BX22 - Awesome digging power

I have a BX2200 and a 48" Gearmore rough cutter ("bushhog"). I can cut thick brush and weeds 8' (yes FEET) tall without the engine dropping a single rpm. You could race the thing through your pasture at full throttle. I have a homemade dolly for the rough cutter. It goes on or off in <5 min. For the lawn, the Kubota 60" mid-mount deck goes on/off almost as quickly.

Though the 2200 doesn't take the backhoe, it will take the light auger made by Northern Tool & Eqpt. You're looking at a few hundred $ rather than a few thousand for something to dig vertical holes, though the auger won't dent hardpan. It can also be a bear to attach/dis-attach. I have a chain hoist on a rolling heavy pipe in my garage trusses. I use this to hoist the auger off then pivot, roll 2' to the wall and bolt/lock it to the wall.

BX22 or B7500 help choose

I bought that model from Northern and use it on my BX2200. It makes a 5' hole in 5 seconds in soft dirt, longer for dryer/harder soil. With no hydraulic down pressure, it won't even put a dent in hardpan (this hardpan is close to the properties of concrete). A friend with a carbide tipped auger on a Bobcat can down pressure and cut the 2 ft.hardpan layer in about 15 seconds, but don't dream of drilling in hard stuff with the Northern model.

Consider whether you'll be cutting on flat ground or on a slope. As a subcompact, the BX has a wider wheelbase and sits lower than most comparable models. The lower center of gravity makes it handle inclined turns that would roll other tractors.
