I have run into a situation that some of you may want to think about. I just installed my rear 2" reciever hitch on the BX2200 and it works great except for one thing. The hitch goes down with the mower and hits the ground on inclines digging up my yard. ( Hey I made a plow, now lets see single bottom plow hooked into the reciever hitch gotta put some thought into this for the future) Well I plan to be using my rear weight / storage box soon and don't want it hitting the ground either. So why not use a set of check chains on the rear?? This would keep the hitch/storage box off the ground and safe. I see there are two welded hook areas on the back of the BX I guess thats where the backhoe hooks into the frame. I may use these or just use the top link for hookup. No matter what we use it will keep the hitch/ box from catching on something and possibly damaging our tractors. This is not a problem when using the loader because we can adjust the hyd. lift to keep the back up but could cause a problem with the mower. Better to be safe then sorry. Just my 2 cents. Bigguy
