I am a proud new owner of a used BX2200 with 920 hours that has always been a yard queen - never had rear PTO used and it came with 60" deck.
I acquired a LA211 from Ebay which luckily is the newer style loader with valve that stays on loader bracket but missing the flex boot / cover over the valve bank. Messick's hooked me up with all the tubing, fittings, and hoses to factory install the 3 lines and they will be going in next week. I may invest in the upgraded loader valve (joystick) with integral 3rd function lever for a future grapple - looks to be around $450. Loader bucket needs a cutting edge (factory one acquired while at Messick's) so that will get replaced and everything needs cleanup and paint.
I also acquired a 54" deck complete except the covers but the price was right. Noticed right away someone really abused this mmm and had to weld up a lot of cracks/straighten the wheel mounts. Hit the top with some orange paint and it looks good. New blades arrive on Friday. That will be handy since the 60" doesn't fit my trailer.
