The tongue is bolted on not welded

That is how a lot of pull behind BBs are made.

So you dont use it any more? Mine gets heavy use

I used it once. On the other hand, I've never taken my Piranha bar off my bucket since I put it on.

The RR just wasn't very useful for the one thing it was supposed to do well. One bushhog job paid for it, so no big loss.

They are about the same except for the teeth on the bottom. I changed the straps out to chains and binders. I kept busting the ratchets on the straps

Randy - listen to what /pine says - he is 100% correct. I finally got a hydraulic top link and it has made a world of difference.

Remember before you give up on trying to do perfect grading with that new tractor and box blade - consider a hydraulic top link.

You will be kicking yourself if you don't get it along with the box blade.

I just picked up a used BB for my little BX. Haven't had a chance to mount it yet but am wondering if there is an aftermarket hydraulic top link kit available?
