hey all,

I been doing some searching but not found a solution yet. I have a BX25D with the 3pt mounted grass catcher. I love the device, but I find it a bit cumbersome to attach/detach as frequently as I do. Has anybody made this quick attachable in any fashion? Quick Hitchable? BTW, I hate the 3pt turnbuckles, they never stay put with the bagger on.

Thanks,

Nick

Don't know if the grass catcher requires a top link or directly connects to the top fitting on your tractor. If it uses a top link rod, consider a Pat's lower arm set. It adds 3 to 4 inches to your lower arms so it may require a longer top link rod to sit level.

Replace your turnbuckles with a set of Hodge's stabilizer bars. Best thing since sliced bread. Even if the Pat's won't work for you the Hodge bars will greatly reduce your frustration level.

I have both, my only complaint is the two added to the 3 point add significant weight to lift off the tractor if you are constantly swapping the back hoe and 3 point out.

Thanks, if the bagger will sit back ~4in I'd likely need a new pto shaft also.
