This was my first time bush hogging with the BX22. I usally use it on my other tractor a JD 445. The BX22 handled the "Bush Hog" SQ42 with no problem. Horse power doesn't seem to be a problem both the 445 and BX22 are 22 hp. I didn't get into too much heavy stuff only a few 1 1/2 to 2 inch tree clumps. I did handle them well. On my 445 any thing I can push and drive over it will chew up. I have 50 acres in VA and also do bush hogging here in NY as part of my business. I don't abuse my equipment but I do use it! Check with Carver Equipment when your ready to purchase, they are on the web and also located in Dunn, NC. That is where I bought my BX22, couldn't beat the price even with trucking cost! Good Luck!

I was at my local Tractor Supply Store last night geeting a top link pin for my bush hog and ran into a guy looking for a shorter top link fo his BX2200. He had a 30 inch wide scoop he was trying to hook up. He said the top link was too long and couldn't get it to hook up. Any body hear of this problem before? I didn't have this problem with my bush hog. Maybe the scoop is too big for the BX2200?

A brush (bush) hog is really meant for heavy cutting. I have a "Bush Hog" SQ-42 on my JD 445 (haven't tried yet on my BX22)and I mow over anything I can drive over. I take my 54MMM off for heavy use. I've been thru 2 inch diameter trees and over 6 feet high brush with no problem. The mower deck is just that. I did try to cut heavy stuff with the deck, but it chokes up pretty fast. I also have a rear mount "Woods" RM-42 mower. Again that is just a finish mower and it works good. Depending on what you really want to do is what you should buy.
