I use this log arch from NorthernTool https://www.northerntool.com/products/strongway-atv-log-skidding-arch-1000-lb-capacity-18in-dia-capacity-51962 With my ATV, but you could also pull it with a tractor.

I have not replaced any hoses or lines on my 2014 BX2370 with 800+ hrs and have no intention of doing so unless I see some evidence of degradation. The tractor is stored inside so not left out in the sun and weather, if that makes a difference.

Wheels definitely help if you are going over uneven ground. On uneven ground without wheels you have to constantly keep adjusting the 3 point up and down to avoid either scalping or missing the ground. I originally bought my rake without wheels, but soon decided to add them.

If you decide to switch to the 60 inch bucket, I have the 60 inch bucket on my LX4020 and I ordered and installed a 58 inch Piranha tooth bar on it. I am very pleased with the both the bucket and the tooth bar.

I have the Woodland Mills stump grinder and I use a wireless backup camera attached to a magnet and mounted it on the grinder where it provides a view of the grinding wheel and the stump. Just watch the monitor in the cab and no sore neck.

Do you have the PTO shift lever out of gear? If your tractor has the push button electronic PTO on/off button, your PTO shaft remains somewhat engaged as long as the PTO shift lever is engaged. I found with my LX4020 (that has the electronic PTO on/off button) that I must have the PTO lever in...

Regarding the choice between a diverter valve or true 3rd function, I recommend a true 3rd function valve. A diverter valve is an electrically controlled valve that selects between your bucket curl hydraulics and your accessory (e.g. grapple) hydraulics, therefor you cannot simultaneously close...

The OP was asking about mowing with a loader on a BX or B in which case the loader does not add anything close to 6 ft of length, more like 3 ft and less than half that if you take just the bucket off.

Yes, I use it on my bucket in the winter for snow removal. It works well in increasing the capacity of the bucket and it also provides a thick wear plate for the bucket edge. It did require adding some shims to the attachment bolts at the bucket edge corners to keep it tight to the bucket, but...

I bought a LandPride WC1504 instead of a WC1503 chipper to use on my BX2370 and it works very well as long as I don't try to chip something larger than about 2-1/2". If you want to be able to chip branches with lots of Ys, the most important chipper characteristic is the chipper inlet opening...

I have never taken the loader off my BX to mow, that would be a waste of time and effort. I simply drop off the bucket and three point weight box to shorten the overall length and lighten the load. Occasionally raise the loader arms to avoid obstacles when turning.

I can't disagree with any of that. By the way, if you are the WFM I think you are, I bought a maple syrup evaporator from you 9 years ago. Excellent construction, we've been very happy with it.

Unlike the 5.5% sales tax in your state (Maine) NH has no state sales tax. A very small minority of small retailers, regardless of the state they are in, try to recover the fee they are charged for accepting credit cards. Maine is much closer to being the other Massachusetts than NH for a...

I have a set of these 3 point forks: https://www.agrisupply.com/pallet-forks/p/72511/ that I use on my BX2370 and they work great. They weigh just over 100 lbs so they don't detract much from the 3 point lift capacity.

I have two manual dump trailers that I have had for years and been very happy with: One is from Tractor Supply the Ohio Steel Tow-Behind 15 cu. ft. Hybrid ATV and Lawn/Garden Poly Swivel Dump Cart, 1,250 lb. Capacity...
