    twisted bucket arms..

    If the rear tires are not out of balance pressure wise then one of your cross members are slightly twisted. You can check this with a straight edge. To realign it you have to cut the old cross member out and replace it. I did my dad's tractor last year.

    That would be a good idea to start with.

    B2400 Back Blade

    Weight is key to a back blade doing what you want, so the heavier the better. You might have to add weight to make it dig in and cut the dirt. I have a #950- 7 foot, 6 way adjustable blade that I love. Adjustability is also something that you'll thank yourself for later.

    Retirement

    Retirement is wonderful, but I find that I still work for someone, my new boss (the wife) is harder than the one I retired from lol. I love it just wish I could have done it before my body wore out.

    Regen comparison

    Looks like on the road has lower sulphur and I guess it doesn't burn any cleaner. Thanks for the responses

    Regen comparison

    Has anyone seen or done a study on off road diesel and over the road diesel to determine if one causes more frequent regens? Inquiring minds want to know if there's a difference.

    To fill or not to fill...also, spacers

    I vote no on the spacers and yes on the fluid in the tires. The backhoe alone is sufficient ballast but without the hoe you'll be light in the rear. Fluid combined with a decently heavy implement will help take the place of the backhoe. Spacers add additional stress to lighter weight axles...

    I'm getting to the point of not wanting to let anyone use any of my things any more.

    I'll loan my stuff out, but it always comes with an operator (me)

    Rear Brush Cutter and Quick Hitch- Yeah or Nay

    As long as you have the required bushings the quick hitch works great. Most new brush cutters have a floating top link set up already.

    Rear Blade End Plates?

    I thought about this too and was sold on the idea until I priced them. Then I decided to build my own them priced the steel. I opted to wait and lucked up on a HD box blade that was cheaper than the endplates and a little more the building my own. Now Guage wheels are still on my radar

    What size bucket do you have on your MX Tractor with BH92 Backhoe?

    I have an 18" and 36" buckets for my BH 92. We have sandy soil here but it still challenges the 36" one. I use it for digging burn pits and the occasional drain field. I've learned that if you keep the 36" at 3/4 full it works fine. The 18" works fine for everything, I use it most of the time.

    3 point back blade ?

    Sorry I'm late to the party but I use my rear blade for ballast a lot on my MX, especially when using my grapple for heavy lifting. Mine weighs in at 950+ lbs so it does really well. The other nice thing is I reverse the blade and I can smooth out or level anything. For light work I use my box...

    Having fun pulling stumps with Backhoe and ripper tooth...

    Here's a picture of one of the last two tree stumps I dug up a couple of weeks ago. It's about as big as I could handle with my MX and backhoe
