Lawn Vac for BX

[GreensvilleJay]

I think the one I bought must have ingested 3 or 4 tons of gravel off the guys driveway as the blades were all 'chewed' and ends wore out. Hard to believe GRASS clippings would do that damage.

Grass is abrasive, that's why blades need to be sharpened often. I see wear on my fan and have never hit gravel. I think pine needles are even worse then grass.

Using my TerraKing going on 3 years.

Make sure to put suitcase weights on the front to offset 20 bushel weight on the back!
Awesome device.
Cost $2800 then.
Never a problem.

Hi Chriscozi,
I just received my TerraKing 3pt vacuum. I've been getting it set up (cutting PTO shaft, sorting out wiring, making a better stand, etc). I also purchased the AgriFab 45-0607 "universal" deck boot, and it sure looks to be too small for my BX2380.

What boot did you use?

Thanks!
Jim

Hi - Mine came with the Terra King. Has a small window on top, a bracket to bolt on the front edge of the deck and one to bolt on the rear. No drilling was required as the holes were there in the deck from the factory. They really mad it fit nicely.

I bought the agrifab around 15 years ago. Use it every year. Some things I learned over the years. Only use it when the lawn and leaves are DRY DRY DRY. Otherwise it will clog if the slightest wet. I mulch the leaves for weeks until I use the lawn vac. Less work and more mulched leaves can fit in the box. Not sure what size engine I have but its a beast. Every fall it starts up first pull and sounds like a B29 taking off. Its so powerful I had to secure the back door with a ratchet strap. Very powerful. Not one issue with it. The air in the tires is 15 years old .I use non ethanol and run it dry before storing. I paid around $1200 at TSC around 2010? Pull it with my BX24. Soon to be a GR2100

OK, I found the boot kit for a 60" BX2380.... it's $400. SO. My local dealer has it for $1333. All that said it's time to see if I can make one from some 16ga steel I have sitting around.

creatitvely cutting of a 5 gallon plastic bucket might work. I've done that in the past.....

Thats some serious price gouging. Don't think I would do business them.
