Hi Folks - I am finding myself in the same boat - BX2200 vs JD2210? At this point the decision point is falling to the Bagger - for which JD doesn't have one at the momment. I plan on getting the 54" deck (trees to mow around), 47 or 50' snow blower, FEL, etc. I hate to spend $15,000 "hope" that JD comes out with the bagger, so unless someone can confirm JD is coming out with one and when, I'll be forced to go with the Kubota. I've leaned in the JD direction after I drove them both.... I like the pedals, the bucket joystick location, and the overall slight size advantage of the 2210. If anyone can comment on the JD bagger availability, i'd appreciate it (and i am not interested in a 3rd party tow behind solution, i have had great experience with the power-flow technology).
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I think that would work great for seasonal use during leaf cleanup - however I'm thinking of something along the lines of a bagger similiar to the Kubota Implement that fits the Bx2200 series, where backing up during weelky mowing wouldn't be effected (especially in my case where I have many trees...). I do appreciate your info, I have learned a lot about the collection systems that are on the market today!

For those of you who haven't seen my recent posts - I'm still in the process of deciding on the BX2200, B7500, and JD2210, but I do have a specific question related to the BX2200. Has anyone used the 42 or 48" Box Scraper, how do they work on the BX, and how much should I expect to pay for the 42 or 48" unit? <br>

Thanks

Thanks for the info Willie, point well taken. I had read that in the spec sheet, and am considering that a "nice to have". I've seen a lot of people basically saying that the BX2200 is an a garden tractor on steroids, with the low ground clearence being one of it's downfalls. The 2200 may in fact fit my needs 100% (today), but I'd be pretty upset 2 years down the road if I end up with a task too big for it. If anyone has some good info on how well the 7500 mows, bags, and can comment on it's manuverability, I may lean more in that direction. The 60 inch snowblower on the B7500 will also help lean that way....
