So I have this early Earth and Turf HD brush guard that I could not mount on my BX2200
because the steel flywheel shield and, MMM mount were in the way. I was ready to sell it but, I thought what the heck....let's make it fit. I have the tools. So I did, and it worked out great. At the same time I wanted an easy way to add ballast to the rear without using the Kubota ballast box, which is a pita to mount or dismount, so I decided to mod the rear hitch to accept suitcase weights which are easy to remove and install. Plus I can add up to 6 for a total of 300Lbs. Plasma cutter and Mig welders are great to have. Cut off 2.5" from the back of the grill guard, plasma cutter was as smooth as a hot knife cutting butter. Love it.
By the way, that is water on the concrete not oil, 4 days of rain here. :cool:
