Do any of you guys have any sugestions on lighting for rear backhoe opperation? I just bought the machine and am getting everything in place for when it arrives.

price is a tad high IF it without the 3 pt blade, otherwise its a average price for the BX24. It really varies from region to region.

Interesting on price. I have a line on a BX25 for $15,000 but without any attachments except BH. Is that too much for the 25?

Look under the tractor and see that all of the HSt cooling fan blades are intact. See if it has a skid plate to protect that fan. Having the fan blades snap off when driving over small sticks a common problem on the BX24. A dealer repair to move the engine to replace the ~$13 fan will cost upwards of $400. I think they charge 5 hours of shop time.

How much for your bx24? I checked the fan blades they are all ok.

Cubowner,
I have A BX22 & added Quick-On Work Light Kit 3-6" for nighttime operation. I CAN tell you that they are great! :thumbsup: Trying to work at night without adding lights isn't the smartest thing I've ever done, adding them was. :licking: I also had to replace the obnoxious little HST fan. At the same time I installed http://www.bro-tek.biz/skid_plates/ rear plate. No troubles since.
T-Man.

I used a magnetic mounted worklight on my BX and thought it worked very well. I got it from Northern tools for about $25. It would stick to the rops with a pretty strong magnet and I could easily adjust it in any direction from the seat. The magnet was strong enough that I never had any troubles with it coming off. It had a cigarette lighter plug so I would just plug it in the socket when i wanted to use it, and unplug it when I was done.
