Perfect Cross between Kioti 45 and BX 2200

nc redneck · Jan 7, 2015

I believe I have sold farm much to my regret. If buyers back out it may be best day of my life. I have a hst kioti 45 and bx 2200, both of them great machines. If you were looking replacement for both what would you get ? Bx is tough and will do 90% of what I need but loader lift is weak and height is not much. Must have a belly mower. I looked at BX 25D spec hard but not much different than BX 2200. It must he a HST.
Thanks

Hmm, I'd probably look at a B2650 if you need a little stronger loader and more ground clearance.

If the BX is to small move up a size to the B series

Kioti CK series.

Or kubota L-series. I think you can get a MMM on the grandL line, but not sure. IF it wasnt for that, I'd say an L3200/L3800 would be a nice fit.

I second what S219 said, a kubota 2650 is a nice unit, a friend of mine just bought one, he really likes it and those do not have the tier 4 junk on them either.

No belly mowers on Grand Ls. Awfully big rig to be mowing a lawn with.
I 3rd (or 4th or whatever) the B-Series. My uncle has one and loves it, though he doesn't mow with it.

My mistake. I thought they had MMM option.

I know deere 3x20 series does. Or at least did. Which is comparable to the Grand L 3x40 series

The Grand L's did have the mid mount mower option at one time.
Not sure when or why that changed.

Ah, so maybe I wasnt mistaken.

I'll agree, its a bit large for a mower. But like everything, when trying to consolidate two pieces of equipment into 1, there will be compromises.

So you can either have a heavy lawnmower that has the loader capacity you need. Or a lighter (better) mower that may lack a bit in the lifting department
