I think a lot will depend on which adapter (boot kit) you got. I have a BX2200 but I don't think it should make that much difference. The deck deflector on mine is metal. I got the heavy duty boot which as part of the assembly has a hinged part. You lift the deflector up on the deck and...

After a number of posts over time on the ability to stop a diesel engine I was curious about my BX2200. I looked at the Parts Manual which shows a stop engine lever and a separate stop solenoid but it does not appear obvious to me how I could "manually" do this. Or can I? There seem to be...

My BX2200 air cleaner bracket has now broken for the 5th time. I do have the "newer" bracket design since I purchased the machine (2003). I have gone through 2 brackets and keep replacing the pieces that have cracked with pieces that have not. This last time I had put silicone rubber "washers"...

Since it was 81 in Minnesota yesterday and the first time we have not had snow in March for the past 120 odd years I thought this was appropriate. I once owned a JD 185 and had a de-thatcher for it. I kept it after getting my BX2200. It is a well built unit and one can get extensions for it...

Like my BX 42 chipper. Now that it is cool enough outdoors to cut trees and clean up areas I wanted to improve my chip handling abilities. If you need to save your chips for landscaping projects and don't want to have piles of chips all over the place or move your chipping material to just one...

Do people have problems engaging the different PTO options on a BX2200? I find that the lever positions for Mid, Mid+rear, rear only are very close together and bear no resemblance to markings on the plastic guide. Is there a trick to engaging? Sometimes things just slide in, sometimes it...
