Got my BX2670 a little over a month ago. Have almost 50 hrs on it. Have been mostly moving dirt and mowing. Had a storm roll through and am now cleaning up. Can't believe I didn't get a tractor years ago. I was moving wood with a wheel horse 520H for about a decade now. Hydraulics rule!!! It's worth every penny. Love this site also. Here are some pics.
Loving my new BX2670!!!

As I get older, two questions have come to mind:
#1. How did I ever have time to work before I retired?
#2. How did I ever get along without a tractor for all those years?
Welcome aboard!

The BX is a great little tractor, in spite of owning several bigger machines, there is always something for which we need a BX.
fng120, don't you find that rops ridiclously high. I had to dig down my entrance to the shed 3 inches just to get mine inside.
Well I'm 6'5" and my garage door is 8' tall so I don't mind it. My wife doesn't like that it's in the garage next to her van but I drive an 02 Saturn SL beater and don't care if it sits outside. Want my BX to last for years to come. I figure my Wheel Horse 520H is a 1989 so this little beast should last longer than that. I picked up my canopy off of craigslist on Friday and love it. Plan on adding lights front and rear when I get a break. Also got the BXpanded under armor when the storm rolled through. Thanks to OTT. Also waiting on the quick on bucket hooks so I can drag the big stuff around. The brush/pallet forks will have to wait till I get some more $. The add-ons for this are endless. Sorry for ranting, just excited.
Had mine about a month and spent more time working (modifing) on it than useing it. 3 chain hooks on bucket, 2 chain storage tubes,3 tool boxes, fire extinguisher , fit fel tooth bar, fel forks, make extended bucket lower lip, fit center grader blade, telescopic sway bars and grill guard. Today was supposed to be the last mod, but as I was hooking everything back up, I thought ," I need some rear night lights on this". Will start on that after I cut the tree down and pile it.
So as I was working with my BX I thought I could pick up some large trees that were on the ground. I guess I thought it could do it. But I would probably need a really large tractor to do this. Then I got to thinking I should have gotten a bigger tractor, then buyers remorse. It took a while for me to get over that, then I started moving dirt in the woods for my shooting range and remembered why I got the BX. I moved about 60 bucket loads in the last 2 days. This thing is totally the right purchase. Sometimes I guess we think our machines are full size excavators. Thanks BX
