New (to me) BX2200

[kbota]

I've been shopping for a mower that will shorten my mowing times. We are now on 4+/- acres, and the JD 42" cut takes way to long. The Grand L with finish mower is hard to maneuver around all the trees and misc yard stuff, plus the big tractor tears up the ground so I can't take it near the front yard.

I'm checking out the ZT's and was getting close to pulling the trigger on a Kubota Z, or possibly a Bad Boy Z. Without boring everyone with details, I ran across a nice fellow who was about to trade in his BX2200 for a new BX.

Sooooo, after looking it over well, we agreed at $3500. I bought it immediately. It has the 60" mmm, 500 hours, and looks brand new. What an awesome mowing machine!

Anyway, I am enjoying reading the forum about others experiences with their BX.

You will love the 2200, it is really a good little tractor and the price was sure right.:thumbsup:

Totally agree.
I'll take your BX2200 in on trade toward my F2680E 60" rear discharge front mower. Have dropped my price to $13999.00.

$3500? That was a great buy. I'm not sure what they normally go for, but it seems like you almost stole it.

I agree with dodgeman. That is a STEAL.
Even a hard used one would get more $ than that. Congrats on the tractor and if you want to sell it for maybe $3700 let me know)

I'll give you $4000 toward my F2680E.

Hey guys I need some advice,
I have a kubota BX2200 and I just replaced the shut off solenoid and the engine switch and I still don't have power on the red wire that goes conected on the solenoid. I traced the wire and it ends under the dash board on a 4 wire terminal. Now my question, should it be a relay of some kind connected on it and if it is what's it called?

Thanks for all the nice comments. The more I play with the bx2200, the more I like it. I decided to go ahead and do a complete fluids service on it, so I went by the Kubota dealer today, and bought oil, air, hydro, and fuel filters. Also bought 2.5 gallons of SUDT2, then over to Walmart for 5 qts of Shell 5w-40 synthetic.

Had to order upper and lower radiator hoses, but they should be in by Thurs. I already had 2 gallons of prestone long life, and distilled water on hand for the coolant change.

So, add another couple hundred to the price.
Sooooooo, what have I missed?
