    BX saves time and my back

    My son is a city boy now but he is jealous of every land toy I have. He can't wait to get up here and jump on this tractor.

    Best method to properly grade fresh fill?

    I like the idea of using the bucket weight. When I back drag, I float my bucket but I still have a box grader on my short list, if I can find one.

    Small tractor advice

    Does he have lots of money?? If so, Hell yes. Buy the beast/toy/tool you want. I recently moved to the north Ga. mountains. I just bought a new BX2680, added a 3pt. single blade plow and a stump bucket. To be honest, I feel about the same as I felt in 1979 when I bought my first computer...

    BX saves time and my back

    I have to look at renting too. But a box scrapper is on my short list. I would prefer one with adjustable tines, if I can find it.

    BX saves time and my back

    You sound a lot like myself. We just moved up into the north Georgia mountains on 18 acres. Probably a third is farmable with rest too steep. The soil was depleted of any nutrients when we tested it. Large patches of dried clap and lots of rocks. I've only had my BX2680 for about 6 weeks but...

    Winter Rye in a dead field

    New to farming or as I say, what I know about farming I learned from watching Green Acres. I live in the north Georgia mountains. I have 18 acres on the top of a hill. Much of the hill looks scalped, possibly from wind but we do get a lot of rain up here. We are the wettest county east of...

    Signed up for the long haul

    Don't know if I mentioned this somewhere else, but I am very new to tractor life. Not to say that I haven't handled heavy equipment but farm tractors has not been part of that. In fact, I think most of my knowledge of farming came from watching Green Acres. Hang on - I'm working up to...

    out on a limb no more

    Rope Chain Saw at Home Depot To be honest, a trait I rarely have, this is not that rugged of a product. I am thinking of making my own since I several old chains in my juke box. For for under $50, it got the job done.

    Signed up for the long haul

    I just joined for the life time membership plan. But then I read the fine print and discovered it expires in 60 years!!! What a rip off. I'm 68. So if I live to 128 years old and am still pushing dirt from the top side, I am going to have to renew?

    out on a limb no more

    the back of my property slopes steeply, so the back of my roof is probably 40 above gound. I have had this nagging branch that sweeps down on my roof, especially when raining. The offending branch is probably 50 ft. high, or higher than I want to climb with a chainsaw. I found this rope chain...

    BX levers watch out.

    Well, I didn't want to admit this on my first post but I nearly took off my garage door with the FOPS. Lol

    BX levers watch out.

    I am a tractor noob. I just bought my brand new BX2680 about a week ago. We just moved into the mountains on 18 acres. It is a nice house with beautiful mountain views. I want to expand the usable land. My driveway is 1700 ft. long. The land has some steep slopes and I have been trying to...
