Hi all....I'm considering the BX23 as well as the JD-2210 and an aftermarket BH to do some "watershed maintenance". I really like the BX23 as it should do all I need it to do, however, the lack of ground clearance scared the devil out of me as does the 2210.
Has anyone ever taken their BX23 up & down along the banks of a stream & gotten stuck? I looked underneath the BX23 the other day to see what kinds of stuff might get damaged but I was absolutely clueless. I do believe on flat land, this would be my machine of choice, however, the terrain kind of dictates using a larger machine with more clearance.
I'm thinking now about looking at a tractor with more ground clearance but I keep looking back at the BX23 with the FEL & BH already attached and wonder if it's all I really need. What's underneath that I need to watch out for and should I get a bash plate for additional protection?
Anyone gotten their's mired in the mud and been able to use the hoe to drag themselves out? My biggest fear about the BX23 & the 2210 is having to tie onto either of them with a winch & tug myself out of a bad spot. Sure I could get into a bad spot with a larger tractor also....which would require more winch.
