The BX25 Full Cage is winding down, time to look ahead.
I am wanting a Disc Harrow so I went shoppin' and found
a barely used Leinbach B245-20-18 for $400.00 . It still
has paint on the discs, the worst wear is from rain...
It is too big for a BX25, butsomehowever, I look at it and see it
is a fairly simple machine and modifications will not be rocket science,
either drop 4 or 8 discs from the outside of the gains.
The BX25 manual says, under IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS / Disc Harrow =
300 Lbs & 54" wide.
The Leinbach website[/URL] says my new (used) B245-20-18 weighs 575
Lbs w/ a max width of 6'-9" so looks like
I am going to be dropping 8 Discs, 2 from each gain and run 4- 3 Disc gains.
In essence I am making a B245-12-18 .
The weigh, well, I am guessing it will be a tad over 300 Lbs.
That is OK per the IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS of the tractor,
so long as conditions permit (PG 14 NOTE bottom). Looks like a
Tiller or a Box Blade has an allowed weight of 375 LBS
under IMPLEMENT LIMITATIONS so I am sure we will be A-OK.
