My first tractor (BX25)

[Blufrog]

Well as a kid my dad had a smaller Kubota on the two acres I grew up on and I got lots of seat time on that. However now with my own family we are on about 4 acres and lots of trees around us so hauling wood and general clean up around the place is getting to much for a wheel barrow. Plus we want to grow our garden and so the small hand tiller will get put away. We have lots of Rhody's to move as well some over a story tall.

Here it is showing up on the truck.

Getting unloaded.

The added tiller

And already put some seat time moving the brush pile back some. We can't do fires here unless very small so most stuff gets dumped into a brush pile. Future is plans to pile it up and chip it with a rental chipper.

I'm gonna have so much fun this summer.

Thanks

Congratulations on the BX25 and equipment, those are nice little tractors.

Congratulations! Of the tractors I've owned, the BX25 is my all time favorite. It's a jewel and so versatile for the home landscaper. Dirt mover. Project guy.

Another congrat's and welcome to the forum. You're gonna love that new BX. On the other thread I saw you mentioned you added a draw bar (or words to that effect). Is that a draw bar bolted to the frame below the PTO, or is it a three point hitch version? I'd be interested in pic's if it's the former. I like those drawbars Kubota offers on the bigger tractors and wish they made one for the BX.

Congratulations. Have fun and be safe.

Thanks everyone, I sure had fun today.

The tow bar is basic that ataches to the 3PH. There is someone local on craigslist that makes a very nice tow bar for $140 and looks much beefier and uses all 3 points of the 3PH, the bar I got just has about 6 holes in it for mounting tow balls onto it and just mounts to the lower points.

The only thing they forgot was the cover piece for over the seat and since we get a lot of rain up here I will order that.

I have one of those if you're interested in seeing one first hand. PM me if you're interested. As for burning, make yourself a semi-permanent fire ring about 5 feet across and burn in the pit with hotdogs and marshmellows on the weekends. That's what we do and the kids love it. Recreational fires are still allowed.:thumbsup:

Rain? Really? I thought I'd replaced my garden with a pond and just forgotten about it. They say the memory is the 2nd thing to go...

Did someone already mention Bro-tek crunch plates?

Enjoy that BX,
