Its all 4shorts fault!!!

That I bought a BX25D. Hope it to deliver next week.

Well I can't say it is all his fault....some others had a hand in it. I see the work that he has done with the machine, and the work of others (one guy with a YOUTUBE id of kubotabx25d) really swayed me. That and I really do like the idea of a smaller machine, and after watching these (and other) videos, reading comments by actual users of the machine I just decided after 6 months of half looking and a week of reading everything I could that this was going to be the best machine for me.

So Thanks a LOT....I blame you :laughing:

some photos of the machine still sitting at the dealer after I played on it before we signed the papers.

So far my dealer experience was fantastic. I will wait till the machine gets to my door and I will do a full dealer review....might be a few days as a late winter storm just slammed into us.

I plan on doing quite a bit of video recording of the jobs with the machine....not what 4shorts does, he does that well enough for anyone, but more in areas that I had questions in when I was looking for machines.

That's the plan anyway.

Congratulation on your new machine Cherokee! I bet you will be happy when spring comes.. I saw a robin about an hour ago, hopping down my sleet covered driveway!

Congratulations on arriving at a decision, I sure know how hard that can be. Good thing about the BX25D is if you don't find it suits your needs, it holds value very well.

you will love it... and an LP grapple too? Now I'm jealous. Been watching 4Shorts vid on that and the hydraulic thumb and drooling on my keyboard.

Congratulations on your new machine. I get blamed for everything I do :laughing:

Your in for a real treat owning that machine. It will exceed all your expectations. I know mine has and still does. Although I have the 5740 I've grown very fond of the BX and I know you will as well.
Again, congratulations. I'm glad I played a small part in your decision. :dance1:

Everyone that owns them sings their praise.....those that do not say it is too small.

I was able to play with it a little at the dealer yesterday...temp at the time was about 17f. Went out back and he let me play with the backhoe...really do what I wanted. The ground was frozen...hard as a rock. The backhoe cut right into it and out came buckets of frosty earth. That really sold me. And we had the tractor running at pretty low RPM so he could talk to me and not have to yell too much. He said if we bumped up the RPM's it would have a little more hitch in its getty-up. The "no power" argument went out the window with seeing how it tore into mother earth. I was a little worried about the heal-toe hydrostat, but it was nothing...my mower is the same way.

I really am excited for it to get here....darn mother nature tossed us this mess.

If I could only keep one tractor it would be my BX23

I sold my CAT D3 dozer last year and still have my Deere 110 TLB plus the BX23.

The BX is the one I go to the most often... sometimes because it is the only one that will fit in the space and other times just because it's very ecomomical to operate.

I've found the BX can do a lot of remarkable things... even if it takes longer... and it can do some things bigger equipment simply can't.

I paid out the door $14,950 for the BX and consider it money well spent.

They are a great tractor. I had a BX22 that was fantastic, I wish I never sold it.

Psst....Don't tell 4Shorts I tipped you but he is planning as I type this how to get the Grapple and Hydraulic Thumb installed on your unit while you aren't looking. Nice looking unit congrats. It will look much better when you get the 4Shorts accessories installed.
