I'm very seriously considering getting a BX22 as well. Heres my only concern. How good of a mower is it? I want to replace my Cub Cadet 2186 which leaves a real nice finish, do you think I'll be happy with the MMM for the BX22?
Thanks
I do believe that the BX22 has the same MMM as the BX2200. If so, the cut of the MMM on the 'Bota is every bit as good as it was with my old Cub Cadet 2206, from every aspect. I have the self-levelling 60" deck. Can't vouch for the smaller 54" deck, since it doesn't have that feature.
The BX22 does use the same mower as the BX1800/2200. I have the 54" deck on my BX2200 and am very pleased with the cut - it does at least as good as the push mower it replaced! the 54" doesn't have the self leveling deck, but as I am using it for a "manicured" lawn, there are not the bumps and rolls to worry about anyhow.
I have the 60" on the BX2200. It's a great lawn cut and I had reservations about it when buying because I also have a Simplicity 7119 that I have used to mow the lawn for many years and you cannot beat the Simplicity floating (deep) deck cut.
The Bota deck does not float but suspends from the tractor and it has scalping wheels as opposed to caster wheels that drag on the lawn for some of the bigger tractors or other tractor models.
The only thing I don't like is on one of my hills, if I mow up and down it scalps at the top crest and leaves longer grass at the bottom. But that's just a learning curve of mowing with a new tractor....
So, how does the 60" cut? On a scale of 10... 10+
And the Tractor has a cup holder..... Yippee Skippee....
