Loving my new BX1860

[MerkurRS]

It's been about two months now since my new BX came home and every time I use it, I am more and more impressed.
I mean, how did I survive without this useful toy all these years?

First, let me introduce you to Terao, my BX1860. The name Terao, comes from a famous Japanese Sumo wrestler. Terao had a long pedigree, coming from a family of wrestlers, he was smaller, but extremely agile, quick and strong- especially for his size. So, this name fits my BX perfect!
So far, it's replaced my wheelbarrow in moving all mulch this season, moving dirt to fill in low spots in my yard, moving rocks to build a small stone wall and cutting grass of course.
Recently, we cut up several large pine trees that fell due to a storm, Terao helped clear the land by pulling large logs into the clearing for cutting up, digging up stumps and moving all the cut wood. The diesel power and 4wd have been invaluable! Every month I find a job it can help with, saving me to pay someone else to do it, all helping to earn his keep here!
I am currently working on fabricating a front mount and rear mounted receiver, I will post pics when they're done.

The BX's do far more than they appear that they could..Congrats on the new machine and many happy hours.

Maybe the best of all is that you'll keep finding ways to use it that you're not even thinking of right now. One day something will come up that you need to do and it will hit you: Oh yeah, Terao can handle that!

Of course, you're going to have to add some implements from time to time in order to make your tractor even more useful.

You are not alone. I have accomplished more on my property in the last three months since I purchased my 1860, than in the previous 9 years. I prepped and planted a small vineyard, cleaned up a big pile of concrete/dirt, cleared a spot in the woods for apple trees. Transplanted some small cedar trees. Thats the short list, there is a ton more. My only disapointment is the small tires and wheels. Thanks to bp fick that has been dealt with as well. I'm glad that you seem to be enjoying yours as much as I am enjoying mine. Still makes me smile everytime I start it.

I said the exact same thing when I got mine. How did I get by for years without the BX ?

Congrats on your purchase. I have the BX1500 and have found that it is worth its weight in gold!!

I really can't see much if any difference between the tires on my BX23 and the smaller tires on my Bx1500s.
