have a snowblower ordered for my BX2200. Is this where the lift cylinder lever will go? I was lead to believe it is the same lever as used on the loader and hangs off the side of the tractor.

If it's a front mounted snowblower, no. You'd use a fender-mounted remote joystick, which isn't the same as the remote valve option used for rear-mounted hydraulics.
