I finally found what I was looking for when it comes to having a receiver on the FEL. This came UPS ground to me in 3 days from Alabama.

There's 3 inches of space on the backside from outside edge to the SSQA plate. I'm going to see if Ken's Bolt On Hooks will fit there. I'd like to have one on each side. Then I can use this to lift objects too.

It came from the website below. I called them at 3:30 pm ET to order it and they shipped it that day.

Very nice, I like the way they cut out the center for visibility.


FYI: Your pics are HUGE making it so you have to scroll sideways to view them and the text.


The cut out is the key.

I uploaded from my iPhone. I selected "best" for pictures. How can I make them smaller?

That's $189 ( shipped ) well spent, wish they made one for my BX2370.

I agree that your pics a too big, be nice if you can get them down to a normal size.

I've edited my original post. I deleted the pictures then reuploaded them again. But this time was at "medium" quality. With the Tapatalk Pro app you can select between small, medium, and best.

Let me know.

Well that is nice, I was going to get the 3-point hitch one but I think this might be a better option as I can move trailers around without needing to take off the backhoe, the bucket is easy!

Did this come Painted orange or did you paint it when you got it?

Side note, how much of a trailer can a BX move? I know a utility if fine but what about larger trailers or a travel trailer?

It came painted orange.

Does your BX have the SSQA option? If not this won't work.

If you're moving a travel trailer I'd probably use the 3 point hitch depending on how far you're going.

Yes, its the BX23S with the SSQA, it's a 37ft travel trailer, I might just keep moving it with my truck :)

Yeah. 37ft, I think I'd use the truck. Ha!

I got it to move some utility trailers we have.

I'll definitely look into this, I really like the ease of use and I don't need to remove the backhoe just to move a trailer around

I have the receiver plate from these guys:
bxattachments.com
Very well made, light enough to carry around (maybe 40 pounds), strong enough for my needs. The car in the photo weighs 2800 pounds, the trailer 900. I move it around like this on asphalt and my gravel access road with no issues at all.

And here it is lifting my 500 pound generator.

I just found your thread and ordered one. They cost $199 now shipped. I looked at all the options. I still might get the Heavy Hitch for ballast that has a receiver but this on looks easier to connect to and maneuver with. I might have my rotary cutter or finish mower on the back when I want to move trailers around and this would make that easier. It is a bit more expensive than the fork or bucket clamp on units but I would have to swap off my grapple to put one of those on anyway and this one looks much better designed.

That looks great. I ordered a set of pallet forks that has a hay spear and also a trailer receiver. That will be nice for moving my trailer around in tight space. I’m not sure my visibility will be as good as that though.
