    RMM for BX2200

    The MMM also sticks out the sides etc and gets in the way of some projects like the one below. Loading on the trailer with my current setup would also be more difficult with the MMM due to the loading angle and the MMM hanging down

    RMM for BX2200

    I have a 60" MMM. The MMM bangs around a lot with some of the FEL/Box blade projects I do. I have had to replace one of the deck lifting arms and they are pricey. The MMM also reduces my ground clearance.....but mostly it is the banging around.

    RMM for BX2200

    So I purchased a BX2200 a few years ago and it came with a MMM. I mow about 3 acres of my 5 acre property. There are a few trees around the house, but overall it is wide open and flat. Overall I am happy with the performance of the MMM, but I use the BX for a lot of other things besides...

    Float when using Edge Tamers?

    I have done this and it works okay, but with the bucket on float it would raise and ride on top of the snow quite a bit. If the ground is level and even it would work not in float mode, but would be problematic if the ground was uneven.

    Float when using Edge Tamers?

    I got a set last year for my gravel drive. Worked well. I use float. What I found what the digging in depended on the angle of my bucket. As long as I had it parallel to the ground they did not dig in even if the gravel was not frozen down.

    Anyone make a 2x12 or similar angled snow pusher for their bucket?

    This is a project I started a while back. A snow pusher to attach to my bucket. It is still sitting the the garage not completely done. We didn't get much snow last year. Biggest problem is figuring out the best way to attach it to the bucket. Brief testing showed it pushed well, but would...

    Aluminum Ramps for loading/unloading your tractor or skid steer?

    This is what I use for my tractor. Rated at 3000lbs per pair. My tractor is a BX, so it more than fits the bill. https://ericksonmfg.com/product/non-folding-arched-heavy-duty-aluminum-ramps/

    Tractor advice for 40+ acers

    Man, that’s a bummer. It seems to normal to have to go through and tighten bolt and maybe add some fluids, but definitely sounds like there was big issue when they were assembling it. You would think that purchasing a new tractor would at least save you from issues for a while. Hope that fix...

    BX23S can't lift front bucket loaded with gravel

    When you say it won't lift it, do you mean when you are getting a scoop from the pile or after you have a bucket full away from the pile? I have moved/spread 40 tons of topsoil and 30 tons of gravel this past year with my BX2200. Once I had a bucket full I had no issue lifting it etc. The trick...

    Stadt's BX2680 Project Thread

    Congrats on the purchase. I am sure you will find all kinds of ways to use the tractor. I got a BX2200 a few years ago when I purchased my 5 acre property and it has been great.

    BX2200 Suspension Seat

    I dont think there is a BX2200 direct fit option, but there are a number of videos that I had found showing the install of suspension seats. I also have a BX2200 and have looked in to it, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Only drawback that I have heard is that it makes your seating...

    Took Possession of My New Tractor

    Congrats on the new machine. I got a BX2200 shortly after I moved to my 5 acre property. I have used the crap out of it. One of the best purchases I have made. Saved my back a ton of times and makes it a lot easier to tackle projects that would be a pain any other way. For lights. I swapped...

    Am I operating in an inappropriate way?

    I purchased a used BX2200 and have been happy with it. I have had to fix things from time to time, but overall it has been a good machine. I would say I have worked it hard, but not beat on it. With an older machine I would think you will find things you have to fix, but if you pay attention...

    BX2230 Non Starting Frustration

    I had a frustrating issue with my BX2200. Previous owner had replaced the starter a number of times and it would only work part of the time. Using a small piece of wire to jump the starter would start the tractor every time. I found that over time/years resistance had built up through the...

    Starlink Question

    Just from looking at your screen shots it appears you are running some of the speed tests over your data/cellular connection, not your starlink connection. I have had starlink at my house for about a 6-8 months now and it works well for me. No wired options where I am at and in a cellular...

    Tractor advice for 40+ acers

    For the $$ you want to spend I think the bx23s would do what you want. I have dug stumps successfully with a cheap towable backhoe, so it can be done if you take your time and don't try and push past the machines limits. You could also get a stump grinder if you wanted, but they are pretty...

    Best way to level land with a sub compact BX23s?

    Yep. There have been plenty of times I have told the wife I was going outside to find a tractor project to do. I also tell my friends that anytime they have a project that "Might" be easier with a tractor to hit me up....simply because I enjoy it.

    Bx 2200

    I would follow the height adjustment know mechanism and see if it unhooked somewhere

    Bx 2200

    I have a BX2200. Just to be clear, you are setting the height knob to what you want (the knob near the floor on your left hand side) and the deck just drops all the way down? Does it stop here you want it and then gradually leak down, or does it go all the way down with the lever regardless of...
