Thanks buddy. Bought the BX25D New Year's Eve. The wife said I should get it for my birthday so who am I to argue :D Its still sitting on the showroom floor because they are waiting for the options to arrive. I also ordered a chipper/shredder and that showed up there last week. I'm in no rush. Won't be using it until spring.


That's great! I had a BX2660 that I truly miss. They are fantastic for yard work. I had the Kubota frame mount snow plow, and that little guy surprised me all the time. It pushed through a drift up to it's hood. :thumbsup:

High compression: quick aside, nice front weight box on the 5740. Are those inserts concrete or something else?
Very nicely color coordinated, I know 4Shorts would approve. Drew

He got some nice equipment there but Drew I think It's a 3030 and not a 5740.

No way could I wear something like that around my tractors, too much grease and it seems to leap from the tractor to my shirts. I have my summer wear T-shirts for work that I keep separate from my other T-shirts for wearing when we go out. They all have grease stains and holes from grinding or welding. Some are even rust stained, sweat will rust grinder dust very quickly. I finally wore out all of my old denim shirts and need to break in a new one, but wifey doesn't like me to use anything new for working in the shop and now I am down to new denim or new cotton blend dress shirts that I used to wear to work in the office. I guess I need to go to Goodwill and buy some old clothes.

Very nice shirt.....DO NOT WELD in this shirt.....repeat.....DO NOT WELD in this shirt! Tell your wife...good job!:thumbsup:

After looking at that shirt, I now understand why my wife spent all that time goggleyed looking at that fancy do all sewing machine the other day. I guess women need fancy tools too.

That is one nice shirt! :thumbsup: My wife of 43 years took me to town and had me buy a set of Carhart overalls that are NOT to enter the house. Says she loves me just fine, but keep the grease outside. :D

I know what you mean Gary. I think my wife is doing this thinking I'll look after it better and not be tempted to weld with it on. But an old pair of boots or an old T shirt is always so much more comfortable

Very nice shirt.....DO NOT WELD in this shirt.....repeat.....DO NOT WELD in this shirt! Tell your wife...good job!:thumbsup:

Thanks. She just might put DO NOT WELD on it lol, She enjoyed reading the post :thumbsup:

Oh man. After our two sons got out on their own we converted one of their rooms over to a scrapping,sewing and craft room for the wife. Well today it's got all kinds of high tech equipment in it for her hobbies. kind of looks like NASA control center but she enjoys it so that's really all that matters.

That is one nice shirt! :thumbsup: My wife of 43 years took me to town and had me buy a set of Carhart overalls that are NOT to enter the house. Says she loves me just fine, but keep the grease outside. :D

Wow Lew. 43 years! Very nice to read that. I tend to burn things up more than get greasy :laughing:
My wife is getting good at this stuff. She say Orange is the color for 2013 because it's in the stores everywhere. She did this 4 into one windbreaker for me.

Well Paul it looks like your wife does as nice of work as you do, just with different materials. I can't wait to see what improvements you find to do to the BX25.

Hey Bill. Thanks. I'll let her know. Ya she's pretty talented, much more than I am lol. Been building a few things for the new BX but to the point where I need the machine in the shop for fitment. Don't really want it yet because I don't have enough room in the shop at this point. I told the Kubota guys last week to leave it on there show room floor at least til the first week of March then bring it out whenever they want after that. There great guys to deal with and the little tractor is comfortable there. :thumbsup:
Nice hearing from you buddy.

Well Drew you just might be right seeing we just got our new forecast. Our snow was supposed to be turning to rain but this storm changed paths and now it going to be a bad bugger. :shocked:
It's going to start at noon today. Bring it on. Killer is fuelled up and hungry :D

not a day fit for man or beast....
sure hope all the fishing boats are in.
This is the kind of weather I dream of being on the QEII or some other capable
Cunard liner coming back from Europe. I like rough weather, it's just more interesting, particularly
when I'm not driving and am warm and comfortable. Bring on the canapes... someday.

I bet there will be a lot of wives making extra coffee and hot chocolate today. Ok, that was sexist, sorry.
but I think you get my drift. Stay warm and dry out there.
