Have a BX2350 need to put weights on the front end , I also have a grill guard. Do I need to remove the grill guard to put the weight bracket on or is there a work around ?
BX tractor , front weights and grill guard

I had a plate bent to hold 2 100 pound suitcase weights that hooked on the grill guard of my BX2660. Works well, just had 2 3/8 bolts tapped into the guard to hold it and used a ratchet strap to keep the weights in place. I no longer use it as I bought a bigger tractor to do what I was doing with the BX. You should be able to do something similar to hold whatever weights you are using.

Excellent work around. Mount one of these then get the weight hitch bracket. Then add weights. Pricey but EASY.

I was able to use longer bolts and a couple of J bolts to secure the Kubota weight bracket in front of my grill guard.

I really like that set up.. looks like a really well thought out design.
After a second look is that a package deal or are they separate manufacturer's?
the brush guard is from "Earth & Turf" in New Holland PA, and the little bracket I just made from a steel scraps, its just a box that gives the 40lb weights something to grab onto. It was compact and worked well

Where did you get the weights? They are a lot nicer the front kubota weight I have, and look like they are shorter then the suitcase weights I currently have.
