Does the 4 point front hitch on BX tractors have down force or just gravity and implement weight ? Im pretty sure i read on here that the 3 point rear hitches are just gravity down but im not sure about the front .... ***129300;

Yes, down force can be applied. However use caution and common sense. Implement such as a snow blower is designed to run in float, i.e. gravity. If you hit something under the snow the implement can kick up and over it. Put the weight of the tractor on it hit something, good chance you do some damage.

What was said above. It will lift the front wheels no problem if you let it, but I can’t really think of an implement where you’d want to.
