I like that crew! At $100hr, that tree cost about $6.50 to take down.

Gotta luv that BX working! Are you also guilty of working the BH from the forward looking seat position?

Oh ya. I do it often. That's what I miss about a real backhoe, being able to just turn the seat around from front to back but I'm happy enough to do it this way. :dance1:

Now that's how to take down a tree. Those bucket trucks sure come in handy for that sort of thing. Cool!

Do you all find the BX25 noisy? I ran one today at the dealer and was surprised how much I had to crank it up.

At what RPM are you talking about? I run mine around 2500rpm or a little lower if I am not taxing it. Above 2500 it does get a little noisy for me but I don't have experience with other tractors to gauge it.

Well I never really finished the story so I'll tell it now. My buddy was in terrible shape after messing in his hood. You just knew it wasn't Avon calling when he walked in the cabin. The cabin was under construction. Outside was completed but inside just had pink insulation between the studs. No running water and a wood stove. We had a very limited supply of tissue and after that he was still in awful shape so he opted to wipe himself with some pink insulation. Well not only did he smell really bad he was starting to itch really bad. Ever see and old dog infested with flees? SAME THING. It was God awful.
We had only arrived and had to head back to town 25 miles away. Oh the name calling he had to deal with for years after that :laughing:

that brought back memories, some thirty five years ago my father in law came home from hunting and we were all gathered around the fire place so as he pasted through the house he waved and said he was going to get a shower said he had been smelling ---- all day. when he got to the bath room and took his insulated suit off he found out why it was all in the collar. had not thought of that in years and it is still funny.

Oh ya. I did. I have to say "did" because I got used to it but when I first started operating it I found it brutally loud because I was so used to the Kubota 5740 and 4240 cab. Even now when I get back in the cab it's like a relief to get away from the noise. That being said I love the little tractor and I do wear hearing protection on it as wll on the ZTR.

I run mine about the same. Sometimes a touch bit higher.

:laughing: glad you posted. It shows this kind of thing actually do happen :laughing: oh there's so many stories and I have so many

Yeah my L3830 is MUCH quieter than the BX. Actually the BX is one of the loudest tractors I have operated. Not sure where all that racket is coming from!

4Shorts... Got a great mod idea for u.... Silencer kit for the BX!
