1. Are the BX owners happy with their buy? I have yet to meet a BX owner who has not been happy with their purchase though I am sure there are some. I am on my second one and when I went to buy my second one, I re evaluated and thought I might want a bigger tractor, but in the end went with another BX.

2. Can you stop the rear hitch at any height or is it just up and down? Is it live? Yes, it can be stopped, but it takes a little practice unlike on one of the larger tractors.

3. Can you operate the FEL and MMM and rear attachments at the same time? Yes

4. Is the 23HP enough power for the tractor or would I need to get the 2660? I believe it will have plenty of power, I went with the BX2660 in large part because of the seat.

5. I will be using it to mow 90% of the time. I think I would like turf tires. Will they hold up under a load on the FEL or do I need R4s? I personally prefer the R4 due to the hilly terrain of my property and the R4痴 don稚 damage my yard while providing a little better traction.

6. How are the hydraulics cooled? Cheap plastic fan, I have Bro Tek Skids on order.

7. Is there any problem with the BX2360 that I would need to know about? Not that I am aware of.

8. Is there a big difference in the fine cut MMM and the standard cut? I honestly don稚 know. I often mow in wet grass, so the fine cut won稚 work for me; had one on a John Deere and had/have lots of problems with clogging.

9. The price the dealer gave me on a new BX2360 with 60 standard MMM and FEL $14250.00 plus tax. Too high or about right? That is about right; depends sometimes on the part of the country and availability.

Good luck in making a decision. Be sure to test drive it.
