My BX1870-1 review i have 18 hrs on it,
grass cutting review (48"deck),on a average lawn i use (2)or (2 1/2) deck cutting hight and cuts real nice, the tractor speed is close to a zero turn on a flat open lot, on thick wet grass (12 in high) i use(2) grass too thick, i need to rise the deck to a (3),and then it was cutting fine then the next cut i would drop to(2) ,i have used 4x4 on a patch of lawn that was mud never got stuck, turning the tractor in tight spots excellent.
Review on loader,and i also used my weight box,I moved 3 tons of loom and 6 tons of 3/4 stone, my terrain is hilly and un even, grass and dirt ground and tight spots ,with the bucket full, never had a a issue of lack of power or unable to lift the weight,i also was cleaning out some over grown, i never had a issue, i did get stuck on a tree stem(mower deck on tractor i should of removed mower deck my fault) i got unstuck via lifting the tractor via the front bucket and backed out.
i put the tractor thought its pace this weekend even in the rain and never let me down,my RPMs were 2000-2800 rpms when using the tractor, i never thought i needed more HP,or wish i bought a 2370 ,i realized it is not a L or M series tractor, the tractor is worth every penny i paid and then some and a back saver, so my advice buy a 1870 tractor if it fits your needs i bought this tractor for what i though my needs are for a average home owner and it fits perfect also the price i paid i am happy and service from my dealer.
things i wish i had for my tractor but still does not effect my positive review
better seat,the orig seat hard to sit on .
things replace
both steering shaft boots
1 ROPS knob
i will review triple bagger and snow blade in the fall and winter
things i am glad i bought
front grill guard( already hit a rock)
ROP lights
rear light
turf tires
loader
