Put the angle iron on, and the expanded metal grating, and load the tires to add some weight down low, and you should be good.

Live in the middle of logging country have friends that have been on Modern Marvels and the girl that used to live down the road was on AXMEN. So I know how the woods are.
The BX is good for doing cleanup and other tasks, but when it comes down to the heavy or risky stuff the BX2230 gets put away and the L3130GST with the grapple bucket comes out for the work as the BX does not have enough clearance or tire height for brush work as it gets high centered too easy.
Replaced a friends hydro fan on their BX2350 two weeks ago in around 5 hours start to finish and told them again to keep it out of the brush and to leave the mower deck on or nget the skid plate, otherwise they should buy a B series for that work.
The BX is a lot in a small package but the things that make it compact also handicap it in the brush because of the exposed componets.
If I am doing serious brush hogging I will use the old MF35 as there is no wiring underneath like the Kubota has. Forestry kits and cabs for most equipment around here is almost bullet proof grade for a reason as the brush will find every weakness and use it against you and rip things out or destroy them. The terrain is steeper and the logs are larger then many areas in the country and you would be very supprised what trees can do if not handled properly.
