Hey Skeets, thanks for the input and info. How long have you been running both type weights?? I see you're listed as Washington PA. Our new tractors are actually in Bentleyville, Pa about 15 miles east of you. These Kubota's seem to be built better than my old JD and it ran 20 years with both...

Thanks for the input guys. The bolt on weights he was going to try are off one of the John Deere's we sold. They are cast iron 62.5 lbs each wheel and if we measured right should bolt right on the BX wheels without sticking out more than about an inch. I'll pass this info on to him and let him...

Are there any other model FELs such as older models that would work on the BX1870? I also read that the LA243 will...

Have a new 1870 coming on Friday. Hate the look of the ROPS but haven't given it much thought. Anyone know the measurement of it when folded??I forgot to measure the height. I mowed 25 years with my JD 322 and never had even a close roll over with the tires filled and also external weights. I...
