BX2360,

I had the opposite problem, couldn't keep the mower at the top position, but I think the solution may be the same. Try to adjust the mower linkage up. You probably have too much weight on the mechanism. The linkage is on the left side behind/beneath the fender. It has a hex head (11/16") and a hex locknut. Loosen the locknut and adjust the linkage up to loosen the mower so you can turn the height adjustment and lower the mower. This is in your mower manual on page 14.

Here's the thread where I got the info, much thanks to oldnslo.

Be sure the lift is al the way up. Watch the arms in the back until they do not rise anymore. Then try the adjustment knob again.

This may be the blind leading the blind, as I only have 70 hrs or so on my BX2360' but I "fixed" this problem by rocking it up and down with leaver a few times and it has alway popped into position. Now that I read these, I will go and make the adjustment so that I do not have the problem. Thanks all.

Made sure lift was all the way up wala could move knob .Seems to be working fine now but will have to fine tune once yard dries out enough to try out .YOU Guys are AWESOME Thanks!!!!!!!

The lift MUST be all the way up (both mower and 3 pt) before you can make height adjustments--and then, you must turn the knob to the right only. Once you get used to it, it's duck soup.

My wife never cared a hoot for any of my tractors, but once she tried out the BX she really liked it. She even operates the FEL occasionally and likes that too.

And speaking of FEL's, I echo what the others have said about it. If I hadn't wanted the FEL, I never would have spent the money for a Kubota, but the loader is the neatest thing I've ever had. I have it on good authority that Sandy Klaws is bringing me a set of BXpanded forks for Christmas, too.

My 1860 w/54" MMM just squeaks onto my 5' wide trailer with the plastic chute up. I think you'll be fine.

George the Beagle,

You have confirmed what I was thinking. I have a BX2360 with 60" MMM and haven't bought a trailer yet. Looks like I'm looking at a 6' wide trailer. My wife was unsure, said I could transport it with the mower detached. I told her that was impractical.

Did I say that your beagle is absolutely handsome. Gonna get another one some day.
