Since I have a
BX25 I've followed this post from time to time. At first I couldn't figure out exactly what was damaged and how. Finally figured out the BH Bucket was being used under an object , the hydraulics of the tractor would not do the job so with the BH bucket still hooked to the immovable object the operator raised his front bucket and arms and tried moving it by the power of the wheels getting traction. OK, I moved on and have came back from time to time to view the thread.
Yesterday I dug some holes for my Brother next door, went into my woods and dug up about 4 trees for him that he had marked, took them to his holes, dropped them in and then proceeded to dig up the Grasses he wanted gone that I wanted for my yard. Moved the grasses to my yard, dug holes, pushed grasses into holes, covered the grasses back up (did get off the tractor one time to move one of the smaller grasses) and started back to my tractor garage.
Remembered the job I had needed done was move a decorative tree that has about a 3" to 4" trunk. Beautiful tree but wife wanted it gone from near pool. So, dug around tree, pulled and pulled under it and finally got it loose enough to rock but couldn't get the hydraulics to muster enough strength to pull it on out, just needed a "little" bit more. Pondered what to do and decided the traction of the wheels may add enough power to pop it on out and had a good hook on it with the BH bucket. Raised front bucket, raised legs and started trying to pull it out and then..........WOW this is what the person on TBN done that damaged their
BX25 BH!!:ashamed: :ashamed: Yes, I immediately stopped and finally dug it out enough to pop it out of the ground with the BH. This thread in this forum probably saved me some expense. Glad I read it and FINALLY remembered it.
This is the reason I like for people to post questions instead of doing searches. After seeing things posted more than one time, after doing a job that I've never done before and then start reading tthreads that apply to the machine I currently own is a help to me and I'm sure to others that are just joining or traded machines or have started doing a new to them job and sees an article about that job.
