BX22/23/24 Owners...Show your project pictures!

[wkasak]

Hello All,

I am seriously considering buying a BX24 for my 15 acre mainly wooded suburban property. My list of projects are french drains, burying utilities, earth moving, trail clearing, small stump removal, landscaping, 75' pond and general maintainance. No mowing...I have a ZTR and refuse to mow with anything else... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Show me your project pictures...either in progress or completed...I want to visualize what these little machines are capable of accomplishing.

Thanks in Advance,
Walt

While I have no pix to post, I will throw in my advice. Take it as you will!

While I am a BX2230 owner and have 15 acres of wooded area myself, I would recommend you look bigger. The only reason I bought smaller was I wanted a good mower too, which the BX does very very well. And while as a tractor it is also capable of doing what I ask of it, if I wasn't mowing I'd rather have a bigger tractor, maybe an L series?

Just my $.02

First Photo was after Weed eating the ditch out, this one is after calling Louisiana One Call, and they came out and marked the underground utilities, after finding out it had phone and gas lines, I knew I could only fill it in, no digging allowed.

Filling ditch in with broken up concret, which a local contractor need a place to dump a lot of, thanks to a new house going in one block over. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif free stuff

Dayum....that is a big stump. No worries then using a BX24 for such tasks I would assume.

Just take your time, and use leverage, put bucket under stump, and curl, it takes time, but works. Also, if you have a come a long, it some times helps to put a cable, around part of the stump, and pull it so that it twist the stump in the ground, so that it helps to break the wood.
