I think a 4 ft land plane would be best for a BX1880. So maybe you have to do an extra pass to cover the width you want to groom. If you have hills to go up and/or areas with heavy packed material you might find a 5 ft land plane too much for a n 18 hp and relatively light weight tractor. If...

The Land Pride brochure lists the SGC1060 as suitable for 30-55 HP. You might have to be careful how you use it with at 60 or 70 HP tractor to avoid damaging it

My Land Pride SGC0660 grapple has handy foldup stands on each end. Maybe you could rig up something similar.

A grill guard is essential if you use a grapple on your tractor. I have one from Broken Anvil Metal Works on my LX4020. They make a wide variety of different styles.

When I used the 3 point snowblower on my BX2370, I had a wireless camera mounted on top of the ROPs with the monitor attached to the hood by magnets in front of the steering wheel . It worked great with no frequent need to clean the camera lens. Saved a lot of twisting around in the seat.

Another alternative is the 3 point pallet forks from Agrisupply: https://www.agrisupply.com/pallet-forks/p/72511/ I have them for my BX2370 and they can lift a lot more than the pallet forks on the front end loader. Also they are very economical compared to a set of loader forks.

Messicks guide on servicing BX series tractors shows the oil capacity to be 3.3 quarts.

Congratulations!. I was not one who weighed in on your original post, but I think you settled on the right size tractor for your needs and did a good job resisting all the "recommendations" for much bigger tractors. Turf tires were an excellent choice since you're doing lots of mowing and they...

Yes, it is always best to fully lift the 3 point in order to turn the mower height adjustment knob to and from the Top position. It is also possible that the link arm between the mower lift and the 3 point lift is slightly out of adjustment, making it difficult or impossible to get the knob...

It's the Under Armor Skid Plate by bxpanded.com. I have and highly recommend it for when the mower deck is off. They also sell the Piranha tooth bar for the bucket which is excellent.

I'll take a wild guess here that your B2601 does not have filled tires. Somehow you have strong feelings about how a BX rides with filled tires. From my first hand experience a BX rides fine with properly filled tires (leaving the proper air space) and the added weight does not damage my lawn...

The OP is getting some conflicting info in this thread so here goes my two cents. My 12 years of experience mowing my lawn with a BX that has filled turf tires has been very good. Having filled tires helps in stability (lowers center of gravity) and provides much needed ballast for loader work...

Having two sets of tires (R4 and R3) is not going to be cheap and a bit of a time consuming pain to swap back and forth. Alternatively he could order R14 tires which are a good combination of R3 (turf) and R4 tire characteristics. I have R14s on my LX4020 and while I do not mow with that...

I've had a BX2370 for 12 years and mow my lawn which has several obstacles and tight spots without difficulty. It has turf tires (rear are filled) and I find it extremely maneuverable and it does no damage to the lawn. I never remove the loader but I do remove the bucket when mowing. It is...

Needing the bucket raised "several feet in the air to avoid ground contact" would be a mighty rough field. Probably far to rough for use of the 3 pt attachment under consideration by the OP.
