Loaders for BX2200

[abody71]

Became the owner of a BX2200 w/60 mower this weekend. It was a used unit with 98hrs on it. The big item that is next on the list is a loader. Dealer said that they had used Buhl (sp?) loaders on the BX2200 and they worked well and were built well. I can not find any info on the web about the loader. Anyone know of any info? Also are there any other loaders available for the BX2200?

The LA-211 loader from Kubota is the "standard" loader for the BX-2200. Normal humans can take it off and on, too...in just a couple of minutes. I don't know if third party loaders are as easy to deal with as the Kulbota unit.

Haven't heard of that loader but if you can, check the build quality against the kubota loader and whats the price difference? How long will you keep the tractor, and the resale difference? If its important to you how does it come off? I bought mine as a package and had the up grade valve put in for future front impliments. You might think of the down the road stuff,front blade,snowblower,broom etc. If the other company has the same kind of options for the front end how do they compare? if not, does it matter to you.
Sorry, probably raised more question than I answered, but could be things to think about. Me, I like my orange stuff and the fact I can put the other orange on the front with out a big hassle.

another .02 worth

Tony you bring up some good points. But where I live snow is not a Problem. I would keep the loader on 99% of the time.

Plan on this being my last tractor!

I would go with the kubota loader, why mix and match. the kubota L211 is designed for the bx2200 specifically and the colors will match along with everything else. you may even be able to find a used one online.
