Happy Birthday!

[JimCald]

My BX1500 is exactly 1 year old today. I have managed to put 145 hrs on it, pretty light by tractor standards, but enjoyed every one of them. I use it mostly for mowing and it does a great job.

That's quite a set of teeth for a one year old /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
So, what does one give as a birthday gift to a one year old?

All the best,
Martin

I think you better start saving up for an orthodontist. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

They are from Markham Welding. In my browsing these forums, it sounded like a good idea to increase the "bite" of this relatively small machine. An with the very hard clay soil here in western VA, they have come in pretty handy.

I was thinking of a big truckload of fill dirt.

Attachment bolt from the outside. Note the re-enforcement plate. It can be welded to the bucket, but mine is not.

jim, where did you purchase your toothbar and what did it cost /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I ordered it form Markham Welding. Their web site is here:

Markham Welding

It was almost a year ago, so I don't remember the exact price, but it was around 150 - 175, with freight. They ship via truck to the nearest trunk depot, which in my case was about 40 miles away. They also do home delivery for an extra charge.
