Got a little too brave with my new BX...

[rexcramer]

My new BX2360 was delivered on Friday, and it is the first SCUT I have ever driven. I LOVE the smooth power steering and the hydraulics are faster than I thought they would be. I operate some very large equipment for a living, including 345 Cat excavators and 988 Cat loaders, so this will take a little getting used to.

Anyways some pics:

OK now this is less than five minutes after the dealer leaves. I decided to take the kid for a ride through the trails and over estimated the 4WD a bit. The main problem though was the back blade does not go very high and made one helluva anchor. Of course this is when my whole family comes over to check the new machine out lol

Love the machine though

Hey you got to find out the limits on that thing don't you? Just tell the family you did that on purpose. Now you can use the FEL to push or pull you out of the pit.. Having the back blade on well next time you might need a hydraulic tilt put on it by then.

That looks like a nice rig.

Is it possible that you could have temporarily shortened the 3pt top link way up to get some extra altitude out of the back blade?

Looks to me like a stout chain and that big yellow one in the first picture is your next move.

Then a bath for the poor thing.

Wombat125,
OK, this is getting crazy. I viewed your profile and you're from Denver which is my hometown. Get out of here. We owned a house in Montbello for six years when I was stationed at Buckley Air Force Base. Graduated from GHS in 84. Are you a Colorado native ???

You should have made up a story about one of your kids doing this....
