First BX23 project

[murphdasurf]

Spreading a 10 Wheeler of 3/4" stone. I now have a whopping 10 hours in the seat and I am beginning to get the feel for the tractor. I think the backhoe is a little weak. I tried pulling some rotted old small stumps and the backhoe definitely has limitations. Already thinking of upsizing. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Murph,

I had lots of problems with my BX-22 BH it first.. It was fun, but ended up pulling myself towards the stump mostly. That still happens, but a lot less - - just learn to take smaller bites. And when attacking roots, be sure you are at the right angle - -

I'm not at expert by any means, but I'm a lot better after 120 hours since I bought.

Have fun.

I felt the same way about my BX when I first purchase it. I was coming down from a full sized TBL and I had to rethink its abilities. I soon learned that what I used to do in a half hour, now took an hour and a half. Once you get used to it, it will work better for you. Just take your time and with some practice you will get the hang of it. With some practice you will really be enjoying yourself. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's a nice looking little TLB you have! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif What kind of dog is that? Looks like a nice one. That black spot on his side is kinda cool.

She's half Australian sheperd, half pointer, or so that is what they told me at the pound. She's a real good dog.
