Thinking about buying a grapple for my BX and want to install the 3 rd. function valve first. Which one makes the most sense for what I am trying to do ?? Future want list is hydraulic top link, I have read a little about 3 spool valves. Are these two different projects or can they be combined ??
I bought a Lincoln AC stick welder new 54 years ago to learn. (still have it) That was the beginning of my business. All self taught My opinion the only way to go.
I looked up the HLA earlier and found out they weigh 190#. That was what I was searching for low weight for more lift. Belco is the company that makes some of the Tar River Implements. I have a Tiller and a Box Blade, happy with both.
Is anyone familiar with the Belco forks ?? Quick disconnect, 36" fork length, 900# capacity, They weight 161#
I would like to pull the trigger but want your opinion. Thanks in advance.
I have a Tar River 50" tiller for my BX23S. Very Happy with it. I do not think the BX could handle any thing wider. It does a wonderful job The soil turns out very fine. Mine is the standard forward rotation and also is a gear drive. I would purchase it again in a heartbeat. Good Luck.
On my BX23S I have to remove the back hoe to put on the 3 point system. No other way to do it. Good luck It only takes about 10 minutes to remove the back hoe.
I am following this post because I am also interested. Would this be an advantage on mt BX23S when using a Box Blade or a Tiller that I just purchased ??
I have 4. Happy with that, would not care for only 3. Would like to try 5, but that might be too much. There has to be a reason there is the spacing between them. But so far 48" and 4 scarifiers seems to be perfect.
I have a Dirty Dog 48", with 4 scarifiers and both blades have a large radius. It does an amazing job and I am very happy with it and would buy it again.
Take a look at BXpanded in Knoxville, Tenn. They have forks that attach to the top of the bucket. I just saw paperwork on them when I picked up a Ripper blade and a Quick change adapter last week. I believe they do not weigh much and will not affect the lifting capacity of your tractor. Good...
My experience with BXpanded is they know what they are doing. Thew always want to know what model you are ordering for and what year it is. I am sure they will be very familiar with your new bucket. At least worth the phone call.
Kubota apparently assembles their tractors without using any lubricant. The lug bolts on my BX23S were hard to remove. After I lubed the accelerator lever it works much better. Greasing all of the seat slides etc the seat swivels like it should. Good luck.
