I GOT IT! (BX24, Photos)

[RayCo]

I got my BX24 today. Neil from Messick's in Lancaster County, PA delivered it. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and I'm very happy that I got it from his company. Here are some pics from my first day with it.

6767 = Had to just laugh that the day finally came.

6781 = Playing with a wood pile I need to clear (after my thumb arrives!)

6791 = Finally got rid of 1 of about 20 stumps I have to get rid of. I figured I'd start with the smallest one.

6813 = The exact kind of thing I used to roll my eyes at until I became a Dad. Now I want to share everything with my daughter.

Thanks to so many people on this board for all the feedback that I've gotten since September of 05 when I first started looking into getting such a thing.

Hide the keys, or that little tyke will be driveing it in a few years. My 10 year old got cought taking the 7510 for a spin the other day. He said he "didn't want to walk to the back of the land"

Congratulations Ray! I've been following your threads for a bit know as I contemplate the BX24 for my needs.

Enjoy it!

I've been waiting for this thread tonight

You may want to take the SMV off the backhoe when in use, it can obstruct your view.

I did wind up taking it off shortly after that picture, actually. I wanted to have a numbers-matching tractor, but then I said screw it.

Congrats on the new machine. Looks like you were already having some fun!

LOL now you sound like a Mopar guy. My SMV collects dust on the shelf next to my toolbox.

Actually, I'm an Olds guy. At least, back before cars became merely a means of getting back and forth to work and trucks became a tool for hauling tractors, anyway. Here's a pic of my Olds that has 2004 inspection stickers. It has a 409 (Olds 403+.030), and all the other typical stuff.

I've got 2 Chargers that share the garage with my bota and the wifes Honda. Of course my daily driver is forced to sit outside.
