Actually it is better than a BX for mowing. I have a BX2660 60" MMM FEL but this F2680E with 72" front mowing deck will eat the BX up mowing but that's about all it will do but it does that one thing fantastic. Guess you can add implements on the front but I don't. It'll spin on a dime and keep right on mowing. I can't hardly stay on it when I push the pedal all the way down and that's in the turtle speed. Rabbit speed would surely cause nose bleed. Someone wanting a fast mower, this is it. Yes, I considered a Zero turn but went for this one with a steering wheel. Some say zeros are faster but I'm not speeding down a paved parking lot, I'm mowing grass on less than perfect ground. You can drive right up under trees and bushes which you can't with a zero turn. Also cutting in front of you on a drop off which you can't do with a zero turn. Just have to remember the rear end is swinging around when you turn. You can see in front of you exactly where the mowing edge is on both sides and with rear discharge deck it lays down a flat spread row of mowed grass, no piled up rows. It's not 4wd so it won't climb like a mountain goat but there is a 4wd model and with the 2wd there is a differential lock to make both wheels pull. Holds 11 gallons of fuel so will mow most of a season for me on one tank. $12000. Not for sale or trade.
