Ron the battery box on a BX25 is 7.125"W x 9"Long x 9"Tall
Width is prob better at 7"
Height can vary some but 9" is where the top starts to radius in, I believe.
Length is 9" hard. I need to pull the battery and see if it can push in more somehow so as to perhaps take a 10" yellow Top Optima.
Heck for alls I know, till I have one in hand a yellowTop may work, just add a floor plate or grind off the lip,
providing the mesh cover clearances. Anyone have a yellow top, umm, D34 D35 Optima? Wait,
a D35 yellow Top Optima will fit and is 620CCA, a D34 is 870CCA but 10' long.
HA! only 30CCA difference from what 'my" winch calls for minimum CCA's on the D35.
I bet it would work for ocassional use...
The OE battery is 540CCA, and about 8" long, there IS room for a bigger (longer) battery I believe.
Need to make sure the mesh cover does not intrude into that space.
A 9000# winch demands 650CCA minimum battery. A guy could buy a winch that needs 540CCA or less and
perhaps call it good. (well, not have an under-rated battery)
There are a LOT of 650+ CCA batteries but they are usually 10" long plus.
Who has a lot of time today to research out a 650CCA+ battery that is 7Wx9"x9"
I read a "traction battery" is best for a winch...???
If a guy added a front and rear 2" receiver hitch to his BX25 a guy could EASILY make
a bullet-proof, raming speed battery-box holder and get more battery, plus ballast .
Must find matching awesome BX25 front and rear receivers I like!
If a guy never pulls off his BH, I think there is a ton of room inside it, under your feet for a battery and
then a winch out the front .
W/O a backhoe, w/ the 2" Receiver Battery Box trick, a guy could mount the battery up front or rear
and same for the winch as he pleases. Perhaps a QD electrical cable (Anderson connectors) and
hook up as needed.
With all the time I have on my hands, I think this is doable...
Ron you could easily add a 2" receiver hitch to the rear of your BX25 and simply plug in
a winch, on and off as needed. It is way low, it is soild and you can use that steel for
something else, like a "multiple" log holder/ bulkhead.
