First time on the forum...and I’m glad I found it! We purchased a 10 acre farm where our daughter and her two horses live in Minnesota. Last fall we rebuilt the barn, built two stalls, fenced two acres as well as making “season one” upgrades to the farmhouse. We had some nice neighbors that loaned me his skid steer for some of the heavier duties...but otherwise it was a lawn tractor and wheelbarrow.
Ok...had enough of that, went out an purchased a BX2380 with the FEL, and snow blade on the back. I needed to first move shavings for the stalls, manage manure , and take care of snow removal...but I am looking forward to the spring where I will want to move hay on pallets (small ones), dig better than a straight bar on bucket, and maybe add an implement or two off the back (tiller). Oh yea.... my daughter will be the operator 50% of the time....so for her sake and mine (both rookies) need to set up our BX for ease of use. So here is what I am thinking....
Pirahana tooth bar and BXpanded pallet/brush forks to optimize not having to have a bunch of individual attachments off the front, and similarly a land pride quick hitch and a heavy hitch off the back for ease of implement attachment, and ballast.(we have rim guard). So...what am I missing...does this sound like a reasonable approach? Look forward to comments
