My wife asked whether I could tow the kids around for Halloween this year. I have a 14 foot, 80" wide trailer. I'm wondering if this is possible or whether it's a horrible idea. BX25 with FEL and backhoe. I'll plan on running a grapple in front (holding a weight if needed), 4WD Low...

I ruined my HST fan blade before so I had the dealer replace it and I bought underbody armor. I didn't have it on today. Figured I'd do something quick. I'm not smart. I heard a rotational whine and I stopped asap. There is a single blade missing on the HST. What are people's thoughts on...

I noticed something strange today. when lifting something off the ground with the BX the loader continued to lift on its own without me touching the controls. Normally after you let go, the arm should spring back to its center position. Has anyone experienced this? It's quite dangerous as I...

I have a BX25 and will soon have a bit over 1 acre of grass. I've struggled in the past to mow what I have right now just because it takes so damn long to take everything off. I have the farm tires so I am concerned about messing up the turf. I remove the FEL and the backhoe...then the...

So I purchased a window motor and a linear actuator for the front-mount snowblower. That stuff seems pretty straight forward to me. I also purchased 2 DPDT switches (In retrospect I don't see why I couldn't have just used 2 SPCO or SPTT switches. In any event my brother mentioned the idea of...

I bought the Quick Attach so I could easily swap between the grapple and bucket. When I first received the quick attach, the ends were bent and I was missing the retaining clips. Issue #1 Well I went and got some but they disappeared during brush clearing very quickly. I got more. They...

I'm looking for some advice on a problem that just started happening. I bought a used 2011 BX25 and have been using it for over a year with no problems. It currently has 360 hours on it. About a week ago I was driving up a hill and I noticed the RPM's started to drop. From 2100 to 1800 to...

On Thursday I bought the Land Pride grapple + 3rd function kit for the BX25. Some initial thoughts: Installation: 1. The instructions say to mount the electronic switch in front of the HST pedal and both the hydraulic lines to the left of the bracket. I did not find this possible. I had the...

I'm looking for some advice to put in a lawn. I own 2 acres that has been sitting unkept for 30 years. I started with 10 foot high weeds, vines, dead trees and have gotten it down to almost ground level. It's growing again though. What I have: BX25 York Rake Ratchet Rake Land: In NH we have a...

I'm thinking of building some wood sheds that I would like "somewhat" portable as I have not found a permanent home for my wood yet. I'm thinking of using an 8x8 pallet for the base, 8x8 in back and 4x4 on the sides. I'm thinking this will be roughly 250 pounds. Then I'm thinking of adding...

I took a vine into the front of the BX25 a few days ago and realized I have a need for the grill guard. I just can't seem to find them anywhere. I used to see them on Ebay for 80-90 bucks and there are none. And I don't see aftermarket brands out there. Anyone know where I can find one of these?

I have a BX25, 2 acres of overgrown woods. Situation: I have a ton of saplings, and even more thick vines (some up to 4" in diameter). They have been killing a lot of trees and taking over. I'm attempting to wage battle but would like some advice on the best implements. Current Equipment: I...

Just figured I'd post this. Certainly not the most amazing concept in the world but it seems to work well for me. On the ground the FEL has a large footprint so I figured I'd rig something up quick. Without storing it upright the FEL would have blocked my circuit panels, the door you see and...

I have been needing to use the backhoe on my BX25 to dig up roots and am realizing the usefulness of BH bucket implements like the ripper tooth (which I don't have) Has anyone experimented with adding a mini ripper tooth onto an existing bucket tooth? Or replaced a bucket tooth for one of a...

I'm picking up a BX25 tomorrow and am really looking forward to it. My property has a ton of overgrown bush etc and I'm looking to use a grapple. I know that I can buy a thumb for the backhoe but I think brush is something I'd like to do with the FEL instead of the BH. Does anyone make a...
