Me and my BX have a new home

[fishpick]

I have posted about some of the exploits me and my BX24 have had since we fell in love and she came home with me back in July (wife still wants to know if I want to sleep with the tractor).

Well - I'm happy to let this awesome community know I'm helping you out by moving to a new house with 34 acres, a barn and a 1/4 mile long driveway here in Upstate NY. I'm proud to admit I'll be asking many more questions and opinions and posting a lot more photographs for you to discuss and comment on.

SO - I'm not asking - yes - I think a BX24 can handle 34 acres - and I'll report my escapades over the coming years!

Congrats to you and the Mrs. on your new homestead fishpick.
34 acres w/1/4 mile driveway....well than should keep the BX happy puttering around.

Hmmm... the way I read it, did the Mrs. come along? You said it was you and the BX, did she decide your affair with your tractor was too much???

Congradulations on the new homestead! Now if you were from NYC upstate would mean anywhere north of the tapanzee Bridge, but I am assuming you mean you are way north of Albany! You will need to fire up that BX if winter changes over the next week or so.

Oh for the days of being in the north country and a stranger would pull up and ask about someone that lives there and wonder if we know where they can find him. Our direct answer was always "What ya want him for"!

Also a place where gun racks in the back window hold guns and not levels!

Enjoy and keep us updated.

Congrat's on your new home.
Even though you are not ready to admit it yet. I see a bigger tractor in the future.

The wife came along... and she and I are set up for a battle royale... Do I putter on the BX... or do I put down 1200 sq ft of hardwoods for her... see where I'm going... does the 30x40 pole barn get a concrete floor... or do I put in Corian with my fabricator buddy... see - pattern here?
Honestly - we are excited.
and ronjhall - you will get me shot with talk like that... (shhh, the Grand L's are NICE...)

It's easy to try to spend someone else's money.................

I'd keep the Bota, and try to pick up a used utility tractor. If you have rough mowing, a 6ft bush hog, and heck, maybe even a loader............

You can park them both in the machine shed you're building.

Have fun,
ron

Ditto's...It is unavoidable, it is your desitny.

Enjoy the 34 acres. That is a real nice size. Congrats!

Did I say I was building a shed...
It comes with a 30x40 pole barn - only need to pour the floor... Thinking ahead I will be pouring one bay to accommodate a lift sometime in the future... Then there's the snowplow truck... ohh, and my wood shop...
Yup - I need a shed...

Congratulations on the new house ! I am glad your wife decided to come along . A good thing about sleeping with tractors is that they will not take your blankets while sleeping during those long and cold winter nights . Jay

PS: I also see another tractor in your life ; watch your family jewels .

Tractors don't snore and they don't care if you look at another tractor either. They don't even care if you buy another

Congrats, Fishpick.
We're getting bit by a similar bug and have decided to build on our 20 acres this fall. We were going to build it in a few years, but as you can see from my tagline below, we are getting tired of noisy neighbors in our subdivision.
We're keepin' the BX also!
I think we'll end up with about an acre of lawn, about 3 acres of meadow and about 1 mile of forested trail to maintain. That should be right up the BX's alley.

Congratulations on the new homestead. If you are sly enough, and the time may come when you need a little bigger lawnmower, tell the wife that she can "use" the BX if she agrees to let you get the BX a big brother.
Just give her the IDEA that the BX is hers, and you are a hero to her, you have a brand new toy, and only you will know the evil truth. Best of both worlds.
I'm rotten for even thinking of this.
Happy tractoring.

To quote Chief Brody from "Jaws"....."We're gonna' need a bigger boat" (Tractor)

Enjoy
