BX23 getting a workout

[JimWalch]

Just about broke in and getting used hard. The old house tear down turned into a cleanup from a burn down. Kids vandalized it for years and tried to burn it several times but didn’t have enough fuel until I started burning limbs from tree trimmings. All they had to do was carry the hot coals about fifty yards and that did it. Saved me a lot of work on tear down and hauling to the landfill. Now comes the cleanup with the help of the new BX23. I have done things with it that seemed impossible. Dug a ramp to the basement floor to clean out the brick walls and fire leftovers. I didn’t think it could back up the ramp with a full scoop of bricks, but it does if I can keep my B*** on the seat. Have to use my foot up against the loader upright. With the help of my trusty old ¾ ton p/u, with a hoist added last year, I have moved over fifty loads close to the bury hole about a hundred yards away. Two or three hundred more and I will be about done. Will save some cash not having it moved by the excavator. Well back to work! (Play?) /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the pics - it is nice to see somebody else putting their BX23 thru a workout. I have 260 hours on mine so far and pretty much all of it has been put doing excavation in rocky New England soil. First I extended my driveway by digging out a huge pine tree stump and lots of rocks and now I am working on the excavation for my new garage foundation.

Awful convenient that the house burnt down saving you mucho bucks eh? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

You need a dump trailer. Maybe with the savings from the excavator.....

Do you have to hand unload the truck?

Honest I didn't do it. (we have great neighbors though) Don't want to go to jail! Went to the zoning office and ask first. NO, but they said I could burn the barn- go figure

I'd be more worried about the nails from the burnout. Is there an easy fix to that dilema? (nails that is) /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A big magnet and a great woman by my side that wants a new house. My pole barn comes first. Ask the owners if they would sell the 2 acres the house was on and all said and done wound up with 8. Just might have to buy a MMM for the BX /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
