Mine is just an old BX2200, but don't tell the tree! It did take most of an hour to work it loose. These little machines are amazing. My grandson is nearly 6' tall, so is the rootball.

I am amazed every time I get on mine lol. I have just over 50 hrs on her now and still having fun. I will get back down there in Jan and I hope to get some more done around the place :)

My old BX22 I could not stand...alot of issues leaking/breaking...My Bx24 is much nicer but lacking in BH performance...

Have you verified the pressure is set A-OK?
I believe in my "BX25 Goodies" thread I give
part numbers at McMaster to make up such
a pressure gauge testor, alternately Harry at BXpanded
sells a kit w/ shims and a gauge as well I do believe.

Personally, I am the other way around, I think the BH
works well and the FEL b performance blows...

Good question. I will have to buy the tester or look for that thread, thanks. The BH digs but you have to go really slow since it just moves the machine. I tried to pull a 5 inch DIA tree last year and it was a joke. Tried to remove some lilac trees the machine was lacking, sad. I had to call my buddy that owns a quarry and he came over. Dug out 28 inch dia tree stumps in about 7 minutes each and just pushed my little one out. embarrassing

The FEL I cannot stand at idle. It is about the same as my old Bx22.. I like the 24 just lacking in some areas.

Rant issues...backing up still as poor as the 22. Seat is junk. safety switch (all removed now) are not like the Bx22 (had none). doing an oil change is a pain (not like a JD). No tilting sterring wheel is lacking. mowing deck platic pieces are poor.

But at least they fixed the hyd issues from the old days. LOL

Well...i "USED" to have issues w the BH pulling the machine around,
then I figured out how to use it. It was all operator error.
Once I figured it all out I was embarrassed
I didn't know better to begin with...


You have to;

SET THE E BRAKE HARD
SET THE FEL BUCKET DOWN IN A MANNER TO HELP HOLD YOU
SET YOUR OUTRIGGERS PROPERLY, BUY PADS IF NECESSARY

Additionally I found while I had all 4 tires on pavement, I found
that if you chock the tires w/ good rubber tire chocks it
is a whole new world...

Really it was all me...I suggest slow down, take my tips, analyze
the situation and you will be way better off...

WORKS FOR ME!
