Ready to buy a BX2360 but have questions

mdale · May 14, 2010

I have a few questions before I buy a 2360. First will I still be able to use my garden tractor attachments or is the BX too big? I have the following pull behind attachments 4' lawn roller, 4' core aerator, spreader, and 40" detacher. Also will my cat. 0 3pt stuff work, I have a 12" brinly plow, 4' brinly disc, and a cultivator. I'm still trying to decide on which tires to get, I'm thinking I 'll get the turf tires because I already have a set of 26x12x12 bar tires but there on JD rims. I think/hope that the turf will do 90% of the work then I can get some kubota rims for the bar tires and use those in the snow and garden if I have to. Also has anyone came up with a quick-tact rops or folding rops, I will need to remove it for some of my mowing needs but would to easily put it back on for loader work.

thanks

No expert, but the pull behind stuff should be no problem. You can buy sleeves to convert Cat 0 to Cat 1 diameters, but you might want to check into just buying new pins. You might want to look at how well built the equipment is. With more power and traction available you could tear up light equipment if it gets hung up. I am thinking of the plow in particular. I tried to use an old Simplicity two wheel plow behind my JD 318 and woind up bending parts of it when it took a nose dive deep and I didn't notice. Just my two cents worth.

I agree with doug on the equipment. I use Industrial tires on my 2305 and 2660, but a lot of people like JOHNTHOMAS report turfs work well for all around tires. Personally I would probably just go with chains rather than bar for snow.
