BX 23
Been waiting on my friend that I dug a pond for last month to send me the photos of the BX in action moving some rocks around. Here is the first of a few. More are in my album.

The last one for here, check the album. The BX never even grunted. The guy I did this for told me that to rent a track hoe at the pond store he went to was 160.00 a day. With moving the rocks after the fact he would have had 3 days in it. I did not charge him for any of it, even trailered the tractor to his place, over 30 miles one way. The other factor is he would have had to learn to use the trac hoe, without tearing up his place. His pond is 24x30 and 3' deep in the middle. It was fun to do!

Nice job! I never would have imagined that I would have moved so many rocks this winter with mine. Nice use of the chains and straps ... I never could get the rocks to stay tied up and had to make my thumb.
Cheers!

How about a picture of your thumb...... the one on the tractor, not your hand.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My dog points out that the stone in the first picture looks suspiciously like a bone he buried

The wife of my friend was especially proud of that one. One of his dogs must have thought the same thing. He came home one day and his dog had dug a hole........in his liner. He was not happy

Yeah, they had never seen a "real" tractor before. And no I am not so bad an operator that I would set it on him.
