Cross drawbar stabilizer for the BX2200

[Anonymous Poster]

For months I have been looking for a stabilizer for the cross drawbar on my BX2200. I found one that locked the drawbar to the lower 3PH arm but when I got it home it did not fit. I finally decided to collaborate with a local fabricating shop and came up with the stabilizer shown in the attached picture. It works great.

Since there are not many companies that make this device do you think that I could sell them on Ebay? I would need to sell them for at least $60 (primered version) to make a small profit.

When can you ship me one? I want one now. Just let me know what this thing weighs and I will order one now. Just make sure you have some more pictures and instructions for mounting etc. Also, I can't tell by the picture if you can still use the 3PH to lower or raise the drawbar. Let us know....but looks great to me.

Don, per your request here is a picture taken further back so that you can see how the stabilizer attaches to the drawbar and the toplink.

John,

You'd have another taker here for this drawbar stabilizer. Nice job!

I'll take one and I'll bet my dealer could use some as well.

I could use one also. It would have to be CatII, and capable of lifting 2200lbs.. I'd prefer a 2x2 receiver stub in place of the ball, however. That way, I could use a ball hitch, pintle or clevis.

Where did you get the stabilizer bars to replace the chains. Your systems looks a lot easier to adjust than the chains and turnbuckles that came with my BX2200

That's what I was looking at as well. This guy is great! All of the laziness of me, with all of the inititive and hard work to do something about it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

John, you and your fab shop came up with a nice clean design. It shows that they took the time to do a good job, some of the shops around here would have just hacked it together and gave you the feeling they are doing you a favor.
