My BX2200 was the same way. Also check to be sure they didn't put the wrong dipstick in the machine from the factory. I heard of this happening a couple times. Also, I assume you changed the filter. ( don't take this the wrong way) If you didn't change the filter then the 4 would be too much.

Not to doubt what you heard but were you hand loading wood into the loader bucket or driving into the pile? Could it have been a log rubbing against the cutting edge?

I wouldn't go much past 200 hours without pulling it out. I did mine at 200 and it was full of shavings and this was AFTER the 50 hour service. You need to get that stuf out of there.

Anyone know a ball park good price for a 2003 John Deere 595x 4x4 diesel. Pretty much a big lawn mower. It has the click hitch in the back, power flow bagger and a 54" deck.<br>
<br>
Hours are a tad over 200.<br>
<br>
Thanks!

The king Kutter stuf is made to fit the little Kubota. That's what I use on my BX2200 and it all works great.

Hi everyone. My BX mower deck is making a grinding noise. Not all the time but enough to drive me crazy. It sounded like the same sound when you bend the side of the deck and it gets hit by a blade. I know the blades aren't hitting the deck anywhere because nothing is bent and there is no shiny metal anywhere.<br>
<br>
It DOES NOT do it all the time only a few click click click click real fast here and there. Definitly sounds like a blade hiting somehting but they really aren't.<br>
<br>
It did this in the past then stopped but it started up again. I did hit a big rock today sucking up leaves but nothing is bent anywhere???<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?

best bet is if you can't drive there to pick it up and pay cash then don't buy it. Some people deserve to get burnt out of $$$$ for being too stupid. Momma always said if it looks too good to be true it probably is unless you drive there and pay cash after you load it in the back of your chevy!

I have cut grass with pretty much any type of machine known to man. I have a 52" scag hydro with a kawasaki that cuts like a monster. I have had Exmarx, bobcat, john deere, wheel horse great dane- you name it.<br>
<br>
I bought a mid mount mower deck for my BX2200 and tried it on my grass that was about 9" high and WET. This thing ripped through it in high range full blown and never even thought of bogging down. The blade spped evn at 2/3 throttle is incredible.<br>
<br>
If you have been on the fence like me to buy a deck for your little 3 cyl diesel go buy one. <br>
<br>
Even with the wet grass I ended up with a nice looking quality cut and my grass is well fertilized and thick.

I bought the deck today. It was from a 2005 BX23 and it fit perfectly. It is like new and I got a great deal on it for 800 bucks. I now won't feel so guilty having an expensive tractor siting in the barn. I can use it to cut the grass. I was missing the front bracket that ataches the the tractor. I was around 30 bucks in parts and I'm ready to go.

Believe it or not the guy had a 2005 BX23 and he sold it and the guy he bought it from didn't want the deck- go figure. I've been looking for a used one for 2 years and finally found it.

Thanks for the info Art!

I got a tank of some lousey fuel at around 50 hrs after replacing the fuel filters and it did the same thing. Before it just ran out of power it would almost die and sputter when you were doing loader work and hit something. The lower filter was loaded with slime. I have since run PowerService in there with every tank and have had no problems.

I wish they had a better fuel filter system on these with a large spin on but I guess there is no room.

My bx2200 won't go into lock unless I am gently driving forward. When it gets stuck I still need to GENTLY press on the forward pedal and it goes in. You do have to press with a little pressure as well but Since it was new itwouldn't go in unless you had a little forward movement or wheel spin BUT SLOW so you don't break anything.

I've run mobil 1 in my bx2200 for 360 hours now. Best oil known to man in my opinion. I run it in EVERYTHING I have that takes oil. So good of an oil- I have a clunker car, 1994 Geo Prism that I run back and forth to work (truck gets 12MPG, GEO 30).

It uses some oil so instead of putting the Wally World 88 cents a quart junk in there. I put the OLD mobil 1 from My Silverado and my wife's xc70 cross country in this little bomb! I change them a 4K and it comes out clean as a whistle. I love the oil so much it's too good to bring to the recycle place! I strain it and put it in the old Geo. Needless to say, the Geo started using a quart a week at 105,000 miles before using USED mobil 1(I ran what ever was on sale in it). It now has 160,000, runs great and only gets a new filter every 2 months and is run on PURE 4,000 Mile Filtered and strained USED Mobil 1 and it's running stong! Don't tell anyone or I will deny it!

I was looking to unload my BX2200 but it's still worth MORE than what I paid for it when I bought it 2 years ago with only 100 hours. I got a great deal on it. The bottom just doesn't fall out on these.

My buddy here in town bought two Mahindra's from my other buddy here in town who is a dealer. He is trying to sell both of them (big one and little one) both have a loader and hoe and he will be lucky to get 1/2 of his $$ back. Reliability and resale are my two deciding factors when I buy something. I truly believe you can buy a B or BX, get everything done you need to and sell it as a 300-500 hour machine and only lose a few bucks. Had you ented a machine for this many hours it would cost double the price of a new one. If you need one go buy it and you can't lose.

It all depends on your slope. If it's a front mounted blower you will knock out all the snow before it gets to your wheels. Chains on the rear always help. If your driveway is pretty flat I'd try it without first and save the expense. If it's a rear mounted blower, sometimes you need to drive in the slop before you can start clearing.

I have a BX2200 and put rear chains on it and it is pretty much a tank in the snow driving right through it to the woodpile.

I usually end up mixing the 2 of them. More of the white in the winter and I throw a splash of the silver in there.

I actually was having problems with a dark slime in my fuel filters. Someone told me on this site a while ago I may have had bad fuel and had some critters living in my fuel system. I chenged the filters and used the silver and the problem is gone with about 70 hours.

There aren't may products I swear by and actually do what they claim but the diference is clear with he way my machines all start with the white powerservice. It works as good as 2 Imodium A-D's after a bad serving of Chinese food!

Has anyone tried to put a 3 point Log splitter on a BX2200?<br>
<br>
I would have to somehow tap into the hydro unit on the machine. Any idea if the little BX puts out enough to run a log splitter? I am even toying with making my own with a 540 PTO rear pump.<br>

Thanks for any info..Jim

After reading all of this it's a wonder why I reload all my hunting ammo. The factory stuff puts you in a tizzy for sure with the different loads and no sure way of knowng how many grains they have unless you disassemble a bullet.

I bought a Winchester 94 in 45 LC and the factory ammo was about as slow as a 1974 Chevy Vega and very unpredictable. I ended up reloading it a little hotter to 44 mag specs.

Even my 375 Holland and Holland Mag shoots different with varried factory stuff (if you can find it) than my reloads.

The good thing about reloading or sticking with one high quality ammo is when you are off paper you know it's you and not the gun or ammo. I got tired of staying up at night mad that my new $800 rifle or handgun had a bent barrel!

I thought any damaging current would go through the ground? I've welded many different machines in my day and never even thought of this. From cars, motorcycles, lawn mowers and even several tractors and never had any issues?

What am I missing. I guess I've been lucky!
