Man! The thumb nearly doubles the usefullness of the BH! I kinda got carried away, lifting logs and stumps that were within the load range of the BH, but a bit much even with a full bucket of clay up front. Especially when backing up to drop the log or stump....dang I can't "ease" off on the reverse pedal! I pulled a wheelie twice, but thought ahead and had my hand ready to release the log. I did learn to roll the bucket forward, and low, to minimize the back-heavy state, but this makes it mor difficult to release the load quickly if need be. I did swing the loaded BH to the uphill side as I was transporting over uneven terrain, this helped alot for stability even though I kept speed to a minimum. Are there any other tricks?
I've yet to "wash" my month old BX...but I will admit to spraying the seat off tonight....LOL!

Nice aint they!!! I KEEP MY stabilizers 6 to 8 inchs off the ground on the real heavy stuff,just in case i start to go over,its mostly peace of mind,Just be careful not to run into any thing.go nice and slow,and use your head and youll be fine.Sounds like you got mostly figured out any how
