A proper top link is two threaded sections joined by a threaded sleeve which allows the length of the top link to be adjusted significantly. You could purchase one at Tractor Supply.

That is a much cleaner (less busy) and more stable design. How will you run the wiring and tube for the pressure gage, perhaps in split loom?

Box blades connect to 3pt hitch so they can be raised and lowered. The draw bar has no lift function.

You might look into the LockNLube grease coupler for your existing grease gun. It might be more accommodating of different zerk fittings than a standard grease gun coupler.

Many modern cordless drills are capable of breaking wrists and doing other severe damage to hands and arms when the drill suddenly stops if the bit becomes locked up. It is best to use a side handle on the drill when drilling strong materials with the potential for suddenly stopping the bit. A...

Wow, you really cantilevered the display/controls out from the "grab bar" much further than I was expecting, but maybe that was necessary for ease of access and viewing. Have you driven it around on the field to see if vibration is an issue?

I did something similar to i7win7 by putting front end loader attachments on an upper level where they can easily be directly attached/detached on the FEL SSQA and storing the 3 pt attachments on the lower level where they can be directly attached/detached to the 3 pt hitch. Mine is in an open...

Land Pride still shows the GS1548 on their website here: https://www.landpride.com/products/82/gs15-series-grading-scrapers

The Land Pride 1548 is an appropriate size for your BX2380 and certainly for the OP's BX1880. The Land Pride land planes are very nice. I have the 1560 which I use on my LX4020 and going uphill dragging gravel does use some power. Also if you ever plan on using the rippers you want to keep...

A 7 ft land plane is probably 2 ft too big for a BX1880.

I installed the Workmaster Plate from JU FabWorks on my LX4020 60" bucket. It bolts on and includes 2 chain hooks, 2 loops, and a 2" receiver and also acts to reinforce the top edge of the bucket for these attachments...

Maybe it's a regional thing, I haven't heard of any of them and I'm many decades beyond being a "youngun".

I weigh 210#, but I don't have the suspension seat cranked up all the way, so you may be able to adjust it for your weight. Definitely give it a good try before thinking about switching it out. Congratulations on the new LX4020 cab. I certainly love mine, particularly for snow blowing in...

Are you unable to get the existing suspension seat adjusted to your weight and comfort? I find the seat in my LX4020 to be very comfortable and the adjustable height armrests are also nice.

I don't know if there is a difference in how the more recent loader mounts to the tractor frame, but since the LA344 loader came out for a more recent tractor series than yours, it is possible that the frame mounting is different. Just something I would check before purchasing.
