Chris if I had deep pockets I wouldn't be makin' this chiot, I would BUY IT. I kid you not. If I want it I have to figure out a way to get it for less or I simply can't have it. If I had deep pockets I would be paying some of these extreamly talented attachment fabricators to make stuff for me.
Gosh the TACH N GO forks and system looks great. I would have a seperate bucket for each whim, if I could, instead of trying to cram 10 pounds of manure into a 5 pound manure bag! :laughing: You have a guy making nice stuff to. I sure do wish all of them had one standard quick attachmnet main plate, (QA) and just built attachements though.
I have to take the toolbar off to use the forks and vice versa OR I get to move two teeth on the toothbar, oh well, just a thang plus all this WEIGHS and the lifting capacity of the BX25 is not one of it's strong points, tis why if I could I would have a different attachment for each whim.
Learning Curves; that greenNyella wire mesh basket I made plus that firewood is all's the tractor will lift. The brackerty, grapple mount, pins, hardware, and forks weigh almost 100 pounds and every pound you add subrtacts from the lifting capacity o fthe FEL. I guess I shouldn't biotch, that basket is a beast.
But leason be learned, I was gonna be sly and make a basket on the cheap, I paid 56 bucks for enough commercial shelving wire sections to make it then I found out how much freakin' steel costs. Oh man...I think I am in that basket almost 300 bux. Another mistake I made was to give the metal supply guy a list of materials cut to length, that was about 80 bux of it. THEN I ran out of .35 MIG wire, so I go to buy it and realize I needed a small roll for backup, so when I run out I can keep going and order more without having to stop, so a large roll of .35 wire, a small roll of .35 wire, two new pair of gloves welding gloves and some other trinket added almost 200 MORE BUX to it! LOL Oh man, ya can't win for loosin' .
This is my first tractor and probably not my last...we be a learnin'. :confused2:
