The guy with the Hustler bagger flaked out... I guess he realized he priced it too cheap. No high-tech dump from seat setup for now. I built the baffle for the deck and completed the boot mounting brackets. When it dries up enough I'll put it to work. We have been getting rain after rain here...

Good morning! Took a walk around the pond... it's nice out.

It has been good so far. Decent sized bass and catfish. Can't find a Pic of the catfish we caught but it was about 16" long. They were tiny tiny when we put them in, bought them from the fish truck in a plastic bag!! Attached are a few pics from the end of March.

Thanks! The pup is half Chocolate Lab and half Border Collie, the momma, Miss Princess, is a full blood Border Collie, a very fast Border Collie.

Walker around the pond and made a video last night in case anyone wants to see it now, had to capture my girl singing and the puppy playing too lol

Just in case someone wants to make thier own "bushings" easily for one of the 23BX baggers to fit on a BX25D backhoe mount: 1" schedule 40 rigid PVC ground down slightly works for the top. Same PVC plus 6 layers of duct tape plus a piece of old galvanized trampoline leg works for the bottom...

Yes. I made that pile with my box blade. This scraper won't really cut into hard ground correctly so I used the box blade with rippers extended to cut a ditch and just piled it up.

Digging up an old thread to add some old video I just found and uploaded. Hopefully this helps anyone that is thinking about getting something like this.

I've also noticed the 040 engine isn't all that smooth in mid RPM ranges. Near idle and 80%-full throttle is smooth though.

Yes I agree I found a good deal, especially after running it about 45 hours so far, it's as close to prefect as I could imagine. My only gripes are the ones already mentioned, the thumb and bucket pin issue. I can dig a bunch of dirt in no time, I am so amazed how fast I can do a ton of work...

I found a used Hustler super Z bac-vac for sale. My plan is to convert the hopper for use on the Kubota bagger. I am not sure how much work it'll take but I'll find out soon, I'm going to pick it up this weekend. Luckily the Kubota bag frame comes off easily, no cutting necessary, bolts only. My...

I believe the boot kit that connects to the deck is extra, it is $300+. I have $1,000 for mine, hardly used. Not sure the year model but it was on a BX2660 so I'm guessing early 2010s. I believe they made the 60 series from 2010ish to 2014ish.

Mine has two stands as well, I wasn't real sure where to set them, tried diff positions but ended up just using the jacks. I'll slow down and use a little more patience next time, I was just anxious to try it out!

You've got that right! I have the metal and tools so I plan on just building everything to mount it. I'll take a few pics and share. I also plan on making a video attaching it and removing it. The hydraulic top link would definitely be nice! I used a motorcycle jack and a floor jack in...

Okay that's good news then, this one connects just like the backhoe but you also connect the top link. It was very akward the first time at least, but is very sturdy and is nice and close to the machine so the weight balance feels fine.
