Some time back I mentioned that I had bought a number of large rocks in the 1200 to 1600 lbs range. I mentioned I would move them with my BX, I think in the "how much can a BX tow" etc thread. OK, despite warnings it would blow the transmission or the FEL would bend or something like that, the BX FEL had no trouble lifting the rocks and tumbling them. I tumbled the first two about 20 yards to their new homes. The others I built a skid of plywood, they had further to be moved, and then rolled the rocks onto the skid with the FEL. I then hooked a chain to the plywood through a hole I cut in it and as soon as I tightened up the ply ripped out so I nailed a 2X4 top and bottom and them punched another hole for my chain. The BX can easily pull a 1600 lbs rock on the skid, in fact it pulled 2 at once easily, not a strain at all, did not even have to use 4WD. The last of the rocks I turned around and butted the boxblade against it, engaged 4WD low range and pushed it. It plowed a trench as I pushed it until I got to my gravel drive, half way across the gravel drive enough gravel dammed up behind the boulder to get all 4 wheels spinning, so I turned around and shoved the FEL under it and flipped it up and over the gravel dam and then rolled it the last little bit. Oh well, yet another impossible task accomplished by the amazing BX. Hey Rogue, congrats on the new BX. J
