The "What can a BX do thread...."

Can a BX 24 dig up a stump....

Yep. (even by someone who has never touched the controlls of a Bach Hoe before! Some of you would have laughed your head off at me learning that you really cant do it by step 1 - lower arm step 2 - move bucket step 3 curl boom etc....)

Can it haul a big pile of limestone?

No problem. I thought about taking a picture when the pile was about 2/3moved though.

Loader work is ok, but man, do I love digging stumps.

C'mon...if you're going to post a picture of a stump, at least post a picture of a STUMP.

Here's a couple of my nicer catches...

I always get a kick out of these "BX can do it" threads. Not that the BX can't do it, but that the operator is so impressed with what even a small tractor can do. The only thing more impressed than the operator is the neighbor looking over the fence that just said it couldn't do it!

Tractor on fellow TBN'er!

I'd say that the average BX owner has no previous experience on tractors, so that it can do more than a SHOVEL AND WHEELBARROW is exciting and appreciated.

The other day I bested my previous record of transporting 640# of salt from my truck to my back steps by transporting 800# (10-80# bags) at once. Pretty good for a FEL rated at little more than 500#. That should impress most anybody...

Hopefully this applies to more than the TLB BX models

It can pull out a overkill clothes hanger that the previous owner installed. Didn't want to tear up the ground too much so I drilled a hole in the pipe and put a bolt through it and the draw bar. Took about 10 tries before it pulled it out of the ground.
This thing had so much weight to it that I had to get my ballast on to move it.

Accidentally bent my top link that day too

Exactly, I spent a good bit of time trying to figure out if what looks to be an overgrown and really expensive lawn mower would be worth the investment. I worried that it would be ineffective to many of the tasks I would subject it to from digging in my rocky ground to lifting heavy loads. For posterity's sake, I wanted to document some of the accomplishments that it can do in a consolidated place to save others time.
Your stump is absolutely Huge. Not sure I would have event considered attempting that one.

Everybody does, no matter the size tractor!

Kubota did a real nice job with the BX!
