BDU-10 AND BDU-21 transmissions

[evan4434]

The 2500 series uses the BDU-10 transmission and the 3000 series uses the BDU-21. On the 3000 series there are hydraulics that come off the transmission for the deck lift, power steering, and axu hydraulic hookups like a loader. I found a loader for a 3000 series, but I don't have the hydraulics on my 2544. Does anyone know if the BDU-10 has a spot to hookup some hydraulic lines. If so, has anyone tried this?

I think to get hydraulics on a GT2544 you need to add the hydraulic pump kit used on the hydraulic tiller. It had a mounting plate, pump, pulleys and hardware needed to run the tiller.

Do they sell this seprate from the mower, and if so do you have a part number and price?

Thanks

It's what the dealer adds on if you buy the tiller so you'd have to ask them how much and if it's available.

Hmmm interesting I JUST posted a new hydraulic tiller on craigslist..! Let me know if you're interested.

thanks

Oops sorry, it's for the 2000 and 2500 series model 190-002-100. Brand new from a dealer is 1800, I'm asking 1300. (and it's new!)

thanks

They will not sell it as an assembly. You have to buy each part. Just the pump alone was $700. It would be cheaper for me to sell my 2544 and get a 3100.

I'd recommend the 3200 over the 3100, for 3 more HP, and the differential rear lock, which would help if you get the loader.....and they're very nice machines.

Does a 3206 have the locking rear-end? They have a used one for $2300. I am not sure what year it is, but it does not have the aux hydro like the new 3200 does.

I don't think so. I think the only rigs with the diff lock are the 3225, 3235, 3240, and 3200. The 3200 is also the only one that comes with the second valve from the factory. They're nice machines. I have a 3235 (25HP) and a 3240 (22 HP) that I'm selling, and a 3200 coming in that I'm giving to my Dad. I know they all have it!
