Re: BX2200 (Or all HST) WEAK POINT

I must not have read the owners manual before. With those big fat original equipment tires, it is OK to float across ponds, and the extra fan on the driveshaft is supposed to act like a propeller (although I'd want to buy one of those big PTO driven ones for serious fishing). The drawback of course is with the PTO prop, you can't use the PTO driven attachment to remove pond grass.

Re: BX2200 (Or all HST) WEAK POINT

Both the BX1800 and 2000 have the fan, my BX1800 has one, I think it is for extra cooling for the HST? I have a Ariens GT 17 garden tractor that has a fan in the same place as the BX, and yep the engine is in backwards. I think I like the backwards engine idea because the radiator doesn't pickup the trash like my neighbors B2710 does.

Bruce, I also live in upstate New York near Syracuse. Have you purchased your BX2200? I have a BX2200 with 54" deck, loader and snowblower with 45 hours. I am thinking about selling and purchasing a larger tractor. If you have any interest you can call me at 315.685.4303. I can make you a great deal.

Jon;

You have a post dated 10/29/00 re: possibly selling a BX2200 with mower/FEL/snowblower.

I see from your telephone number that you live around the Skaneateles are; I live in Dewitt.

I've been looking at tractors and seem to be settling on the Kubota's, with the BX2200 being
the most affordable and seemingly able to handle what I need.

Is the mower a mid-mount? Is the snowblower a 2 stage front mount? Has it worked well for you
in the snow?

What is your asking price?

I'm in the process of moving to a new house - over 7 acres (about 5 of that rough lawn) and a 300'
gravel driveway; would probably not move until January, which is about when I'm looking to purchase
the Kubota (or may just have the driveway plowed this winter and wait until spring to purchase).

Thanks in advance.
