Well said. Similarly, I've been trying to be smart and using mine more to lift things to avoid aggravating old injuries and prevent new ones! 😊 And definitely trying to do that as safely as possible. It's been a huge help!

Reminds me of the lesson that I recently learned where I bought a trailer with a 3500 lb axle and assumed that's what it actually could carry. But then later on I learned that you have to subtract the weight of the trailer itself and anything else that is on it such as mesh sides and spare tires...

:D

Thanks much. Great description. That is actually what I had to figure out to get it off the truck successfully! Took a bit to figure it out! Thanks for the reply!

Thanks 85Hokie 👍Good points.

Ok. Thanks Big G. FYI, and it may not matter, but I have the quick attach/universal skid steer type of loader bucket. Meant to mention that. Still sounds like I was maybe above the the limit. I just remember seeing that 739lbs number and thought maybe that was just down low, then minus the...

Still a bit of a newbie, at least in opportunities to lift heavy items, and I have a question. Today I had my forks on and was unloading a pallet of the back of a large box truck. I was on ground level and had the forks about 4 1/2 feet off the ground into the back of the truck. The tractor...

Awesome! Congratulations! I know you're going to like your new BX a lot!

Thanks GibbyESS9. The lights are from Tractor Supply's Travellers off road line. They're supposed to be 1050 Lumens each. I custom designed the brackets to fit the rops and house the connectors, then 3D printed them and then painted them lightly with a rubberized paint. They along with the...

Uhhhhg, spell check... house not how's

Also the black mounts how's the waterproof quick connects that came with the lights so that they are hidden inside of the mounting.

I just thought I would share some pictures of my custom made, no drilling required, lighting mounts and switch. They are nice and snug and allow aiming as needed and sit high above the driver out of the way yet on the inside of the mount hopefully protected from tree branches and such. The...

I'll likely be one to wax mine too! :D

Thanks for your reply! That was really good information. A good idea. I've been meaning to get a Hi-Lift anyway! Thanks again for your reply and info Molson.

Thanks for the responses foks!! I thought it was probably not necessary, but I thought I'd at least ask less I found out a couple of years later that I should have asked! Hmmmmm:unsure:...........stainless.......... :D

I know this may be partly a "vanity" question, but I also am proud of my brand new BX and want it to last a long time. So I thought I would ask on this forum, do you re-paint the bottom of your loader bucket? Is it necessary? I know the bottom of the bucket get a lot of scraping and scratching...

Thanks BigG. I really tried to take smaller bites. Especially after it hung up that first time. But it seems to grab when I get about 2 to 3 feet down. It grabs fast! Thanks for the suggestion about the pipe wrench. That's a great idea! I was trying to figure out a way to reverse it manually...

This is my first time posting to this forum and I am glad that it is here. I have a two-part question related to using my post hole digger. I have a BX2680 and using a pto driven phd with a 9" auger. Despite trying to take small "bites" by going down a foot and popping back up, when the auger...
