Hello all, Have been brousing the site for some time now and i am ready to make a purchase on the BX24. I am purchasing my first house (in central NJ) and the BX24 would be a huge help. I had a few questions i hope some of you guys can help me with.
1. I am trying to shop around and i heard from here about Emerich sales and service up in NY. Well anyway he said that he does something "special" with the bagger unit to fit on the BX24 because its really not made for it. Something about the way the backhoe mounts. He said the bagger is made for the 2350. Is this true? He also said that when he is done with it the bagger wont fit back on the 2350, not that i care though. Anyone know of this?
2. Does the 60" or the 54" MMM work better with the bagger unit over the other? I am having trouble deciding between the 54" and 60" mover deck. Meaning would the smaller deck help collect the leaves and grass clipping better? I heard someone putting 60" gator blades on the 54" deck, is that possible and why? I am not sure if the 60" will be too big. I know its only 6 inches bigger than the 54 but not sure if that 6 inches (3 inches on each side) is a huge difference? I have just over an acre (1.1) and right now there are A LOT of trees. I am planning to take most, if not all down, so i am not sure if i am gonna wish i got the 60" after i cut them down just before next spring.
3. Does anyone know of, or have any experience with Hollingers Sports 'n Turf in Ephrata, PA. They are working some numbers as i type this. Just dont know how their reputation is?
4. Anyone with experience with the snowblower attachment, how deep of snow is needed for the blower to work? Hows the over all performance of the blower. any negatives other than price?
Thanks for anyone who can help. This is a huge purchase for me and just dont want to run into any issues.
