Maybe it is a good idea to fix somehow the branch cutter. Otherwise it will jump out of the box, when you drive around in the wood.
So, when will we see you working with wood??

Thanks. Will be doing a video very soon
I wanted the cutters there just in case I had a branch hung up. You'll get to see it when I do the video. Thanks again!
Thank you my friend.
Not to worry Carl. It won't bounce out of its holder. The BX can't go fast enough for that to happenMaybe it is a good idea to fix somehow the branch cutter. Otherwise it will jump out of the box, when you drive around in the wood.

Oh ya. If I wanted to I could blow it all off with an air hose. Yesterday we got a financial settlement from the manufacture that was more than fair so when the fall comes I'll sand blast the complete unit, epoxy prime and paint. Might even add some airbrush work. Thanks for your info as well.
Cheers.
You have a decent dealer there. Good for you.Thanks. Will be doing a video very soon

No doubt about it. They are the very best. They had it all straightened out in a few days. I could have had another chipper but might have the same issues. When I'm done with it it will be showroom. Might even enter it in a car show
If I understand that correctly are they paying you to repaint and fix their screw up??

Well my friend I am truly honoured that you made this your first post and that's the Gods honest truth. Its very rewarding to me personally when I hear that I've inspired folks or helped them in some small way.Wild fire Please don,t judge the popularity of your thread by the responses you get on this forum.

Thank you very much for your kind remarks. It was very nice of you to take the time to post. Oh. Welcome to the site
I agree with Crickett, I really enjoy your mods and am very impressed with your design, workmanship and ingenuity. I don't make very many comments but am fascinated with your detail and explanations of what your doing. I've learned a lot from your posts and I always thought I was pretty talented but your work is way above my capabilities and its enjoyable to see what a true craftsman can accomplish.
Keep up the good work.
Randy

Well Randy I can't thank you enough. I just assumed that if no one was posting it was because there was a lack of interest so you and Crickett proved me wrong on that asumption.
Sometimes I say to myself " no one is interested in this kind of tractor customizing" but with the two threads I've posted on this site and TBN I've been more than surprised. The thread on TBN will soon hit 23000 views in two weeks. I would have never thought that could happen.
I really appreciate you taking the time to post on my thread. The only reason I bother to post at all is to share ideas but there has been times I felt like I was talking to myself. To make a site better we need more members posting but I do understand that some folks don't like posting.
I find the more people post and ask questions the more I post and the more detailed information I include with my threads.
Thanks so much for this. Its given me another angle to look at. Welcome to the site as well
Contrary to popular belief I do thoroughly enjoy seeing each and every one of your post's Paul. If I had a tractor worthy of making a bunch of mods on I'd be asking a ton of questions or posting up some of my own photos. I have tons of great ideas myself but I lack a little bit of the skill set and a place of my own to do anything with.

Thanks guys. I appreciate that. For the next six months it will be ship, automotive,motorcycle,farm repairs .... And that will include welding, machining,machinical and fabrication so tractor mods are out to pasture for now
The local Stihl retailer was telling my wife that its strange that since I've purchased the new chainsaw they've been getting guys coming in asking to buy the same saw "Paul" bought.
Looks like there's a lot of people watching this thread and not all of them are tractor guys
Anyway last night was the first night I took off in three weeks. We had a request to show our collection "Gasoline Alley" which we did and everyone had I nice enjoyable evening. I hope you all did too.
Ya, i just order two extra side panels for my B3200 to add some airbrush work so winter use when the FEL is off and the front mount snowblower is on. Haven't got any idea about what to add though.
Very cool mods and I will try to stop by during the summer to see them in person.
P.S. Just picked up my mower from Todd at Newfoundland Kubota. As you pointed out in an earlier post, they have been great to deal with.

That's going to be a nice project. I might do the lower portion of the hood on mine this winter and airbrush what would look like a realistic engine with turbo attached. It would look like the side skirts were off the engine and it would appear that you were looking at the actual engine.
Congrats on the new mower. The whole dealership is great to deal with. Even their parts department is outstanding.
What did you get for a mower? Todd was telling me my name was mentioned at the home show. Must have been you
Holy, that's a good idea. Are you taking customers? Put me next in the line please, I'll pay for all the shipping.That's going to be a nice project.

Well if you were looking for ideas that's a good start
Winter is a great time for that sort of thing. I'll post photo's when done.
