hi, just started researching tractors and have a question about the bx2200.

i plan on using it for building/maintaining a dirtbike track with big jumps. will i put too much wear and tear on the machine by driving it long distances(an acre or more) with a loader bucket full of dirt? will the loader and machine stand up to long days of heavy dirt movement? do you think the bx2200 is too small for building motocross tracks?

thanks for your help!

i should add that this is a personal dirtbike track in a backyard field. time spent building the track isnt much of a factor. ....

Pocketbike, my personal opinion is that you CAN do it, but you probably AIN'T gonna like it.:) I wouldn't worry about hurting the tractor, but with a tractor that small, it's going to take a LOT of time. ....

A 2200 is a pretty small mahine for making a motocross track. I built one with my New Holland TC40D (16la loader)for racing my Banshee on, and it took a considerable amount of time. I don't think you'll have any problem with hurting the tractor unless you are overloading it, but I think you'll be a little dissapointed with how long it will take. A buck full of dirt just doesn't cover as much ground as you would think. I had a huge pile of fill dirt (probably about 3 tandem truck loads) and I went through it in a hurry but didn't have many jumps to show for it. A small woops section and one double.

Good Luck! It may take some time to build, but I think you'll have fun doing it, as well as hours of fun with the result. ....
