thanks. I think I'm going to keep it on there and deal with the trees

Did anyone ever remove the ROPS because it gets in the way? I was thinking about it. I mainly use my BX for mowing and my land is flat. The ROPS got in the way and hit a tree the other day..and when mowing I hit a lot of low hanging limbs. I have the FEL but I don't see how I would ever tip...

I have a new BX1870 and I'm waiting on the deck. I have the 48 inch fine cut on order but could probably change it to a 54 inch regular. I've been reading the 54 is better for closer trimming. What are your thoughts?

Well I bought it. here is my new bx1870. has the newer ROPS. they had to order me a 48 inch fine cut deck.

I bought the BX1870 yesterday. I got the new 1870-1 model with newer ROPS. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to post here in the future!

We got alot of snow this year, some 8-12 inches, some only 4 inch storms.

How capable is the BX1870 w/FEL? Can I do some decent grading with the FEL? Will the FEL be good enough for snow or do I need a snowblower attachment or blade?

I'm looking at the BX1870 for my next all purpose machine. I would get a FEL and the MMM of course. But do you think this is overkill for my needs? I currently have a John Deere LX255 and a ariens snow blower, but would like something bigger to do mowing, snow removal, and some landscaping...
