You can tell the wife that, but we all know you mean "toy box".

Yeah I know exactly what you are talking about. I spent a hour or so this past fall working on a little area under the trees that might be my BX's future bed.
lol sounds like you all know what you are talking about!
I took out several (probably about a dozen) small stumps over the last few days. It is awesome having the backhoe! I am up to 16 engine hours so far.
I also used the backhoe to dig a shallow trench to install some gutter drains. I managed to snap one in-progress picture. We have red clay here and it is a nightmare to dig by hand. The BX handles it without problem. I have several more to dig but those will have to wait a few days... darn work gets in the way of progress sometimes!

Looking good, thanks for the update and the pics, we all enjoy sharing in your progress. It's funny, we built our family home 25 years ago and raised 2 daughters. All that time I could never afford a nice tractor and trailer. Fast forward, I'm almost 60 and my youngest daughter and her husband just built a house close to us on just 1 acre, perhaps 1/2 in grass and 1/2 wooded. I joke with her that she's caused me to drop $40k in the last 2 months to buy the BX25D, new shed, new dump trailer, new Stihl saw etc., because I want to clean out the wooded area, trench all their gutter drain lines away from the house, etc.. Glad they built, gave me a legit reason to finally get the stuff I've wanted for so long. I may actually get to use them on my property too. :laughing: Keep the pics and progress coming. Good luck!
I look forward to reading about your projects John!
I installed drains for three more gutters yesterday but forgot to take pictures. I've got four more to go and will be all done with that project.
Today, I spread some sand in close quarters for my friend. Him and his family are farmers and I couldn't help but take a picture of the little BX in front of their Deere S680 combine.

LOL that is why I couldn't help but take a picture of it at the farm... The smallest piece of equipment with a loader is their Deere 332 skid steer, and it was too big to get into the show calf stalls. He has two sheds facing one another and it is pretty tight. Not a problem for the little BX though. I didn't even take the backhoe off, even though I had to angle it a few times to back up enough to turn into the stalls.
I kind of made up for borrowing their Deere 8100 and 12' box blade last winter.

Looking good Walker! I have over 240hrs in two years on mine... and I have a day job. Wife is getting jealous of the time I spend with my other love.

That's a great picture of the tractor with house in background, should frame it up and after you have been there 10-20 years it would be cool to look back at how different the house and yard looks
