simple ideas for transporting bcs 852 detached from mower?

BGigHarbor · Oct 7, 2013

I have a need to trailer my bcs 852 as compact as possible sometimes. That means detaching the attachment (mower) to fit it into the trailer better.

Any simple ideas to have my 852 stand up "normally" without an attachment holding up the pto? Also the tires are slightly taller than stock.

Ideally I would have kind of a kickstand that mounts to the pto quick coupler.

Won't the stand need to be under the engine not on the pto?

I just clamp a jack stand to the engine brush bar. it does need to be under the engine, not at the PTO.

I assume you have a Quick Disconnect for your attachments? If you do buy an extra attachment side Quick Disconnect and screw it to the back wall of the trailer at the height of the PTO shaft. Then you can drive the tractor into the trailer and Quick Connect it right to the wall of the trailer. Or you could do something similar with the Quick Disconnect mounted to a piece of tubing that is bolted to the floor if you want the mounting point on the trailer to be somewhere other than the wall of the trailer.

If you get a piece of round hollow section the size of the attachment side quick hitch and put a hole in it for your quick hitch pin and weld it to your trailer. Like what oughtsix said but home made.
