Pretty Proud of Myself

AMR · Sep 6, 2005

My BX23 was delivered back in March but I was not able to get into the new house until June, but we had a newborn, so I am FINALLY getting to play with my BX. I have read much about the 60" MMM and grass catcher and was anxious about putting them on. I am the least mechanically inclined person on this website.

This weekend I decided to take off the BH and put on the MMM and then the grass catcher. After reading the instructions about 10 times I started in step by step, before I knew it an hour had gone by and I got the BH off, the MMM on and the grass catcher on and plumbed up and some grass cut! It was that easy, not one hitch.

I did, however, notice that my grass catcher was delivered without the little bungee that attaches the chute to the mower, it does not appears to be necessary.

Regarding cut? I have read a lot about good, medium, and poor quality. It looked just fine to me.

Next it is nearing time to get the blade on the front, I understand that the grille guard needs to come off. My anticipation is that the the blade will mount just as easy.

Photos to follow.

I had to tell someone who might care, my coworkers, and particulary my wife don't seam to appreciate the importance of a good tractor and its attachments.

Also, CCM fertilizer spreader on the way, $275 for the spreader and $138 for the shipping, WOW.

Congratulations on your (sort of) new tractor. Pictures are always good. Your wife will appreciate the tractor more when she sees it can do something that directly benefits her, such as moving some heavy stuff, tilling her garden, fixing her driveway, etc.

Congratulations on your BX! Im sure the BX crew will welcome you /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Know what you mean about wanting to tell someone who might actualy care.
Ive found that despite how interesting something is to you nobody apart from you really gives a monkeys, whether it be that youve just discovered that running youre tyres just 2 psi less doubles your traction, your dog can refuel your tractor, if you fill your cupholder with ice it keeps your beer cooler or that you just dug a hole to Australia to see Vin with your loader most people just dont give a hoot.
Now those people at TBN, atleast they pretend that they care even if they dont. In my experience, either they are really good actors or they do actually care, where would we be without TBN eh?
Cheers Muhammad!

Have fun on your new tool!
Thanks
