I'm not sure but I don't think this is limited just to BX operators

I'm a little late to the party here Buckeye22 but congrats on your new machine. I picked up mine a few years ago, its a 2013 and had 260 hours on it. I now have almost 600. For my uses its been great and very reliable. I would only add what I tell my non tractor friends who look at all the...

It finally dried out enough for me to take the chipper on test run. I took down a 6" hickory that had been planned for. The chipper worked great (sorry no pix, my son did shoot a short video). However I learned that, at least for hardwood, the limit is about 5" before I stall the tractor. I used...

Bingo! They change his shirt depending on holidays, major events etc. Recently he had a St Pat's shirt. His wife buys an XL shirt and cuts the back open

I did give my notice last Monday :) Told our CEO I would work thru May. He would like me to stay on part time making my own hours, as many or few as I want. I have my head now firmly in retirement mode so I think it's cut the cord cleanly. Working out my vacation time now so not many 'work...

Just a phone shot. I don't know what kind of tree this is, it was here when we purchased the house last year. iirc it stays like this bloomed state only a few days.

This morning, at least in my little corner of the world, all is right

:( I haven't bought from them in about a year. My previous purchases were pretty prompt.

Finished the assembly today :) I am getting old though. Everything seemed heavy :( Didn't have to cut the pto shaft. iirc my last WC68 was the same, shaft good the way it came. Filled it will hydraulic fluid, started it up to let the air get purged and then topped it off. It really took 5...

Sorry to hear that Northwoodslife but Bow may still return. We had a dog many years ago that did the same thing - bolted into the woods after a deer. We were pretty upset but a week later he showed up. Dirty but none the worse for his adventure. Here's hoping.

Good luck RCW. I ran my own business for 25 years before I closed it and went to work for a competitor. That was 30 years ago. It's time for me too. Monday I am telling our CEO that I'm done the end of May. They have been very good to me (family business). About 5 years into this job he asked...

Got mine 2 years ago last year - more than for stumps :) used it to plant 10 Arbovitaes tough bugger - no matter the company's name

They shipped in just about a week to the closest branch of the company I work for. One of the drivers then delivered it today with a lift gate. I wasn't anxious to take it off the truck with my forks as the max lift is about 1100lbs and the weight is out a bit on them. Good decision. I only had...

Of course I couldn't get to assembly instructions until I removed the metal shipping crate, all the loose pieces and the mountain of plastic wrap and cardboard. That's when I saw I had to mount the chipper on the 3 point to remove the metal shipping base (soon to become chipper dolly). Of course...

Happy days!

If the water table gets any higher here I'm going to call my cousin Noah

I am not familiar with your bucket, I assume its a quick attach. If so my recent experience may help. I tweaked the support tube that runs between the ssqa. It caused the exact same problem - one side over an inch higher than the other, a pia to mount anything on it. It was very easy to see that...

I swapped the bucket for the forks (my automated ssqa lock still works :) ). My son and I then moved this pigeon hole rack into the basement: I bought it at a government auction with plans to use it in my workshop to organize small parts / hardware. I had grossly underestimated how heavy the...

This is a good thread for me to read as I'm about to do a fair amount of felling. I admit when doing a 'quick job' I leave all the PPE on a hook :( Reading here is another reminder that accidents happen even on little jobs. I shouldn't need to be reminded as I, as many others here, know...
