Re: I\'m just curious....................

The BX 2200 is nothing short of an awesome mowing machine. Mine has 320 hrs. on it and I just got the 1 year owner questionnaire in the mail. I mow 5 acres and it never ceases to amaze me. I find myself trying to get the maximum 60" on every pass. Keep the blades sharp and she will do the job! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: I\'m just curious....................

When i first was looking seriously for a tractor, One dealer I had dropped in on had a brother that lives not far from me, so he dropped of a 7500 for me to try for a day. It was a nice tractor for sure, but when I tried to cut my front ditch (lengthwise, someithing I was able to do with my old Cub) it started to roll, the right rear tire actually started to lift off the ground, I went forward and turned into the ditch and up the other side, so I didn't roll it, but it was enough to make me change my shorts. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Anyhow, I am able to do this easily with the BX, under any conditions unless it is extremely wet, and even then, it just slides sideways, not going to roll over at all. I don't think that the 7500 is appreciably wider, since the brochures show minimum tread width narrower on the 7500 by 3 inches. I know the 7500 will adjust out, but not sure how much more, and with it sitting quite a bit higher, I wouldnt ever try one in my ditch again. Like I said, the extra ground clearance of the 7500 would be an advantage in rough terrain, but it's a definate disadvantage on slopes. The original poster asked why anyone would want the BX over the 7500, and I feel this could be a factor....
