Moving the Couch with a BX

[JOHNTHOMAS]

To save $80 I ordered a couch online from ivgstores.com. It arrived today on the back of a tractor trailer that parked at the bottom of my driveway. Driver felt he may not make it up drive since he didn't have much weight on the truck. I would have just slid it onto my truck but it wasn't here so out comes the BX. Was concerned about it staying on the bucket then remembered I had the forks. Voila! The problem was solved. I've also unloaded and moved a fridge with my tractor. So, this is to let those thinking about buying a tractor that all the uses can't be told because they all haven't been done yet. Pictures enclosed.

Very nice! I just showed my wife the pictures to help justify my new BX2660, and now she want a new couch...

(This was last spring...)

Great! Now I've got my 600-lb. mower deck, HOW do I get it out of the trailer by myself?!?

Oh, yeah... the tractor!

I had a party the other weekend and filled the bucket with beer and soda then some snow. Parked it outside the window with the bucket at sill height. Makes one **** of a cooler.

Already did the Grand L and my tractor and couch shopping days are over. My BX25 is to be delivered tomorrow.

Great idea!! Uses of/for a tractor are unlimited and another fine example of why a FEL is almost a requirement.

I had plenty of help putting a 284 lb jukebox in my pickup...but none to get it off. Picked up a half-sheet of 3/4 ply at the Depot on the way, and when I got home, laid ply on bucket forks, rolled juke (has wheels) onto ply, drove around to family room patio, hand trucked it over threshold, and rolled juke into family room. Chalk up another use...

I used my B3030 to move an 800lb gunsafe from the back of my Suburban to the house. Way too heavy for an appliance dolly.
