Our new BX24 arrived just before Thanksgiving. As it is my wife's new tractor, she got to back it off the tilt-bed that delivered it. She's got a bunch of projects in mind as we landscape our property over the next few years, so she wanted a bucket grapple and the backhoe.
We have an American Solutions grapple that I need to install, plus we got a Bro-Tek thumb, ripper tooth with plow, and both skid plates. We also got a Woods 48 box blade, a Gearmore 60 landscape rake, a Bearcat 70554 chipper, and a Ramsplitter 16-ton 3-point splitter. I also opted for a full hydraulic tilt and top set-up with a 2-spool remote valve mounted by my right elbow.
We have both gotten some seat time doing little jobs including both loader and backhoe work. The backhoe is definitely harder to get smooth with and coordinate all the functions. It seems like a great little machine.
Next up is to level out a pad for a portable garage canopy and finish contouring an access road we had cut from one end of our property to the other across a sideways sloping area.
This forum has been invaluable with all the advise about what to look for when taking delivery (step reinforcing kit, new seat, etc.), maintenance, and the best attachments. Thanks to all.
