Markham Toothbar on a BX24

[ACHINBAC]

Hangnail,

The tires aren't loaded yet but will be with beet juice if I can find a local distributor. Found a chart that shows I could get close to 90# in each rear & 20+ in the fronts to help offset the canopy & assoc. Have some old free weights laying around which I may also add on this winter.

Richard made the front spacers 1" I believe to minimize the stress Vs the 2" back. I have no need to work the tractor as hard as it was built to handle - and take it slow on the rocky trails around the house. I have a lot of random grades 15 - 20 degrees on the property and feel it's worth the risk. Have not noticed an affect on the turning radius though there may be a slight one. If I was going to beat on the machine I would not have installed the front ones.

Dave,
I just had my rears loaded at the John Deere dealer because I knew a friend of a friend. They added 9 gallons of rim guard and one gallon of a foam sealant to each tire for a total of 10 gallons for our size tires according to their charts. The same chart said that adds 107.5 lbs of weight. I also have wheel weights which makes the total about 150lbs per side. The dealer said he always adds the foam sealant to help if there is a puncture. I had never heard of that mix before.
I also just ordered the front spacers which Richard told me were 1.5 inches wide. So far I really like the stability of the rear spacers and have not had a chance to try it with the loaded tires yet.

Will a 60" mid mount mower fit ?
