Mowing 60 Inch deck mowing

[Anonymous Poster]

Try as I might, that knob will not trun to 'top'. Any ideas?

You have to retract the deck fully and then turn the knob to "Top". The deck has to be all the way up from what I can tell.

I got a BX2200, FEL, 60 MMM and a box scraper for 13,300. Not the greatest price around, but alot less than other dealers in my area. It seems that the Northwest is a little higher than other parts of the country (higher shipping I guess). I did go out of state to save the 8% sales tax.

When the deck is lifted up there should be holes on the MMM frame and the tractor for pins to hold it up. At least it's the way it is on my B7500 and the pins were in the tractor's tool box under the seat. The manual tells how it's done, it seems easy, but I ain't did it myself.

I'm assuming turning from 4.0 to "Top" as opposed to the other way... even with the deck all the way up, I can not turn it. Perhaps I'll ask the dealer to have a look at it.

Jim,
Congratulation on your new tractor. The BX is a popular choice.
I have had really good luck with Jennings Equipment, not to far from you, in Puyallup.

The BX has a different mower design from the 7500. There are NO holes as in the 7500 to pin the deck up just as there is no height control/TOP knob on the 7500. You may engage the top position when the deck is at full up and then rotate the knob to top and then move the control lever to down to drop the deck onto it's resting position. To disengage the TOP STOP (or whatever you wish to call it) raise the deck full up with the control lever and then rotate the height control/top knob to the desired cutting height. Since the deck is shaft driven you can mow in any deck position without damage but I warn you to keep bystanders back with the deck raised up as it will throw sticks and stones with great velocity. I suggest you purchase a light duty 4 foot brush cutter despite the naysayers naysaying and have at it with your MityBX. Goodluck. J

Thanks, I talked with Brady(?) Jennings about a fair special, he had the best price in WA that I found, but he could not overcome the sales tax issue. So far I love the BX... yesterday I found a Hydraulic leak found a crack in one of the fittings. I will get it fixed tomorrow.
