    Flail size

    I'm running a Woodmaxx 62" flail mower with grass Y blades on a BX2200. Lifts and turns it just fine even through tough 3' grasses. Does a fantastic job of mowing my lawn when I feel like running it.

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    I got to use my flail mower today on 3'+ tall grasses. I was surprised as to how well my little BX2200 with the Woodmaxx FM62 w/Y grass knives handled the task. No problems and mulched up everything perfectly. I love my flail mower and my BX2200!

    Mowing Fed Up w/ BX Drive-Over Deck. Making a Change.

    Yeah, a flail mower does a great job. I got a Woodmaxx FM-62 for my BX2200. Been running it a few years now on and off. Last year I needed to use it to mow my lawn because I had to replace the bearings in the MMM and I was waiting on parts. As far as regrets, it was one of those things I wanted...

    Mowing Fed Up w/ BX Drive-Over Deck. Making a Change.

    Why not try a RFM like a KingKutter with a rear discharge? You can mow right up next to trees/shrubs, underneath them, etc. The cut is phenomenal too. When I get my bigger machine, I am going that route. While I like the compactness of the MMM, I've had odd issues with it and I've realizing...

    B2650 to LX3310 worth it?

    I had the chance to use a L4701HST MFD w/loader w/loaded R4 tires this past weekend with a KingKutter 72" finish mower. Comparing it to my BX2200 is like night and day. Ride is much better, the taller grass barely made any hesitation on the engine, and it's what I'm looking for. 22 HP versus 47...

    Troubleshoot Belly Mower Issues

    Swiss army knife of tractors

    Nice tractors and puppies! I've used my BX2200 to crush unwanted/large objects. It's fun playing demolition in the driveway with old junky furniture. Sure makes it a lot easier to dispose of. I'm so good with the loader controls on my tractor, I can pick up quarters with it.

    There is a huge difference between the frontal area in terms of swing on that Toro versus mounting it on a tractor. A converted rear mower put up front would stick out like crazy.

    L4330 not turning on

    I would replace the battery. Batteries are consumable items and need replacing every few years. When you replace it, make sure to get a paint pen and write the date of replacement on it. If you want to be double sure your battery is shot, when you bring it to the parts store, ask them to do a...

    B2650 tire pressure for mowing

    BX owners: any ways to increase loader capacity?
