Can anyone recommend a good set of adjustable side links? I spotted some at TSC the other day; it would be nice to be able to get some tile out of my rear blade and box blade.

Do you mean like these?
StabilWorks
Or like the "Lift Arm Leveling Assembly" in this picture?

Usually you only have one side adjustable with the other side fixed length.

Didn't your BX come with an adjustable link?

You turn it like a turnbuckle.

There are hydraulic versions but of course you'll need a Hydraulic Line available.

I did what I think you are talking about. Needed more lift height so I replace the LH fixed length lifting rod with an adjustable length leveling assembly same as the RH side. I just looked up the P/N and ordered it from Messicks.

I bet you get a lot more tilt with two. Good idea.

Does that provide adequate pitch for your implements?

Yes. I have a 48" tiller, 60" back blade, post hole digger, and 48" plug aerator. This setup accomodates all of them nicely. If pitch becomes an issue, there are shorter and longer top links available. Keep in mind though, Kubota changed the 3PH geometry sometime between the earlier BX models and the current models. They raised the hinge point of the lift arms (where it connects to the tractor frame) by several inches. If anything, this should allow even more tilt.

Great; thanks!
