New BX 23 has arrived.

[TroyR57]

Well I made it home for the Holiday Weekend, and found my new BX 23 waiting. How ever, per my OK, Sam had sold the first one that he had ordered. for me that was all decked out, so this one, had not been fitted with MMM, or welded hooks, or alternater yet. But with only through Monday to play, I told him to bring it on over. First Photo, is of Sam unloading it in front of the house.

Also, I again need to use a larger tractor, to finsh a project I had started at Christmas, with a large Track Hoe. Sam has a new Demo, tractor, this one is a M6800, which, after he closed at noon, delivered to the house, I now have two tractors, to play with until Tuesday Morning. This is the last of the large stumps, that I had to remove /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

What a great feeling it is to have a shinny new BX23 in the driveway. What a great feeling it is to get the first scratch on it, means your finally gettin' some seat time.
You got a good dealer there, drops it off than picks it up again just to add a few things.
Good Luck!!! Have Fun and Enjoy I know I do!!!!
Great pics by the way. Pics we all like pics for some crazy reason guess they are fun to look at.

TROY,
You are going to love it,boy you have been waiting a long time!!The anticipation must have been a killer.Let me tell you,after you run this thing,while your back home,the anticipation to get back to it is worse.God has blessed me with many toys,such as atvs,snowmobiles,boats etc,but my favorite thing he has gave me[next to my family and our health]is my bx-23.I am worse than a little kid,with a new bike,i am simply dieing to get seat time on this thing.IT almost makes me feel like a career change down the road,such as early retirement,and a landscaping business or similar.
Great pictures,sure hope to see more!Be safe,and post often.also look for that thread someone posted on that bx-23 toolbox,made from a rubbermade bread holder.I JUST INSTALLED IT,ITS AWESOME[AND ALSO OUT OF THE WAY.

Thanks Guy's, and boy do I have some mud on it now, and a few scratchs. It had not rained, at Winnfield, for about three weeks, and the Day I got the tractor, Saturday May 28, it was calling for rain. But I lucked out the rain did not hit until about 4:00pm. I now have four hours on the BX, and about three hours on the M6800. You have to play with the larger tractor when you have a choice. One more photo of the M6800 moving logs, also you will notice I have on my new Kubota Hat, I also shaved, as I will be working down in the South for a while. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Well, talked with Brother Curry at church today, and he has two other projects at Church, that I will be working on, hopefully in a few weeks. Brother Curry also asked what the going rate was for helping him around his house, I said for him, just fuel, as he had helped my father on many an occasoin, when we had the tree service.
