great pictures - I just got my BX23 last week and am pleasantly surprised at the kind of work it can do. I am finding that with the right technique I can dig quite well with the FEL in this rocky New England soil, and the backhoe works very well too. The more I get used to the tractor and know it's limitations the more I find I can do with it - luckily I dont have any stumps quite the size of that monster you pulled out!!
