I spent about 2 hours trying to get the loader back onto my tractor (BX23S) One side always doesn't want to go on correctly and I don't know if the loader arms are the problem or the operator's error.
Quick right trurn after TO?I put all the heavier scraps of iron I have laying around on the landscaping rake and ran it up and down the runway plus the trails I ride my bikes on. The extra weight really helps in getting the results I'm after. I also have a 100 year old harrow that I can drag around, but the rake is easier to manuver. View attachment 125704
Hell,......It is already melted!Heavy, heavy Spring snow, 15-17", blowing hard to tell. I had to bust out of the 450' driveway. It was tough going on the uphill.
It's like you are pushing sand.Had to take care of more heavy spring snow this morning. We got about a foot up at the house. It was elevation dependent. When I got down the looong hill to the town road there was only about 6". The road was soft and muddy so I shortened the float chain and ran the plow like a dozer blade. With it angled to throw snow to the left the FEL lever gives me raise, lower, drop right edge with dump, drop left edge with curl. I try to get close to the gravel w/o turning it up. I go slow and it take practice.
My wife took a short video on her phone.

No turn required, as the mountain drops away for 1200' vertical before the valley floor, it's much easier and safer than taking off a flat and level runway.Quick right trurn after TO?

Summer is coming!

Almost had a very bad day when moving material in the bucket, so I decided to make a mount for some rear suitcase weights.
I used the 3pt arms and took some angle iron and welded wings onto it and drilled some holes so I could bolt it to the arms. The goal was to keep it as tight as possible since I need to get in and out of some pretty tight spaces.
Found some weights that matched my tractor perfectly on marketplace, too. 55lb each, I now have another 275lb on the back.
The 3pt arms drop when the tractor is off and all the weights fell off with quite a bang. It's just holding them up. I'm looking for another way to secure them going downThat's getting it done.
Looks like the chain attached to the rebar going through the hole in the weights should be going in the downward direction. That would help keep the weights in place, if there was ever an occasion for them to try to lift out.
Maybe some stock on both sides welded to your angle that has holes lining up with the weight hole.The 3pt arms drop when the tractor is off and all the weights fell off with quite a bang. It's just holding them up. I'm looking for another way to secure them going down
Have you ever considered a more protective (mesh/screen?) grille guard?
I used a similar (50 Cal) box on mine, but removed the SMV hardware, bolted the box sideways to its bracket, and remounted the SMV hardware to the outside of the box. Mine's gray to match the ROPS.Mounted a little toolbox to the BX using the SMV hardware. Turned out pretty good. Time will tell. Nice to have a place for some channel locks, gloves, rags, grease, etc.
If my SMV bracket ends up bending, I may have to change plans and do it your way. Your set-up can probably handle more ice and cold beverages.I used a similar (50 Cal) box on mine, but removed the SMV hardware, bolted the box sideways to its bracket, and remounted the SMV hardware to the outside of the box.

Yes and I’ve looked at a few manufacturers, but haven’t found the right one yet.Have you ever considered a more protective (mesh/screen?) grille guard?
