and as long as your going thru the motions, get a piece of metal and create a patch panel for the rust, as long as your welding on it. don't try to weld in a continuous line, just a spot every inch, and move, keep it cool till all the spots connect

bring it over, Ill show ya how to fix it. yeah a little far, I know. You may want to get a small cheap cut off wheel, and split the seam at the peak of the crunch, so you can work the metal out, than use the mig and weld the seam back together. Don't beat on the metal without a sandbag, or wood...

Re: 811 sucks! Whatever you do, don't trust the 811 people with blind faith. I pulled a permit to add a 24' extension onto my shop. sometime after 8pm, the 811 guy walked down my 400' driveway ( he would have had to open the main gate to drive in, and I would have seen or heard him) marked...

I use a set of 4 Macs 10K HD ratchet straps with axle wraps and criss cross the front to the trailer, then wrap the rear axles straight out in the rears. set it up on your trailer so it balances 10% forward on your trailer. Chains are gonna scratch it up pretty good, but they will hold just fine.

manual? whats that. get on the backhoe and DIG....... yeah read the manual too. Ive used the hoe as much as the loader and snow blade combined. enjoy your new toy, and welcome

you may loose a SLIGHT amount of turning radius, but you shouldn't need to turn so sharp that the stabilizer bars are in a bind, and backing is no problem, possibly made a little easier, as your trailer wont be so twitchy with the bars attached. You will notice the improved ride quality...

One more thing while im on my soap box, make you towed trailer sit level. a longer or shorter drop, get air bags for your tow vehicle, or better springs. Use a bolt, or hitch pin through the clasp on the tongue, and if you use stabilizers, put a pin on them too. I have quality air bags on all my...

every piece of towing equipment has a weight rating. you can purchase a 10-12K ball for a couple bucks more than a crappy Harbor Freight small shank cheapy. get a solid shank hitch. The whole Reese set up I have on this trailer NEW would be maybe $300., I see them all the time on Craigslist for...

The hitch itself has a wide "head" on it that accepts the spring loaded stabilizer bars. The chain attachment "stabilizes" the trailer to the frame of the tow vehicle. You need to "load the bars" before you put weight on the trailer to help it work properly. This is a 30 year old trailer, so it...

Most people don't realize that you can buy larger shank tow balls, solid shank hitches, or if you use a stabilizer bar system, you will almost double your towing capacity, plus it is so much safer for you and everyone else on the road. I wouldn't tow a trailer without a stabilizer system...

Nice score Wolfman, now I know someone with a bobcat to hire out locally, instead of the guys from Spokane. I have bobcat envy

I added a couple inches of gravel to about a 200' section of my driveway, using just the FEL. I would just lift the loader high, and drop the gravel as you back up, then back drag over it and it compacted the gravel and leveled it nicely. I think the problem you may run into using the snow blade...

Re: A work in progress (3' Boom Pole) Its never over engineered or overbuilt if it works or what you intended it to do "Over Kill is Under Rated"

I'm trying to figure out how my 72x24 shop shrunk, now I'm doing a lumber list to build a covered area for a motor home and pontoon boat about 40'x24'wide. I need more room to park stuff, and we sold two trucks and a large trailer last fall

I'm gonna have to stop by on my way thru this year also. I was in a heck of a hurry last year on my way home. I'll be doing some contract work out in Wyoming for a couple months ending around the first week in August, and I go right thru there every year. I'm gonna slow down a bit this year. I...

Sometime around September, I need to stack everything up in the back 24x24' of the shop so I can get a new slab poured in the front of the 24' of the shop, and another 24' of covered carport. I have no idea where I'm gonna put it all!

I have been using the bxpanded ones as I wanted to be able to move them where it was convenient. I have moved them a couple times, when I was pulling T posts with the bucket, then while moving some cumbersome bulky tools by myself. Haven't had a problem with their strength.

If you are making a trail or road thru an area, and it's too rough or there are deep holes, just add a few scoops of ground and a quick back drag, and the problem is solved. Then when you drive thru next time no more issues. I have a BX on just over 5 thick wooded acres, with lots of rocks...

The quick attach front kit will come in real handy switching back and forth, and when you start picking up more attachments. I need to get one too as I really need a grapple for brush clearing. I've tried the bolt on pallet forks, or just the bucket at an up angle, but both are a balance and...

If they still have the 0% interest deal, you might want to get a few items from the dealer, and have them installed. I have a BX25D also, and picked up the backhoe thumb, rubber hoe feet, and front quick loader with the 60" (hydraulic, angle snow blade). The blade works awesome for snow, but I...
