3-Point Hitch BX Series 3 Point Hook Up

[NC419N]

Is there anyone out there that makes a retrofit for the BX series machines so that the 3 point hook up is not such a pain in the *** ? I have read post here and there of such a system but have yet to track down who or where to find it. Thanks in advance

Mark Hodge built my customer stabilizer kit. Best mod I've ever had, bar none.

I understand some of the guys are buying kits designed for the B series from TractorSmart and adapting them. Have no idea how much is involved with that.

I hope he's ok. I read last night he's taking a break from making any more.

Now the question. Is there anyone besides Mark that offers a "Kit" for these machines?

I would email Mark just to see if he's taking orders again. He's a great guy I'm sure he wouldn't mind letting you know either way.

The telescoping stabilizers look appealing. My one question is how do you tighten them up if the holes do not line up exactly, right with the correct amount of tension?

 

[NC419N]

On my other tractors they (the holes) align pretty snugly if that is the correct term any rate they are "tight enough" to prevent excess side to side movement with the implements that I am using. On my newest Kioti there is a slotted hole to allow some movement. It has to be an improvement over the factory set up!!

I just put on my quick hitch once and fudgeaboutit.

The holes on both the male and female pieces are staggered giving a very large number of variations in adjustment, including several with some slack.

I use mine on my rear blade and can match both sides with a pin to keep it maxed out to either side or dead on in the middle. There are 5 holes in the outer bar and must be 4 or 5 on the inner one.

Did you contact Mark and find anything out from him.

You just pull a pin and they swing all over where you need them. Turnbuckles need a wrench. Go watch the video and you'll see.

Here is how I did my DX2660.

Mark Hodge removed his video from YouTube. He is out of the Stabilworks biz for now.

Dang it! Waited too long...maybe we can start a petition and get BXpanded or someone to start making them.

Oh - that's a real shame. I have two sets of his Stabilworks on a pair of tractors that had the turnbuckles and it made PITA implement hitching-up much faster & less troublesome. Plus, Mark is a model small business owner, in terms of being honest and standing behind his product.

As stated in the quick-hitch thread, store your implements on moving dollies. Roll them into place and hook 'em up. Opposite to remove. Takes all of a minute or two at worst.
