The line features five models with horsepower ranging from 19.3 to 23.9 gross horsepower, alongside LA355 and LA405 loaders with lift capacities of 721 and 904 pounds respectively. These units support 54-inch or 60-inch mower decks and three trim levels.
The players

The details
The new BX90 series integrates a Swift-Mount auto coupling driveline that allows operators to connect the mower deck by simply driving over it, replacing more complex manual alignment processes.
