I don't own a BX, but they sure look highly useful and cost effective.

They should come that way. Don’t see any advantage to the turnbuckle style. Modified my own pin style sway bars to fit B and M series for not much less. Now just need a gear leveling box.

What is the advantage or disadvantages of the two?

I always buy from my local Kubota dealer. Never Messicks. One, the ship costs are absurd and two I believe in supporting my local dealer, I do buy my tractors from him and have for years.

Even Coleman in KC is cheaper on shipping if you must buy online. I don't.

These are similar to the Mark Hodge bars which I have. They work slick. Mark Hodge's have little chains attached to the clevis pins so you don't lose them, and his clevis pins are the type with the spring-loaded ball on the end rather than having to use cotter pins--a slightly more convenient set-up. Cost for Messick's is about the same, and in my opinion well worth it, and they look to be readily available. I had to wait about three months for my MH bars.

The welds on them look like a birdchit welding job. Looks like a rattle can paint job. Guess we`ll see if they hold up, or not. I think they are to pricey for what your getting.

I`ll wait and see what the chinese knock-off`s go for on fleabay. Likely be of the same quality for less than half the money they want for these.
