    Burning wood pile with BX25

    I have burned many slash piles using the FEL bucket with Piranha to dig out a shallow trough. I'll pull the pins switch it out and use the Grapple to gather up brush piles and trees. Once the trough is stacked a few feet high, light it off using a little gas and lots more diesel sprayed over the...

    Winter?

    I'll take some snow, ice and rain and the cooler weather over the terrible heat you guys have down south! I can put in a jacket on and go do anything. In that nasty heat all you can do is hide in the A/C indoors.

    Winter?

    We have had our share down here in the lower end of the Kootenays too. Twice the snow of the last few years and it's only January!

    Gravel options for driveway

    Looks good, just like cleaning up and resurfacing a well worn piece of wood. Once you clean up the surface, you find a treasure underneath. A little touch up with the land plane a couple times a year, now you will always have a nice road. There's a big load of pride that now goes with it too.

    Gravel options for driveway

    If your building from scratch, put down " typar" or similar road basing cloth material. Water filters down but soil won't come up thru it. I did that on my roads and driveway in Alaska and it's remained in great condition for years.

    Land clearing - best use for tractor

    I have a piranha on my BX and a Grapple also. These two are the ultimate for removing ankle sized trees, and all the brush, then picking it all up to dispose of. I have done two areas creating more yard space, and mowable lawn around the trees I did keep. The Piranha hooks into the trees and...

    It's Official...

    I recommend 3 things to start ( after the Piranha) loaded rear tires, rear wheel spacers, and a belly skid plate. That would be a great start

    Trailer for BX to tow and be towed?

    "OVERKILL IS UNDER RATED" Nothing like having more trailer than you need, and more truck too. Piece of mind is a wonderful thing, plus you don't want to get sued, if an accident happens

    Trailer for BX to tow and be towed?

    If you have loader and BH, you need at least a 14', and a 16' is better. Your tractor doesn't weigh all that much, but you don't want to load it in a single axle trailer and go down the highway. I move my 16 and 18' trailers around the property with my BX no problem. I personally would rather...

And Yes, I do paint anything that comes off for...

    Piranha Tooth Bar-On the way.....

    Just for giggles, and a lot of appreciation for money well spent, take a few scoops of dirt without the Piranha, than bolt it on and compare the difference. It will put a smile on your face

    Grapple vs pallet forks -BX25

    I have a Grapple and the QD bolt on pallet forks for the bucket. The bolt on units work great with pallets, if you were stacking wood and lumber on a pallet already on the tractor it would be easy, as the pallet holds the forks in place. I find with a lot of irregular pieces of lumber the forks...

    BX Front Snow Blade options

    I live way north of you, and snow blading is a big concern. I use my 60" hydraulic adjust blade a lot. I do my road and driveway (1/2 mile long) and neighbors driveways. There's a lot of turns, angles, switching back and forth etc. You could easily set the manual blade angled to one side and go...

    quickhitch attachments not level

    Also is sounds simple, but when you attach the front sub hitch, there are two knobs with angle lift blocks that can slightly lift each side, but they also pull the hitch right or left which can make the mount sag one side or another. Another simple thing is to look and make sure you don't have s...

    BX Front Snow Blade options

    I use the 60" angle adjustable blade and absolutely love it. It makes it incredibly handy to be able to lift, lower, and turn side to side quickly and powerfully. It rolls snow beautifully, and I could not imagine NOT being able to turn and lift on the fly. If you were to try one, I do not...

    BX25d1 and auger

    I regularly run s 9" auger on my BX. We live in N Idaho, and there are areas of softball to pumpkin sized rocks, the self cleaning auger is a wonderful thing! This fall I put up s 300' fenceline, and Dug about 50 holes for 4x6's in about an hour. Totally awesome piece of equipment. The only bad...
