I purchased a BX 2200 several months back and have had all the same problems everyone has with the 3pt hitch. I do have the updated links etc, just tough to work with no matter what, and those check "chains" are ridiculous! The solution...I bought a cat 1 quick hitch for $179.00, the best money spent on the tractor yet. A small price to pay to be able to solve ALL the BX 3pt problems. it changes the geometry so you can use a sigfnificant top link without bending it on the tractor when you raise an implement, the check chains are permanantly set, and no fighting with attachments, just back up with the arms lowered and lift onto the implement pins, throw the levers to lock it it and drive away without getting off the tractor!! (of course you will have to get off to hook up a PTO shaft if the implement has one). I highly recommend it to any tractor owner, especially BX people. If anyone needs more info or pictures, I will be glad to post it/them. Enjoy!
