BX25 Full Cage Rollbar

[Gary Fowler]

Great job. I think it is better than the one on my B26 and completely removable by one person. I think I would need an overhead hoist to get the B26 on off. Get those 4 corner lights on and maybe an extra one looking down at the tiller and you will be ready for night shift.

Yes Gary, Lights...on my "To-Do" list for sure.
Today I disassembled the cage for the last time and
washed it, dryed it, hit it w/ a coat of Self Etching Primer
and the 1st coat of Kubota ROPS Gray just got laid down.

I will flip the hung parts tomorrow, hit all the holidays and
maybe assembly for the last time tuesday/wednesday,
THEN I can move on to some trim and electrical.

I really can't wait for the "icing" ... It is gonna be sumthin'.

Thank you Chris...

The cage is painted, now I just need an AM
to do the install, I hibernate in heat like this.

OK, I should have pics in the AM, I am officially done (less the icing I spoke of)
with the BX25 Full Cage Rollbar. The metal got cleaned, then primered w/ self
etching primer and several coats of ROPS Gray, finished off w/ Cadnium Colored
Serrated Flange Head Bolts and Serrated Flange Head Nuts.

cause that's how I roll...

Pics in the AM

So cool!

Awesome job :thumbsup:

 

[Artisan]

A really sweet benefit of this is egress and degrees from
the seat, the cage is perfect hand holds.

Oops...I forgot I made a new and improved Fire-X Holder.
It sure was nice just opening the box I stowed it in and
just bolting it on, all ready and all !

Nice! Coming from a man who makes the nicest Quick Attach tractor parts,
AND Grapples and Rakes and whom owns the Patent on the "Loader Buddy" +++
a myraid of other implements I take that as a real complement! Thank YOU!

MUCH nicer then mine! Good build. I would say stronger and more well thought out then any manufacturer would do. I agree that they make a great hand hold for getting on and off.

Very reminiscent to the cross brace on the LA402 Loader that was eliminated on the new LA504 Loader.

A very professional looking job Artisan:thumbsup:. I have to ask what's next?

 

[JUBILEE1953]

Loudo, nothing big planned at the moment.
Watch for other threads I start.

Jubillee the canopy is the stock BX25 unit available.
Stock but an option. It's ok...Nothing awesome, sun and rain
off my back. No complaints. I think the number was an 1133 or close.

You did a great job with the project, and it looks like it was professionally manufactured for your tractor! You have a great set up. I also really like the fire extinguisher mount that you put on. I mounted one to my tractor yesterday, but not nearly as nice as you did. Are you going to still install caging around the sides? Anyways, great design, and nice build!

This was my solution, but, again, not nearly as nice as what you made..

 

[Artisan]

Nothing wrong at all w/ your set up Mitch! I like
the ear-muff hanger... I have some plans for the sides
but cash is really tight...the phone stopped ringing...errr
