Still in the Honeymoon phase...
Popped 4 stumps out with the BH last week while the ground was thawed. Wow..I've waited 5 years to be able to do that. Whoever invented hydraulics should be sainted...
I really appreciate everyone who posts their projects and ideas on this forum. Pic#1 below is my version of the BH65 dolly...Really works slick...After working my pins out she rolls around the garage like a dream and I greased everything up liberally.
I did not get a lesson with my dealer when she was dropped off, so I am kind of learning as I go, and NOT everything is explained in the manual. I had a few minutes of dome-scratching when I went to try to install my 3-point and found out there was insufficient clearance to get the 3-point collar onto the hitch shaft because the BH frame was in the way. So...Ref Pic #2. I backed off the "stop bolt" and and lock nut on top of the hitch shaft and worked the shaft from one side to the other installing both 3 point collars. I hope I did that right...but again, I see that nothing regarding this in any of the manuals...
There is one thing I am not completely sure of...Ref Pic# 3...I am unsure as to the routing of the hydraulic line with relation to the 3 point hitch and most particularly the check chain and turnbuckle. There is a drawing of this in the manual whose quality leaves a bit to be desired...but honestly I cannot figure if the turnbuckle should go through the hydraulic line loop or not?...I'm sure if it is not run correctly that you could chew up some lines pretty quickly....I'd very much like to avoid that....
If anyone would perhaps have a picture of their setup?....
Very much appreciated...
