BX 2200 Competition From MF??

NY_Yankees_Fan · May 25, 2002

Looks like the BX will have some competition from MF. If you visit the site at
http://www.masseyferguson.agcocorp.com/

You can see the tractor and the specs, pretty close to the BX with FEL, and 60 MMM. Wonder what the price will be?? Any ideas???

Going to take a lot to beat the BX2200, I LOVE mine!

This is what the web site said....

Massey Ferguson announces the release of the new GC2300 Garden Compact Tractor along with the MF2350 Loader and MF2325 Mid-Mount Mower. These new products meet the demands for the consumer customer both in productivity and value. This style of tractor is sometimes referred to as a Sub-Compact - a hybrid between a compact tractor and a large garden tractor.

I like it. It looks like they really studied the BX including the reverse flow radiator. Surely it has 4WD?? J

I'd say yes, 4wd......it has ag tires on the front. Looks like a neat little machine. My Pop has a MF 1125 - great little tractor. Would have definitely looked into this if it were available when I bought my BX. No matter though as I am very happy with the BX.

I sure don't see any reference to 4WD.....

It looks very good but I wonder what it looks like with the FEL on and how easy it is to take off/put on as compared to the BX2200. I did notice the FEL is a 4 cylinder setup (2 attached to bucket instead of 1 like the LA211).

Does that say "4WD" right between the badging on the hood and the front tire?

It must be 4WD, I like the BX like flat floor too and it has a ROP and seat belt unlike the green X machines. This is an exciting entry to the subcompact line up--now there are two. I am beginning to beleive the Cub entry is a no show, but fingers crossed.
Is it?--is it?, the picture is not that clear to me. Is it or is it ain't.

I saved the picture to the "My Pictures" program on my computer and was able to zoom in on the tractor and yes, it does say 4WD.

I have driven one of the Cub compacts. It is a 7254, 25HP, gasoline engine, hydro transmission, etc.

I happed upon a dealer that had 2 of them, but I wasnt too impressed. I dont believe the diesel model is available yet.

What kind of gasoline engine, it might be very competitive if priced right with a gasoline engine. I think Kubota should offer a gasoline version of the BX about 2,000 dollars cheaper. J
