Appreciate the ideas. I only need to extend out 4'-6' from the bucket. I can use two holes already in the bucket side panels and just add two more to bolt on some angle. The pushing end only needs to be 12" - 18" tall and 36" wide and could even be 3/4" ply. So I think I'm on my way with...
Most of the implements mentioned in this thread are really for 'tillage' which I don't do with a tractor hence why I didn't know they existed (our garden is all in planter boxes). What fits my project description better is a single tine 'ripper' that fits my cat 1 3-point hitch. I see I missed...
All good ideas. I downloaded the Bush Hog catalog and it says 35 hp per tine up to 85. Not sure why the requirement. The BX is too small (23 hp) for every model even the smallest. If it fits your hitch use it (within reason) I say. Not enough power just means it won't move - so cut more...
Tooth - freeing an object from the grip of the soil. What is subsoiler?
Looking that up now. That might be what I am looking for - a single tine implement for the 3-point hitch. This will be better than the multi-tine box blade but effectiveness still limited by weight. So one of these with...
The smaller BXs just don't have the weight / hydraulic down force in any 3-point hitch mounted implement I know of to dig out rocks / stumps / buried pipe / etc. My property is very rocky and box blade tines do very little (I didn't spend the money for a BX backhoe version for this reason -...
Don't know what else to call it. We are dumping our non-burnable plant compost from the garden / yard down a small hill in the back every year. This amounts to a land fill (yes we have other compost - this is getting rid of the excess).
The problem is this piles up and pushing the latest...
Yeah that is what I thought - I see front tie rod boots have to be replaced however and that is not on the service interval chart <shaking head>.
Tnx guys
_Not_ hydraulic hoses. i am getting ready for my 200 hour service and I see half a dozen different hoses from radiator to fuel line to power steering line to various air hoses / lines should all be replaced at 2 year intervals (I am at 6 years). Ok you say SIX years. but none of these hoses...
The first shot at this is a Landscape Rake: LandPride or ETS run $600 - $800 even for the 48" width I will be limited to. I am willing to spend the money but wonder if that is the best approach or overkill. There are two jobs: one is raking then moving to a burn / mulch pile the other is...
My fairly new 2 year old BX2370 is finally getting kicked out of the garage. Even though I am not next to the ocean and have mild winters (6" snow rarely ~2000 ft in the Sierras) I am concerned about bare hydraulic rods and ball joints etc getting rusty. i know tractors tolerate this. i see...
Being property owners we all have these - piles of stuff be it rocks or pipe or whatever. Whoever put it there at some point we may want to clean it up. I don't want to do this by hand at my age with a pick and bar. The BX is pretty small though and experience with gravity weight alone on the...
Its a axiom of tractor ownership that whatever you think is big enough is too small. The BX bucket is like this - its only 3-4 wheelbarrows. Moving something light like leaves one bucket at a time is just not tolerable if you have many leaves. So I made this very simple plywood bucket...
This is embarrassing. I have had these lines and the loader on and off many many times. Not one of the four lines will snap into place. The collar will not slide down over the balls to lock the snap connector into place. This has never been a problem and everything usually just snaps right...
How do you do it? Nothing in the manual. I see how to take the cover plate off that the side to side adjusters attach to. But that just uncovers the pin the two lower arms pivot on. And it seems that axle / pin is trapped between the frame on each side. Am I missing something?
Thanks in...
My first 50 hour maintenance is due on my 2015 BX2370. The owner's manual says engine oil, oil filter, and transmission filter. Easy enough. The manual also says to check fluids after the filter change and top off if needed. Makes since.
I go to the dealer to get my fluids and filters and...
