    Qickrete Mixing Question - Tractor Bucket

    I borrowed a buddy's wheel barrel to mix up 8 eighty pound bags of concrete the other night. I need to mix up about 11 more bags. He took his wheel barrel. I do not own a wheel barrel and would rather not buy one for this project as my bucket on my BX23s is my everyday wheel barrel. Anyway...

    Do Any of You All Run Grapples From Rear Remotes?

    Was wondering how many of you run your grapple from your rear remotes? On my BX I have the 3rd function diverter valve. On my 5740 I am debating dropping the thousand bucks for the 3rd function....but then I was thinking maybe I would just use the rear remotes for now? The 5740 will not be...

    About to buy a Boss Snow Plow for my truck

    So I can't say enough about how well my Chinese made UTV plow did this last storm. I plowed quite a bit of driveways, my entire neighborhood streets and an elementary school. The school is 12 miles away which is a bit far to drive a UTV to with a plow on the state highway. I didn't feel like...

    How many miles on your vehicle before sell or trade?

    Historically (in my 43 years of living) I have been one who will get the itch and trade before my vehicle was worn out and buy a newer one. I have never bought a new vehicle for myself. However, I typically trade after owning for around 5 years because I will get the itch. The last time I...
