BX2200 doesn\'t like the Worksaver 24\" dirt scoop
Spent hours looking for a 24 inch dirt scoop, finally found one after a 40 mile drive thru PA Dutch country - sure is beatiful this time of year, and interesting seeing six horse teams pulling large implements. But back to the scoop - 1-can't get the top link on except by attaching the lowers, and then carefully raising then, attach the top. I guess a top link about 3 or 4 inches shorter would work, I'll try to figure that out tomorrow. 2-can't raise it all the way, the lift arm bottom ends hit the frame of the scoop, and the turnbuckle clevises also bind up against the frame. If the geometry change with a shorter top link doesn't take care of the lift arm interference, then I'll have to find a welder to extend the attachment plate on the scoop. Oh well.
