Pulling attachments with BX series...

[TresCrows]

Hi, I am planning purchase of either a BX1500 or a BX2200. It is a replacement for a JD318. On my JD, I often tow a small trailer or various equipment behind it (aerator, sprayer, dethacher, etc.) I need to do the same with the BX. How do you guys accomplish this? It seems to me that the 3-point-hitch gets in the way of these attachments.


By using implements designed to be used with a 3-point. Most of the trail behind equipment like from Home Depot is to light duty for use with a BX.
There is a hitch point/drawbar on the BX which can mount a ball or use a clevis. You can also use the three point mounted drawbar b ut if you intend on using a ball you will need to rig a brace to the top link to stabilize it as well. Why not just use 3-poit equipment? J

If you move up to 3pt attachtments you'll get better results.

Agreed. Where and how can purchase be arranged?

I have a trailer i pull with my BX and the drawbar is too close to the ground, so i came up with this solution. I have a hitch that plugs into the 2 in. receiver that has a ball and a hole for a clevis or a pin.
