My parents are looking to buy a BX2200 primarily for finish mowing a "yard" at their farm, but also for some light loader work. They are very interested in the PTO-driven grass catcher for the BX2200. Anybody out there have any first-hand experience with this system? How well does it work? Any drawbacks? Do you definitely need front weights if the loader is off the tractor? I ask that last one because the collection system weight is listed at 220 pounds and on a level yard I'm not convinced that front weights are necessary, but I would like to hear from actual users.

I would appreciate an update from any of the Power Trac users on the board regarding their experience, likes and dislikes. I am interested primarily in the 1400 series, but I suspect experience with the 400s and 1800s would also show the general quality and capability of the machines.

Is there an after market product that would duplicate the Boomer links on the Kubota? Will Kubota offer this option soon?

My local JD dealer has priced the JD tiller for $1800. That is buying the whole setup. I am looking at the 445 and the 455, what is your opinion of the 455 ?

Roger,
In visualing the front end coming over on a tractor while plowing remeber that the majority of large plows(4 bottomor more) are what is called semi-mount. Meaning they are only attached to the lower links and the tail of the plow is lifted by a trailing wheel. There is no upper link, making it easy to lift the front of the tractor.

I would agree with both of you normally, except that my best friend is the service manager and he has been looking for a tractor for me , but he does't set the prices, that is why I'm even considering it at all. the problem with the front end does conern me though, it was in for it before they said the guy who had it was over loading it and he traded it in for a bigger tractor and if fixed right , used right, will it stay right, or if's just a lemon.
thanks for your advice, its probably the smart thing to do!

I just found that Chevron just released anew tractor fluid called Synthetic all weather HTF that lists it as replacing Super UDT. It is a stretch to call it synthetic as it uses Group lll base oils like Castrol Syntech. These base oils are better than the oils normally used but still not as good as pure synthetics. Pardon the runon but at least we have a viable choice. Havent found the price yet. The Super UDT isnt synthetic either according to the label on my 5 gallon can. Just a little info for those in need.

Thanks for all the views and insights. I spoke with my closest local NH dealer and he confirmed that they would not do warranty work on tractors purchased at another dealership. We have a few other dealers nearby, but he is the closest. The complaint was about getting reimbursed enough per hour for the warranty work. Evidently according to him, NH is on the low side, so my local NH dealership, as a policy, do not accept warranty work from NH tractors purchased elsewhere. Because of the information on this discussion board, I was able to get him to give me a better deal ;^) and will most likely purchase from him. Thanks again for all assistance in this matter.

Roger: What you describe is pretty much the Kelley mount. There's a plate that bolts through and also is u-bolted to the drawbar. Two top-links used as stabilizing arms run from the plate to each side of the top-link mount on the hoe. Adjustment of the links distributes the load between the drawbar and 3ph mounts. The links also serve to lock the 3ph down. However, the plate must be mounted within 1" of the drawbar support, which can require drilling a hole. I also have a sliding drawbar, and I met the 1" requirement by removing the drawbar top-plate and using the front hole. I've also wondered about what the drawbar mount is connected to. I’d guess that downward loads are taken by the drawbar support, which is pretty far back. Upward loads would be distributed between the rear of the cases and the drawbar mounting point, which is further forward. Most of the load probably still is absorbed fairly far back on the cases. Even so, the mount seems to distribute load better than a pure 3ph mount. At any rate, I don't experience my hoe bouncing around like is sometimes described. Somebody on another board did mention awhile back that he bent a Kelley mounting plate, but the company replaced it with a redesigned model. He also mentioned the 3ph raising up while using the hoe. It sounded like he didn’t have the stabilizing links adjusted quite right. I check the adjustment on mine every hour of use. Your idea of using the ROPS mounts for additional bracing sounds interesting.

Bo-man Yup with a "YARD" you'll get some scalping and some trenching (where the side of the mower drops in a low spot) with the big decks. A 3 section 48" batwing would be the cats-meow. BUT very pricey. Very few people can tell those little dings as they drive by anyway. I was on my JD112 with a 48" deck over 6 hours a mowing still had to trim. My JD4400 with 72" I am 1.5 hours plus a couple of hours to trim it all. I only trim sections every other week or 2. You could get 4 21" mowers hooked as a gang set, up start them all and have at it. Get the big deck and with your bucket flatten out the humps and fill in the valleys as you feel like it.

Morning Jeff That the trouble with something new. It gotta get its first ding or dent in it somehow. I'd try laying the curled up part on the anvil and wail the back of it with a BFH (big fine hammer). I just replaced my 7 year old set on my 72" 3PH Landpride. Lots of rock, sticks and who knows what else been thru them. One was bent from the middle 3/8 of an inch. I could not tell the difference in the cut. I also do not sharpen them much, just enought to take out the nicks and dings. I never put much of an edge on them. I have waaaaay to much mowing to do each weekend so I am not very picky. I never get all those dandy-lions they just seem to pop right back up. My standard is green and flat. By what evermeans. Harvey

Mark, that is a very unique rig, and looks nice as well. Thanks for sending all of those pictures. I wonder if it is an unusual concept for a major part of the subframe to stay with the hoe? I would like to see a comparison of the various ways to support a backhoe. Might learn a little and it would be fun to see.

Larry, I also have a B 2710 with a 6' Curtis plow up front. With chains there seemed to enough traction and power so this year I widened the plow to 8' and it did just fine. Good luck JT

Bee, looks to be a very good price. In July 98' I sold a 1988 755 with 800 hrs. #52 loader, belly mower and 4' bush hog for $11,200. My (Unprofessional)gess-ta-mit of the used prices for all would be about 18,600. Looks good, happy tractoring. David
