Mowing BX24 Mower Deck

[bx24]

Would this mower deck fit my BX24?

RCK54-15BX

Don't know that but my neighbor has a BX2350 (same series as the BX24) and he wants a F3080 in the worst way. He told me a few weeks ago that he's going to keep his BX2350 and trade his RTV900 to Barlows for the F3080 this fall. If he does he won't need his deck.
Do you want me to ask him about selling his deck and a price?

that deck is for the BX1500 tractor. seem to recall someone saying it would need to be modified to work with a newer BX.

Sure ... I saw the deck that I was asking about on Craigslist locally but the more info the better

Thanks

I currently don't use the BX for cutting grass (other than the occasional bush hogging). The reason I was thinking about this was because my gas mower (25hp with 50" deck) sometimes has issues. I don't plan to use the Kubota for tons of grass work, but as a backup it is cheaper than other less robust options. Do you have any experience with these shaft drive decks? I would think it would perform pretty well ....

Having the correct deck for the BX is a excellent mowing machine. I love using mine for mowing. The kubota MMM shaft driven decks is extremely heavy duty.

According to my mower deck manual, the proper deck for the BX24 is the "RCK54-23BX".

BX24... I understand that the issue with this deck is not the drive mechanics, rather the deck mounting/hanging mechanism that is different. I personally have not seen these differences... I have a BX24 also.
If you can get the deck for cheap, maybe you can modify it ??? worth a try if you can weld.

Re-positioning mounting tabs etc is within my abilities. There is one available locally new (has been sitting in a barn) and the guy is willing to take $600 for it. Everything I have read puts a deck in the $1500+ range so I think this would be a pretty good deal.

I suspect the $1500 range is for used... if you can get new...
well, if it was me, it'd be a done deal.
you might want to find a proper BX24 deck & take some pics, with a tape measure for perspective. I could probably help there... my deck is currently off.
