    Clamp on pallet forks

    I have a set for my BX1870. I like them, but as stated above, the machine doesn't lift enough to do much damage. When I get a larger machine, I'll get a full set of forks. Also, no matter how hard you tighten them, plan on them moving or coming off at some point needing to reinstall. Also, I...

    3 point hitch

    Step 1: Measure the width of the tube on part #40, write down measurement. Step 2: Slide the pin as far to one side as possible, and measure the clearance. Step 3: Grind/cut the tube on part #40 to slightly less than that measurement. Step 4: Add shims in appropriate location (depending upon...

    For Sale B6200 HST 4WD

    The problem may be that the tractor is a little too nice. What I mean is, I'll bet a lot of people would like to have that machine, but can't get past the premium price for what ultimately needs to be a workhorse that nobody wants to wax after each use. I hope I'm not coming off the wrong way...

    Bx Series - Inner tie rod replacement boots

    Ordered, thanks! Also, since you asked for feedback. Good video, but better lighting would have made it a great video.

    Box Blade ?

    Yup, I received my Titan 4' BB two weeks ago. It is really well made. I've been trying to decide what to do with the "crate" as well.

    Dumb 3 pt Hitch Question

    The primary potential issue caused by shorter lower arms is that there may not enough clearance between the implement and the tires especially when the arms are spread apart when an attachment is on. One potential way to move the implement back is to add a quick hitch. I would attach...

    Harbor Freight tools....

    I bought a HF angle grinder for $17 for a project once. I figured it would be a great test, it only needed to last a week or so, and at $17, if it broke right away it wasn't a big deal. That was 8 years ago and it still works. I don't use it everyday, but it has definitely paid its dues. I'd...

    Dumb 3 pt Hitch Question

    Looking good to me. One thing I do notice though is the adjustable leveling arms. There should be an equal amount of thread on each side of the center. They are basically turnbuckles. Also, I think on your model, the chains would go like in the picture below. Not 100%, but I think.

    Box Blade ?

    Nothing is offset, it is very symmetrical. However, as long as you're moving forward there shouldn't be any concern with compacting anything after it has been worked...as long as your tire width isn't more that the width of the implement. Shipping weight was 397 pounds, but that included a 2"...

    Box Blade ?

    I have a BX 1870 and just bought a 4' box blade from Titan Attachments. It came Friday and seems very well made. It does have 4 teeth. I'd think your machine could handle a 5 footer, but sometimes too much implement will actually take longer because you have to take smaller bites (so to speak).

    Finishing Mower for Kubota B7300

    Deuce is right on. I have a 60" Landpride that I bought on CL for $1,250. I ran it behind my B7100HST before I sold that machine. I haven't tried it on my BX 1870.
