    I sold my wood chipper, and had to figure out how to move it without taken off the back hoe, and no pallet forks. I think worked out nicely.

    Anyone running the X-blade adaptors

    Howdy anyone running the x blade adaptors on a BX23 or BX2380 with a 54 inch deck? Which set did you get and are they worth it? I have a cyclonic rack I pull behind my tractor to pick up the leaves and clean the ditch line. I was just wondering if it would help or hurt my setup. Thanks Mike

    Another wheel spacer question. BX23S

    I had the BX2380 with a 54 inch drive over deck. I put 1.5 inch wheel spacers on it, and they just cleared the left rear gauge wheel. The BX23S I am getting this week will have the regular 54 inch MMM. Will my wheel spacers fit? Or do I have to get smaller ones? Thanks
