New BX2360 delivered yesterday!

[vhensler]

After a couple months now of research and driving tractors I decided on a new BX2360 and it was delivered yesterday! It's a tank, I am very impressed so far! The dealership I bought from was awesome, and their delivery guy went over everything with me. It mowed like a champ and I've played with the loader a bit scooping some stuff up. I got the RTR0550 tiller as well, that'll be the next thing I test out here in the next week or two. And I'll be excited once the snow flies again, hopefully I'll get to move some with it. And here is the obligatory picture!



This forum was very helpful during my decisions and I know it'll be a good resource while owning it!

Congratulations, we have a BX2660 set up pretty much the same with the same tiller, they are great little tractors.:thumbsup:

Will you be able to push snow with those lawn tyres ?

Looking good! Don't forget you'll need some weight on the back to safely use the FEL. Ballast box or suitable heavy TPH attachment.

I have found the turf tires on my BX to be fine for use in plain snow. That said, no tire tread design is going to be effective on ice. A set of good tire chains at all four corners solves that.

Congrats, that's a beautiful tractor, they look especially nice all shiny and new!

You will be very happy with your purchase - I bought a BX2360 myself last year and I have to say, what a great machine. As for snow removal, I'd like to offer you some advice. In order to justify the purchase, my tractor had to be an all season machine, so I did quite a bit of research ahead of time trying to figure out if it could handle the snow (I live in western NY and we get a lot of it), and I found all sorts of opinions out there. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford a snow blower attachment, so I went with a rear blade instead for about 400bucks. Last winter I only had to plow a few times (weird winter, we got hardly any snow here), but here's what I found: the FEL is ok for clean up work especially if you back blade with it, but don't plan on plowing an entire driveway with it, it's pretty inefficient for snow removal. The rear blade actually worked pretty good plowing in reverse, good enough that I'll give it a shot for my primary snow implement this coming winter. But bottom line, if you have a large driveway a snowblower attachment, either front or rear, would be your best option if you can afford it. If not, if you plan on relying on your BX to remove snow, investing in a rear blade is your next best option, and it will also provide some rear ballast. And by the way, I have the turf style lawn tires, and had no problem in the snow. Just be sure to check your front axle fluid several times after using the 4x4, if you've done your research you probably already know it tends to come underfilled from the dealer. Good luck and enjoy your purchase!

Very nice looking tractor,I like my BX2360.Don't forget to check the fluid levels,especially the front axle.Just curious why there is no grill guard,I thought it came standard with the loader.Enjoy your new machine.
