    mulch kit for BX

    My new BX2380 was just delivered this past weekend. (Attached. Isn't it pretty?) I ordered a mulch kit with it but it wasn't in yet, so I have to take the mower deck back to the dealer to have them install it in a couple days. My question is, has anyone ever used the mulch kit on a BX? I...

    Used bx1860 vs new bx1870

    Just a quick update. I just left the dealership after signing for a BX2380. I'm a long way off from where I started this process in that I added an FEL. That wasn't something I was planning on getting originally. But it was hard to pass up the 1000 implement discount for 2. I know the FEL...

    Good point. I should clarify... I won't need to finance the bx1860. The finance advantage to new is simply the ability to defer the pay off at no penalty. In either case, it's roughly a 4k difference. So the question remains, is the newer model worth that difference?

    Used bx1860 vs new bx1870

    Hey everyone. First post here. My wife and I just moved into a new house with a little bit of land and have determined that a sub-compact is the best choice. I found a used 2011 BX1860 with 54" mower deck for about $8500 out the door. It only has 40 hours on it which, in my understanding, is...
