Woods clearing bx 23

[BXpanded]

I just dont want to order the under armour if its not compatible with your rear plate in place.

I'm a bit confused... What rear plate? If you're referring to our Quick-On Receiver Hitch, yes, it's compatible.

There are several other aftermarket suppliers that make items for the BX. If you are asking about fit with one of those items, I'm sorry, I just don't know.

Sorry my bad. The rear skid plate was from someone else. My apology

I bought my first RatchetRake a few years ago for a B3200 which is the bigger one. I think there are two widths or sizes. I sold the B3200 and bought a BX25 so I sold the bigger RatchetRake and bought the smaller one for my BX25. It hangs over the edges a bit but that has never been a problem for me. My neighbor currently is using it on his BX2350. The RatchetRake is my most used implement beside my FEL and BH and the easiest on and off by myself.
To clear brush, you drive straight forward with the bigger straight ahead teeth and then drop the bucket, tilt the bucket front down and back drag using the smaller teeth across the bottom.
It doesn't bolt on so it doesn't have to be the exact size as the front egde of the bucket like most/some toothbars. The smaller one should fit a BX FEL bucket of any size.

As JOHNTHOMAS stated, the 52 inch will fit your BX23. That's the size I use also. Not sure if you can see it hanging off the sides in my avatar.

That is VERY interesting!!!

It looks like you push in flat, the bottom rakes/rips and the top edge cuts thicker materials.

Then you tilt the bucket down and backdrag both edges to clear.

Right?

Thanks again.

This is some of what I am clearing...

You have the correct procedure. If you start using it, you will quickly develop what works best. It's also great for ripping out vines and briars that crawl up trees.

Finally found pictures of RatchetRake on my BX.
This is when I had it on the BX2660 before the BX25.

This is my setup for my B8200. I had to mount the Ratchet Rake with (4) 1/2" grade 8 bolts so I could still use my 4-in-1 but it only takes a few minutes to take it off.

If the RR doesn't get it the rippers in the back do.

Wow thanks for the pics gonna stop by tractor supply this weekend and check them out!!

Great product Harry, I put one on my BX2670 after I ran some roots and limbs into the fan and had to have it replaced. I feel much better with the protection now, cannot understand why Kubota does not recommend your product for people purchasing a BX wo belly mower. Also got the piranha tooth and love it as well, much better than strafer teeth.

Don't go in the woods without it!!!!
Here's a thread with my solution, old thread, but the skid plate is still working, easy on and off and above all CHEAP and easy to fab up.
