Johnny D got a little work out today

[Chris2520]

Well Johnny D got about a 5 or 600 pound workout today.
after my bucket hook project some of you ask what was i going to do for a center hook. as not to pull on just one loader arm. Well a 3/8 chain ran from one hook to the other and i hooked a chain in the center. worked perfect.
My new BB2060 5 foot box blade came in today. Johnny through it around like it was nothing. But My poor S-10 did not like it at all. when it was in the bed. his butt was on the ground.. That thing is heavy. once on the ground. i am a pretty big dude. and i could hardly buge it. as always. a few pics of the days event...

What kind of bushing do i need to hook the box blade to the I-Match.
the bushings i bought 2 sets . and there like go on the balist box. that fit on pins sticking out. the box blade wont use the big bushing it wont fit. i need some kind of sleeve to go over the pin. now i cant use it, unless i dont use i-match. i ant doing that , that thing is to heavy to move.
So what do i need to make it work with I-Match.

Can't help you on the I Match. But you do have a nice looking rig there. Any reason why the ROPS is down??

Thanks murph. The rops were down cause i was takeing the box blade into the garage. and the tractor wont fit through the garage door , if the rops are up...

if i was working thay would be up..

I would ask the dealer to supply the correct bushings--it was the same dealer who sold the tractor and iMatch, right? They should have known what you had and delivered it with the correct bushings. If not--TSC has everything you need. Just take out the pin, take it with you and the correct size bushings to fit inside the "slots" on the BB.

 

[Chris2520]

is it the same bushing that is suppose to come with the i-match cause i did not get any. there going to give them to me this week. i know the i match comes with one set. i bought 2 sets of the big ones that go like on the balist box.

 

[B8FISH]

nope--it is more like the "inner" part of the one that comes with the iMatch. It looks like you only need the shorter section--not the big "nub" end. Clear as mud?

Nice looking rig, but why/who routed the hydraulic hoses below the right step and sticking out right in front of rear tire like that? You may want to rethink that set up.

It was that way when i got it. i think i am going to reroute them.
I never liked that way. did not look right to me.

What kind of projects do you have planned for your tractor now that you have your equipment? Be sure to post pics
