BX2680 Customization & Add Ons

[Jason Silliker]

Hey guys, how’s it going new to the orange site but I’ve been hanging around Garden tractor forums of various colours for several years.
Just figured I’d put this thread under customization as I would introduce myself and the tractor and updates in the future of any mods and changes.
Here’s a couple of pics of the day I picked it up. It’s a 2020 2680 came with the loader, 54” deck & 51” blower with hydraulic package.
So far I’ve shimmed the PRV up to 200psi, tabbed up front tie down rings and a front and rear receiver mounts and a 3 point hitch receiver. Added a hydraulic top link. I’ll add some more pics soon.
Unfortunately it didn’t come with the SSQA but I plan on building an adapter & modding my pin on bucket unless I can find a trade somewhere lol. I love welding and fabricating. I’m a Millwright and Machinist by trade. Big project for the summer is a custom cab. I built one for my John Deere LA165 (Few build threads on other forums) but sold the whole set up last week.
More to come…..

Very cool man! Nice tractor, and damn, that snow thrower looks Yuge.

Sounds like you will fit in very well here. There are tons of talented people here.

We like lots of pics too!

The SSQA mod sounds like a cool project, and I think you will be glad you did it.

Keep us updated, and Welcome!!!

Thanks will do. Here’s a few pics of the front tiedowns and front and rear sleeve hitches. The front hitch is 6 inches deep. I may shorten it up sticks out, kind of far lol. I will only use it as a winch mount
if I use it at all.

I ordered a top link off of Vevor so I made up a spare top link holder off of an original.

Nope, no problems here.

"Double side note": I have to access OTT using Duck Duck Go. Trying to use Chrome has become a nightmare for me on a few different sites, for whatever reason.

Seems fine on the lap top but the phone keeps re-loading for some reason.

This website and Safari don’t play well together unless you are a paid member or have some type of ad blocking service. I switched to Duck Duck Go and it solved your described problems.
