I have a BX, so if I am doing any Heavier loader work I use 4wd. If I don’t the rear tires can get lighter and lose traction.

I saw when in doubt use 4wd. Not sure why not to.

Yep. One of the reasons I want chains to secure it and also allow be to carry it much lower On that specific log, it was extremely rotted so very light.......although it still would have been very unpleasant if it rolled back on me.

It is for lifting. Also for securing larger/awkward items in the bucket so I can curl it etc without them falling out.

These are the hooks I got with my 5/16 chain. I also have a set of AG tires/rims for it in the garage I still need to put on. Figure those will be better for moving snow in the winter.

I do have this chain/hooks that I put together from scrap stuff I had laying around. It worked okay for some stuff, but a little short to wrap around items.

Thanks. Definitely not wanting to twist my loader arms.

Hooks on my BX for reference

Hi all, I installed a couple of hooks on the bucket of my BX in the fall. I recently purchased 25’ of bill chain and some hooks. What lengths do you recommend I make for use with my bucket hooks. I think 25’ would be too long. I was thinking maybe a 15’ one and a 10’ one. Thanks

I just installed these in the fall. Used them a few times and they were handy. Probably use them a lot more for spring-fall work.

Bucket definitely could use a couple of coats

I got these installed today. Simple install and didn’t hit any issues. Can’t wait for an excuse to use them. First off they will be used to connect my homemade snowpusher to the bucket. I will probably end up painting them in the near future.

I still say go for it. It will take longer with your tractor than a bigger one, but if you enjoy the work then it is great. I have a .5 acre pond on my property. It is about 8-9ft deep. I was talking to my neighbor who has lived here forever and he was curious or the depth. He said the owner...

Mine is always if it becomes a bigger safety risk then I feel comfortable with. I don't see a safety risk with what the OP is doing.....so I say go for it if you enjoy doing it. I do, so I wouldn't hesitate unless I had too many other pressing projects.

I got a BX2200 about 1.5 years ago when I bought my new place. I have been very impressed with what I can accomplish with it. IT is very true that with bigger more specialized equipment you can accomplish the task faster, but if you are willing to put more time in I would be fairly confident...

I will post some pics after I get it done. I just ordered some bolt on hooks for my bucket. The plan is to utilize those to secure it to the top of the bucket. Here is where I am at so far:

I plowed last year with the bucket. Worked fairly well but took extra passes for cleanup. For this winter I am building something very similar to this to try. Our winters are really hit and miss. Some require a lot of snow removal and other almost none at all.

Not quite ready yet. Maybe one more mow and then the deck will get cleaned and put away for the winter. About halfway through my homemade snowpusher project. I plowed with the bucket last year. Did okay, but a pusher will be a lot better. Got my 2 pellet stoves cleaned and running well. Picked...

That is one of the items for my BX that is on my must have list. 1.Hooks 2. Piranha Bar 3. Box scraper 4. Carry all I figure those are the ones I would use enough to justify the cost. Past that I will just rent the attachments.

I will make sure I post some. I have been taking pics of the snow pusher I am building too and will post those when I get it done. Its nothing super fancy, but I usually only need it a hand full of times over the winter. I couldn't stomach spending $1000 when I can make something that will...
