150hrs and still lovin' my BX

[dragoneggs]

Today I hit 150hrs. Working on my huge pile of debris from last year clearing.



Ahh... the pleasure of burning stumps and branches using the FEL.



So much fun I thought I would try 3 wheeling. This stump about tipped me over! :shocked:



Nice day to burn and made a dent on the pile but there is sure a lot more to go!

Looks like you got a serious burn pile started! Those BX's are real workers for their size and I been very impressed with the stability while mowing!
Good luck on your project

Only 1.5 acres but I have more projects than I can count! I have done some serious grading with this little beast. Moved 100s of yards of dirt, gravel, topsoil, rocks, stumps, cement block, you name it. I haven't mowed yet but that time will come soon enough. Haven't decided on a MMM or Rear mount. I have 30yards of topsoil coming in the morning to dress a few areas before I plant grass seed.

I've owned a couple of rear finish mowers. The first was a cheap Red one Jolle? or something like that that had perfect welds and was light weight. It kept breaking, I don't have a lawn, I have a hillside yard. I traded it to a Landpride that had very visible welds and was built like a tank. It was heavy enough to sort of steer my tractor on down hill turns but I loved it. I like the RFM in concept and actual use. Easy on and easy off and easy service.
Looks like you are making great progress on taming your land.:thumbsup:

Dragon,
Great to hear the 1,500 report. Did you do those retaining walls in the shot? Nice job if you did.

That is very cool....after all that hard work you owe it a bath.

I too am amazed at what the little machine can do.....after all it is just a lawn mower. Until it picks up a stump like that or 4 wet RR ties.

Psssst its 150 hours......bit of a difference

Looks like you're on a hillside and I was wondering how this unit did while working on hills and any operating tips to share?

Dragon, it sure looks like you are getting a lot of good work out of the little orange fella. Another vote for the RFM here too, A lot o folks complain about putting on and taking off the MMM and the RFM is sure going to be a lot easier to put on and take off, plus there is the ground clearance issues with the MMM. But some guys really like their MMM because it lowers the center of gravity and they can mow around obstacles with ease.

Oh no, looks like I had another senior moment. Mom, get me to the dog track, quick!
