To answer your other question, I did have a choice between forward and rear rotating. The forward saved me some money and I was told it was easier on the tractor since the rotating tiller helped push the tractor along vs having to pull it while rotating in the opposite direction. Sent from my...

I think it is actually 50”. It covers the rear wheel width. I have no problems with it, although my soil is all that rocky. I have hit broken bricks and rocks from when they built the house without any issues. It’s more than enough tractor to handle it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a bx1870-1 that I run a landpride forward rotating 1250 behind in New Jersey. I used it to replant grass on my 1/2 acre and use it for a 12x24’ garden I “farm” each year. It works awesome and is much better than the walk-behinds. Now, it is a bit heavy and when I back up and stop, the...

We ended up with 3-5” here in Southern New Jersey. Will have to get a picture with the Kubota during the next one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I wouldn’t have expected anything less from EA Attachments or Travis. I bought a box blade from them a couple of years back and wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again in the future. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Did you reach out to Travis? I can’t believe he would take that approach of not making it right. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think they also did away with the bolts that slide in from the side and implemented a connector similar to the John Deere that flips up and down. It was that connection point I didn’t know would be compatible or not with the new loaders. My bx19870 has a pin on each side that connects the...

I’m not sure it will fit. They did more to it than just the quick attach loader valves. They also made it so you can disconnect the loader without getting out of the seat. This would lead me to believe they’ve modified other attachment points. Undoing and redoing the 4 loader hoses isn’t all...

Yes, I have a bx1870 that I run a Landpride 50” tiller on. It does do a great job! However, it does make the front end a little light without the front end loader or weights. Other than that, I haven’t had any issues running it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So, you’re getting a bigger tractor because that’s what your wife wants? And you have a tractor and wife problem? I think you may have hit the lottery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just leave it up and get the garage door damage out of the way. It happens to everyone! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

A couple of years ago, I was in the same boat as you. Although, I don’t have as much land and am still stuck in the subdivision. I went with a bx1870 since the plan was to replace a smaller John Deere x310, but wanted the front end loader. We had an in ground pool put in and it didn’t include...

I was able to get one for the 48” deck on my bx1870. I’m not sure if they use the same mower deck as the mower you just bought. I can check for the part number on the invoice if they broke it out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Take a look at Everything Attachments. They sell Orange ones and ship to most places free within a certain distance of their facility. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My concern would be for whatever you are parking underneath it. The hydraulic systems are known to bleed down over time. So, you’ll want to make sure you lock out the cylinders or prop up the FEL somehow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about a tiller? They pack in some weight too? Everybody needs a vegetable garden. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably should’ve mentioned that my yard is relatively flat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Bucket on a BX1870 The ballast box isn’t necessary, however some form of rear ballast is nice - box blade or tiller maybe? I have done mulch without rear ballast, but not sure about dirt. In fact, I did 30 yards of mulch a few weeks back. I would think dirt is more dense. I, too, have the...

If you are looking at grapples, I’d definitely take a look at EA Attachments out of North Carolina. When I bought my bx1870 a couple of years ago, I went with the FEL, MMM, and tiller from the dealer. However, I picked up a box blade from them a couple of months later and it has been awesome...

I don’t think I’d use a finishing mower on anything but grass and don’t think I’d run over saplings with one. Rotary cutters are designed for the work you want to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
