....... my BX for mowing only, I have been considering dispatching with the ROPS. Thoughts? ...
Have you got rear wheel spacers ? Although my BX2360 is able to keep
all 4 feet on the lawn (where mowers I've used lift a front tyre ) I
wouldn't remove the ROP , since I couldn't clear the tree branches even
with a ride-on mower. The ride-ons NEEDED ROPS . They both nearly
rolled ( JD345 & T2380 ) and couldn't maintain traction on much of a
slope. If you have to remove the ROP , then get spacers and air the
rears down to 12lb for stability on grass. I'm installing JD 1" spacers
on the 26:12:12 rears . These are made for JD snow chain fitment
on X series , but fit BX too. If you're running 60" MMM , then many
makes of 2" spacers are available , as you are probably aware.
