Hi folks, 1st post, been lurking a while.

Couple of BX23 ?'s

A. The book shows the 3PH right hand Lift Rod End (attachment to the hydraulic lift arm)at an awfully strange angle, something like

as though the illustator had never actuall tried to put them on. Looks to me like

makes more sense. Anyone else notice, know why, am I wrong? (Spaces don't come out right, but you get the idea.)

B. The BX came with a thick metal 'T' that might be a hitch hole extender. It seems to be sized to pick up 2 of the hitch bolts, then with the existing hole, use all three for mounting, and extend the base of the T (with another new hole) out about 6 more inches to the rear. It is not listed as an accessory in the literature. Any suggestions as to purpose - would one ever need to extend the hitch hole out to the rear more?

C. And last - what I believe is called a simple Drag Chain Harrow (without any lift pole, no 3PH, no frame, just a hitch bolt, a chain, a drag pole, and 300 lbs of chains and points).... how the heck do you move it around? I understand using it, but between fields, or over driveways, or whatever - how would you keep it from working (unintentionally) without completely taking it off, rolling it over upside down, going wherever, and repeating the process?

Welcome

A:
If its the dwg on page 39 and41 the right side link the end rod in the top of the turnbuckle is 180 deg out of phase.

I didn't even notice it till you pointed it out but I don't think it will fit the other way any way.

B: picture's please!

C: roll it up and carry it. some rigg a gin pole to lift it off the ground

Tom - it's like you read my mind (esp. since my diagram wasn't quite right - book in one room, comp. in another!)

But, yes, it was those pics - I had to try it their way first - a number of times.

I will practice on pics soon.

Will search on 'gin pole' but still, sounds like a lot work to cross a driveway, for instance.

Later, thanks all

That looks exactly like the type/brand I have.
I'll figure out the geometry to make that work.
Thanks.

I think it is based on a tsc carry all to connect to the three point.

About got the chain carry figured out...

Here are pics of previous problems (as attachments?) ...
(DSC is hitch piece, scan is manual page)

So - is hitch peice standard, homemade, seen before (the 'T' butt joint area is only welded one side)? Seem to pick up 3 bolts in 'frame.'
Manual page shows extreme angle at right hand lift?

Thanks all

The angles in the pictures on the left are correct. They assume a (somewhat) neutral position when the lower arms are spread wide enough for an implement. The adjustable link on the right is mounted backwards in the picture..
