Borrowing Friends Front End Loader for BX

[kpbeddin]

I have a good friend with a BX-2230 (with LA-211 FEL) who is grateful enough to let me use any of his equipment. I was wondering what I would need to purchase/add to my BX-2200 to allow a quick changeover of the FEL between our tractors.

Why don't you 2 just trade tractors when you need a FEL ?

Agree with LBrown as it will take a lot of money to put the attachment points on your frame and run the hydraulic lines or at least it did on my BX2200. The new ones come with hydraulic lines, but you still have to buy the hard points..

hate to say it, but I agree with lbrown. Unless you already have all the nesscary connections on yours and all you need to do is pick up the FEL, you probably would have done this by now. The only thing I would be concerned is who uses UDT fluid and who uses SUDT. I would hate the thought of anyone mixing UDT in my SUDT system. If you are going to go through all the trouble of gettings lines installed for the FEL if you dont have it yet, Why not get your own FEL? I am sure most of us here will agree that having yor own FEL is the greatest thing to own on your tractor. I am still using mine all the time for everything and I dont worry about when I need it. I use the BX 90% of time in summer for mowing and love the FEL when needed the other 10% of time and it feels like 100% of time LOL!

Swapping tractors between freinds wouldn't be a bad way to go if you can manage.

I agree with this totally.
