I had the same problem with grass, gravel rocks ect. Got tired of replacing shear bolts and blowing rocks. Finally paved all the area that I snow blow !! No more problems👍

I bought a bx1880 last year to replace my gr2120 and bought the commercial 48” HD snowblower for it as I was tired of replacing chain and sprockets on the old snowblower ! The new Hd model blower is much better built, stronger runs very quite is so much better than the standard blower cost more...

The photo posted of the GR series tractor with chains Was my old tractor that I had for 8 yrs . Never had any mechanical issues at all. Would not operate in the winter without them ! Hard to steer with out them and have a very steep hill to climb that I would not be able to climb without chains...

Thank you for your interest, but I only make things for myself or as a favor to good friends. I enjoy time in my shop and don’t want to make it into a job 😀

i was inspired by the design posted here so I made my one for my BX 1800

I have found as I get older lifting heavy objects up on the milling table difficult so this is my solution . I made a overhead trolly that swivels with an electric hoist that way you can lift any object not just a vice. I also have a cabinet right across from the mill to store all my milling...

Thanks I really enjoyed building my cab, many hrs and lots of money went into the build. To old to do it again☹️ The curtis cab I purchased for my BX 1880 was $3500 not much more than the cost to build my own. The cost of materials to build is not cheap but labor was free😀 attached a photo of...

Here is a photo of the cab I made for my GR series tractor 7 yrs ago. No one made a steel cab for the GR Series at that time
