BX25 FEL bolt on wear edge

[Jeff H]

I want to put a bolt on replaceable wear edge on the FEL of my new BX25 before it sees any use.

Is the 6" hole spacing a standard? I only want to drill once and get it right!

Wear is the best place/price to order a 48" bar from? I don't see it at TSC or Northern Tool.

How does the slip over ez-wear design from H&H compare to the traditional bolt on design? Is that design unique to that manufacturer or do others also make it?

Thanks

Welcome Jeff,
I'm thinking of doing the same thing, I'll keep an eye on your thread. The replaceable cutting edge will bolt to the bottem of your bucket and will have square holes to acomidate the plow bolts. The plow bolts are like carriage bolts but they fit flush on the bottem of the cutting edge. the cutting edge is useually acouple of inches longer than your bucket.

have you considered getting a toothbar instead ? it would help with the wear and tear of the edge. markham sells them.

Yes I have. That's why the H&H product looks interesting, it appears to be easy to switch between their tooth bar and their straight wear edge. From the photos on their website it looks like there is one bolt on each end to hold it on. I was hoping someone here has experience with the product.

I have the H&H toothbar, and would never go without it. I will move it to the new BX (if I buy it this week). I will also buy a wearbar from H&H. Be sure to have them make each bar to share the same mount holes. YES, there is one big 1" bolt, washer, and nut at each end... that's it. I love the way it is so easy to install and remove. Go for it!
