[diesel dave 04]

I took delivery 8:30 am and I used it to move some snow piles behind my house until the ground started to get soft (didn't want to tear up the yard) But what a nice unit. I may get the grad for the grill i like it. i guess it is time to set up a sig with a pic now that i have a real tractor.

Congrat's on your new tractor. My first BX was an 1850 back in 2008. Know what you mean about the ground getting soft. I was out on Saturday and again early Sunday. Each day as the sun got higher in the sky, the frost started coming out of the ground and I didn't want to put ruts in my lawn so I called it quits by mid day. No problem in the woods, though it got a bit muddy. Can't wait for the frost to be gone and the ground to dry out.

Of course you do need to post the obligatory pic or two before we can consider your new tractor official.

Funny you say that My shop smells like a new tractor LOL

You're going to confuse that mower, introducing it to snow first, instead of grass!!!

Nice !!!!

Nice. Congrat's. I had forgotten the 70 series all have folding ROPS. I thought for a second they dropped you a BX25D without the hoe by mistake. Enjoy.

Nice new BX, you're gonna enjoy it.

 

[craigbaill]

Ok. Be honest. How many times did you go out to the garage to just look at it?? I have had ours a little over two months and I still do it... A few time s a day!!

Great tractors! You will put it to good use.

As far as the waxing thing...I didnt do that to mine but only because it was so darn cold in the garage and the deck was used immediately so it had lots of grass on it!

 

[dragoneggs]

And did you remember to lower your ROPS the first time pulling into the garage?

 

[diesel dave 04]

I do glance at it quite a bit, i find my self trying to think of things i can do with it just to drive it around. yesterday i road around picking up sticks, then ran it around rolling the yard.
my garage door is 10' high so no issue there. I havent tryed to put it in the shed yet but i do have the ROPS folded do to clearing my clothes lines today we are welding/making one of these for it.Flexpoint 3-Pt. Hitch Adapter — Category 1 and 2, Model# FPHS-1 | 3-Point Hitch Adapters| Northern Tool + Equipment

 

[diesel dave 04]

Ok here is what we made, I put a regular hook on it , a chain grab hook and a D ring.

we can make them if any one wants one.
