Implements for my Kubota BX2370 and how I store them

A little off subject - but, I see in your photo that your 3-point has adjustable Lifting Rods on the right and left side. My 2015 BX has a solid Rod on the left side and the adjustable is on the Right. Did you buy an adjustable Rod for the left or did it come like that?

Mike,

My tractor came with the second adjustable arm because I purchased the bagger. The bagger has static mounts that get bolted to the back of the tractor, and they require shorter arms than the 3-point hitch. So for the bagger, you either have to have a short arm that you swap out, or a second adjustable arm.

I don't know if that is the norm when you buy the Kubota bagger, but the dealership I purchased from said that is how they do it for their customers.

Hi John.

Thank you for taking the pictures and sending me the details. I will give it a go and see what I end up with. I am not much of a carpenter. LOL.

Cheers.

Les.

Just purchased the 3pt hitch type BX bagger. The kit came with the left arm replacement. The kit also comes with brackets, wire, and zip ties to move the hazard lights high on the ROPS where they can be seen and not covered by the bagger. An adjustable top link is also included along with the pto shaft.

Hi John! I like what you did for the snowblower. Would you kindly post some pictures with dimensions for those too?

Thanks

I just got a BX2370 this year (my first tractor) and have done a lot of work setting up fixtures to roll them easily around my garage. I will be adding links to videos with the different parts and how they attach and detach over the next season. Stay tuned for updates.

First recommended attachment, Mark Hodge's telescoping stabilizers. For anyone who has had to deal with the stock turnbuckles when wedged between the tractor and an implement, these things make it so much faster and easier. Not only do they work great, but they are very reasonably priced at $180 for the pair (including shipping). Contact Mark at markhdg@gmail.com if you are interested in a pair.

I attached a pic of the 2 color options that Mark can provide. I asked if he can match the paint on the 3 Point Kubota hitch, and this is what he said:
"The grey paint is lighter than the Kubota Blue. I've used Kubota Blue in the past, but I wasn't very happy with the quality of the paint or the curing time."

I went with the orange since it matches the tractor better than the grey.

Mark Hodges is a first rate guy. I waited several months for my gray stabilizers but worth the wait. They are first rate. Do yourself a favor and if you can order these from Mark.

Response to a 6+ year old thread?
Guess it is good to know that Mark Hodges is still around though.
