CHDinCT said:I hear you on the hydraulic angling and convenience of a FEL mounted plow. There really weren't any good options for that when I bought my front plow. BXpanded now offers one and soon Kubota. If I were starting over, I'd probably go with the FEL plow and convert it to hydraulic angling eventually. I actually bought the smaller, 54" maunal angle BX plow used and converted it to hydraulic angling when I had my BX1860.
Since I just added dual rear remotes to my BX25, I will have to take a look at the new Kubota thumb to see what it costs and how easily it can be converted to hydraulic. The welded-on mounting bosses on the dipper stick may be the sticking issue (beyond cost). Also, I already dropped decent coin on a Bro Tek thumb, so I'd have to sell that to recoup some cost. I've looked at making the Bro Tek hydraulic, but it's just not conducive to conversion as far as I can see.
Nice job, looks very professional. I am a woodworker myself, but was always very interested in metal work. I recently bought a welder, and currently in the market for a plasma cutter. Thermal Dynamics makes a decent one, from what I'm told.

Flatlanders! He he!

I took the deck off my BX last week for the second time and it took 57 seconds. I could probably do it faster if I hurried.
Here is a thread with a video and pictures of my flatland.
True..but i think the drive over deck is over pimped...i want to see a normal person do it....aka...shaft not inline etc
Scooby074 said:Yeah I'd like to know how "fussy" the deck alignment is in the real world too... If I would have to do it over flat concrete, then the QC wouldnt be that much of a benefit to me.
Now, if I could do it where the deck was sitting on ground that was out of level a couple inches then that changes everything.
