Is there a way to keep the 3 pt hitch in the "up" position when I lower the mower deck on my BX2200.

Thanks

The other way round - yes, usually (i.e. hold mower deck up whilst 3pt hitch goes up and down). Usually just by adjusting mower deck height to maximum. The 3pt, not so much. But a 3pt hitch has no downforce, so in theory you can just tie them up - or tie them to the ROPS or whatever.

Put the deck in the up position, and under the seat, there is a large black knob. Tighen that knob all the way, and it will lock out the 3 point hitch. That is what that knob is for.

If you shut off the 3PH speed control, not only the 3PH, but MMM both stop raising/lowering.

The MMM raises via linkage to the 3PH.

Some BX tractors have hanger on each side, where the side lift links can be pinned in a raised position.
