Nice Front Hitch for BX Series

[manonthehill]

I got this front hitch from A&K Adventures on eBay. He made it special but it should fit all BX models. It cost $39 plus shipping. It痴 great if you have implements on your 3-point hitch. Should also work with loader attached.

That is pretty neat. Does it come with the hitch too?

It looks good. I like how they shortened the receiver and hitch so it does not stick out so far. I really like the 2" ball receiver combined with a flat bar for towing a small lawn cart.

It looks nice, but how can you see to hook up ? With the grill guard gone, aren't you afraid to punch a hoe in the front with trailer tongue since you can't see ?

Nice idea but it leaves me wondering if it's a good idea to drop a trailer tongue onto your front end. I would avoid trailering anything with a significant tongue weight as this would be all over your front axle. I'm sure someone out there knows the front axle capacity of the BX series. Maybe I'm over-concerned but I'd like to hear some logical reassurance.

A FFL puts a lot of strain on the front axle, too. I wouldn't worry about it.

Well, I guess if you can put a 400 lb loader on it and another 400+ lbs in the bucket, it should carry a pretty heavy trailer tongue.

Yes, It comes with the hitch and mounting hardware.

I keep the tongue low when hitching up. I've been lucky so far.

I think it will hold up. I use it mostly for moving trailers around.
