I pull my top link up and out of the way (tie it off somewhere) and I have the pat's easy change on my lift arms. So I connect the lift arms first, then after those are secured then I lower my top link and attach it. I then attach my pto shaft, but I presume you could do the pto shaft and then top link, but that's not how I've done it.

Hi, it connects like any other category 1 3 point hitch attachment does. If you need to see how that works, yes I can provide that. Please let me know if you still want to see it.

I found a tractorbynet website where someone used a 3/4" shackle for the bottom quick hitch pins and they have some pictures, but if I remember correctly YT doesn't allow me to paste a url in here. I'll try it but if you don't see one, you may need to google for it. Botajames TractorByNet.com thread 418527. www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/quick-hitch-for-betstco-flail-mower.418527/

Thank you, I had fun doing it. I hate making mistakes so it probably could have been done much faster by someone else. I hope I'm understanding your question about the FF correctly. In most cases I used quick connects and they were female, so where necessary I did use nipples. For instance I did have to extend the hose from the manifold down to my top link and I used 2 different lengths together so that it would be long enough not to stretch the hoses, but I did not use any quick connects there. The top link had some kind of great britan (GB) port and I had to mickey mouse several connectors to get the hose permanently connected to it. But where I am connecting to the tractor from the manifold I used quick connects on both ends and those needed nipples. If I didn't understand the question correctly please feel free to ask it again. You are right that my hoses do need some protection and I keep forgetting to buy some. As for swapping top to bottom ports, one of the hoses that came with the Summit manifold had an 90 deg bend already, and I decided to use that and it would really only work on the top. I had originally planned to go from the bottom of the manifold but I could certainly change that around. Thanks for posting...

@@tekker8308 All of that is understood. My question is, what body size quick couplers are you using from manifold to tractor? Since most are 1/4" body on the BX

@@jeffalba3940 Sorry to have misunderstood the question. You are right, they are 1/4". If I said otherwise I was wrong. I have 1/4" at all points around the tractor, I hope that helps.

@@tekker8308 very much so sir, thank you

Oh no, I brought it up to your neighbor, so you'll have to ask him. 😉

I'm not one to kiss and tell. 😁

@@tekker8308 LOL I understand great job anyways my friend great video

I was surprised that there wasn't as much gravel underneath being pulled up, but the owner wants to remove 2 or 3 inches and add more later. That will be fun. Thanks for checking in. You have a gravel/dirt road don't you?

@@tekker8308 I do have a 70 yard long gravel driveway, I may touch it up this summer. Looks like you have a nice project on the go... one day when I am home more, I will start side jobs.

@@ticklemeorange8328 Are you not home often?

Hey buddy, I'm fixing the sewer, wanna help? 😆

@@tekker8308 Sort of lol... It would be fun though.

Hi friend, actually I think I did, but I know that the bucket was on a pallet and the stand was lower - on the grass, and then over the winter it sunk further into the grass and thus it was too low. But I can see how it might appear that way.

@@tekker8308 Ahhh i see, it just dug into the soft ground. Hope you got it all hooked up now.

@@ticklemeorange8328 I was able to, after pulling up on the side, that really helped. I was however contemplating buying a few extension hoses but found pulling up on the side would work.

Thanks Brother!

Hahaha that's funny. I would have to be smart enough to carry a pocket knife first.

Composite decking doesn't sound cheap, but it would sure beat the price of buying from Kubota. I'll have to take a look at them the next time I'm at Lowes.

@@tekker8308 How much did you pay for that length of steel you just bought? I went with the composite boards because it was easy to get, and alot easier to work with.

@@D70340 It was like $15 bucks. I could have cut it myself but chose to have them do it and with tax it came out to $25 for 2 lengths. I also had to buy some counter sink bolts, but on ebay they were $9. Then to drill the holes and a couple of drill bits and probably saved myself $200.

Your right, I'm not getting paid, and the maintenance will surely start adding up.

@@tekker8308 Yeah, i`ve been there and done it. I don`t offer anything up anymore. Nobody ever shows up with help or money when your stuff is broken. Lesson learned long ago. Don`t do it.

You are right and the new metal cutting edge I bought isn't holding up as well as I hoped. I'm close to uploading a short video about that. But I also found out that I need to inspect the shoes, shoe bolts and cutting edge bolts before going out. The shoes were giving way because the nuts came off and the cutting edge was taking a beating because the shoes weren't properly adjusted and all but one cutting edge bolt came off before I noticed it hanging barely by that last one.

Let me try and find the paperwork. It was ordered with the tractor and mower deck and I'll have to see if i can find a price broken out.

Its in the $5,000 ballpark. I was going to get one for my BX23s, until they gave me the quote on it. NOPE, i don`t need it THAT bad.

Retired OldMan reminded me to look this up. Mine was 6340 and I know they added labor into that price for install.

@@D70340 yeah mine was a bit more, nothing comes down and everything goes up.🙄

The forever compromise, size and power. I was tempted to get a B or maybe M model due to power, but they just wouldn't work in my lot and situation. I envy the power of the L series. The BX front loader max lifting weight is something like 650 lbs which is only a few bags of 80lb concrete and not much use for some real work, but I make due. Thanks for the comment!

I know I love mine, it's a good size even though I would like something that can lift a lot more.

You are right. When I was looking for a tractor one of my primary goals was to fit on the sidewalk. That's not a normal "need" for a tractor. LOL

@@tekker8308 yeah holders c75 fits too but sure dont want pay rediculas $209,000 for one thats for sure thats why kubotas are the #1 cheapest affordable side walk machine on market

Living in the suburbs gives me a chance to be nice to many. But yeah it was a bit of work and I love that the cab is heated. Mine doesn't roast me though so I wonder if mine is different than others who say it's too hot. Thanks for the comment, and I hope to see more of your winter activities.

Thanks for the comment, it took longer than I expected but was a pretty good experience.

And hopefully many more to come! Thanks

I probably do have a great dealer, but the supply chain issues sure drive me crazy. Fall is almost here and no mid mount mower yet but that's not his fault I guess. What a world.

Once I got them on, I've not had the need to remove them yet. :)

It was fun, but that's probably it for this season.

Maybe that's why I paid so much! LOL

Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't sure which ones to use, I'll try it out. 😀

I will if I don't die of old age before they arrive. 😁 Thank you so much for subscribing, that's awesome.

@@tekker8308 Lol I remember it taking quite a while to get my toothbar from bxpanded too. Have a great day!
