I bought a BX23 last year specifically to use the MMM. My two acre yard was too large and steep to safely use a regular mower. The tractor also included a FEL and BH. I figured at 22hp it should be able to climb my sloped back yard easily. However I found it had difficulty after operating it for about and hour. When I climbed the slope and reached the crown, the tractor would actually stop and chatter. Not too safe at all as I usually had to back down the hill again. I changed all of the fluids and filters using SUDT in the HST. However, after an hour or so thte tractor will not climb the slope in my back yard. My smaller mower would climb them easier but hte danger of upending was high. I removed the FEL & BH and it still has issues climbing the yard. Is this a case of needing a bigger tractor? I am not a small fellow at 300+ pounds. My wife has agreed on trading this tractor in and buying larger if it will prevent me from being rolled over! :laughing:
I would appreciate any thoughts...
