Re: Bro-Tek Attachments advices?

Your going to LOVE the BX25...

...
The ripper tooths I have seen are ok if you just want to "rip" . I will
be making a one up on them soon, plans are done.

Artisan, I can't want to see what that one looks like given the stuff you have already done. Post an image of your plan to get us drooling.

I have a BX and got spacers from Christian .. speaking of dual adapters check this Iseki setup http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/iseki/249713-dual-wheel-adaptors.html won't fit a BX but may give some ideas

I was very impressed w/ Christian...

Willi what size spacers did you get?
Front and Back?
I would love to see some pics w/ them on!

Thank You for the input!

I got the spacers after a recommendation from a fellow TBN member "OrangeRidge" .. thanks mate!
got 2" rears as my mower deck gauge wheels prevent going any wider .. I don't mow very steep, but its good to know they are there ..

I bought the Bro-Tek rear wheel 2" spacers a couple months back and it's made all the difference in the world to me. My property is pretty much on a 15 to 20 degree slope for the full 5 acres I have. I do have some areas with more slope, however I'm still uncomfortable sideways in those areas.

I would love to see a picture or few maybe from the front and rear w/ those spacers on!

Thanx for the input too!

I now have proper front and rear BX25 2" Receiver Hitches.
Here are pics of the rear unit. Front Hitch in a few days. They are
available from HERE.

I have completed the main frame build for my rollbar.
Paint will be applied. This my favorite "Goodie" to date.
Perhaps because I made it.

It looks good. Does it feel more top heavy now?

 

[Artisan]

I can feel it yes, what is the width OE, 44.5" ? Yep I feel it.
I have the rear wheel weights that I will add which themselves weigh
more than the roll-cage, maybe adding wheel spacers too. I put on a
rear hitch and I have a front hitch going as well, all add to ballast
to counter it. I need to get a few projects finished up then
I will address the undercarriage protection, which will add even more ballast.

The steering rack NEEDS protection and no one makes
anything that that I know of that provides proper protection for it.
The rear diff/trans needs a rock guard too and of corse the center
is wide open so I have a lot to consider, oh, plus the MMM PTO
needs to be utilized too... HA! I hate to see that MMM PTO not
used. Gotta invent something cool for it!

10 pounds of sugar stuffed in a 5 pound sugar bag is tough!
But webe makin' it happen!

That looks great! :thumbsup:

Thanx for the compliments CTF! I disassembled the cage today for
the last time and it was washed, primered and coat #1 of paint has
been applied.

On another "front";

I got another item done, I designed and built a Front Receiver Hitch
that sandwiches the push-bar and the frame as well. I
ran the 2" receiver tube as far back as I could and notched
the top of it to clear the OE center axle pivot bolt. This
will increase the survivability if running at full ramming speed
and if I ram something! Plus my winch will not be tearing
this up any time soon I do believe!

Brad, I really like the sandwiched and rear supports. Im just worried it will dig in when rolling down and up threw a ditch for example. I know I have run just my grille gaurd into things with a steep approach. Just a thought?

I have a wedge deal you plug into it to thwart just that...

 

[bcp]

You could make a plug-in bracket to hold a concrete-filled pipe for ballast.

I really like the rear reciever. Built like a brick poop house. Jery needs to get those up for sale on his site.

Artisan,

Wow, this thread is like a one-man show! Great stuff. High Quality. Ever think you are in the wrong business?

 

[radioman]

artisan- Good stuff! good ideas. the only thing I am concerned about is the wieght of both grill guard and hitch when trying to remove and reinstall both same time in same holes when you want to remove the side bonnet from tractor. How diffucult was it for you to install both same time. was your hitch sandwiched tight enough that it will hold guard so you can lift both via grill guard when installing?

Can't wait to see it once it's painted! :thumbsup:
