Hanging my firewood up to dry
This one was trying to get away, but I caught it by the tail. I started using the bh to control the oversize load of logs that was delivered and left in an unstable pile. I was just trying to move this one and couldn't believe the BH-70X would actually lift it and close tight enough to pick it up with the thumb. Yes, it is clear up in the air.

Whoa, careful with your loads! That's a lot of torque trying to rotate your BH bucket/thumb. Impressive though.

Re: Hanging my firewood up to dry
that digger you have, is it driven by it's own hydrolic pump or off of the tractors?

Re: Hanging my firewood up to dry
Nice pics. It's amazing what they will lift.
I have the Woods BH70-X on my Kioti CK35. I really like being able to pick up logs and cut them standing upright, great for my back.

Re: Hanging my firewood up to dry
Yea, I wasn't actually trying to lift it at first, the pile came down on the tractor (you can see one log up against it in one of the pics) and I was just trying to push some back out of my way. I couldn't believe it was starting to lift it, so I just kept going. I normally pick them up in the middle.
It runs off the tractor, it just connects to one of the rear remotes.

Re: Hanging my firewood up to dry
Yes, the thumb on the backhoe must be one of the great inventions of the century! I have been using my BH-90 on my L4330 for cutting logs into firewood for two years now and would not go back to crawling around on the ground!
