BX25D, DIY mods

I have 60 in. zero turn mower, that my wife uses all the time. 13 acres, 3 acres wooded, bad back from football days.

So I left out in the morning looking for a used $400.00 tractor to pull my wagon so I could chop some wood for the winter.

This is what I came back with. But my wife said you had better get all you want because this was a one shot deal.
So I got:
*BX25D BLT
*Curtis Cab, All steel, wiper, heater, deluxe overhead console stereo
*BroTech skid plates (3)
*BroTech tool box / front bumper (holds 20 ft. chain)
*BroTech wheel spacers (4) 1-1/2 in. front , 3 in. rear
*Ken's hooks for front bucket
*hooks and tie downs all four corners , custom
*golf cart mirrors
*4000 lum LED light bar, 1400 lum LED rear work, 750 lum LED side lights
*1860 balance bucket rear
*backhoe stablizer pads (black)
*Orange North Face jacket
*trailer hookup bar for balance bucket
*Bully , step for left side door
*custom built glove box for left side door
*custom built guard for front wheel drive shaft
*custom built tool box under right side door (PVC)

WOW thats a nice set up. I like the skid plates. Do you have any pictures of the 1860 balance bucket rear? What part of ohio are you from?

 

[t33jetman]

From Wooster , Ohio

Purchased tractor from "Sterling Farms Tractor Supply" on Rt 250

My 1860 is not mounted yet , but i will show you one I found on the internet mounted

I did purchase a 3 point hitch also and will mount it for the winter snow clearing jobs, since I am done using the backhoe till spring.

made a glove/ glasses box
when you just need something to hold your stuff

needed a place to put some tools when in the field, so I made this to fit under the door with a bracket. I only use the left door any how.

this is another shield I made , but got the idea off the internet
I just painted mine to make it look factory.
Make sure you put some holes in the bottom so to drain out the water

Nice work on your BX my friend. I've enjoyed watching the transition. You've got the dream tractor there now. Hard work pays off. Congrats on a great job.

Thank you Paul
For all your inspiration and someone to lean on as I took on this project with no idea how it was going to end up. Everyone on this site looks up to you and your talent and workmanship is outstanding.

Here are some pictures of today after it snowed along with some fence work i did.

Thank you William. I think your the guy with the talent. To be in an IT world and do what you've done in a short period of time is nothing short of remarkable. I'd have no problem working next to you in my shop.

Nice to see your unit working and I can see its making a big difference to your property while your having fun in the process. That's what owning a tractor is all about.

Thank you also for trusting me with my opinions and suggestions over the last few months but we both knew you had it all under control.

Keep the photos coming. We all like looking at them.
