Used the BX25 to lift the new grill on the deck

Ah every time my ol'lady gets on me about my 7510 i just tell her she's just jealous, because I have more hours on the tractor than i do on her.

I purchased a new BBQ for the deck and the grill was very heavy, like 300lbs. I used the BX and FEL to lift it up four steps and set it on the deck. Worked out great, two wheels on the inside of the bucket and a strap around the grill to the arms. So I told the wife it's great that we had this little work horse to help us. She said we could have done without both the BX and the BBQ!!!

That was the same reaction that I got when I used the FEL on my B7100 to put our 550lb wood stove on the deck to bring it in the house ( comment was for the B7100, not the wood stove ). Of course, the guys delivering the stove to me were very grateful

Hate to say it but my reply would have been; "Yeah. I could do OK without YOU too"!!

Get a cab for the BX25 before you do that -- you'll be sleeping on the tractor after that.

Gheez, guys, you really have it rough. All I had to do was agree to paint the bedrooms. (And build a road for her sister's cottage.....And put in a garage....and make a parking pad for the pontoon boat....and.......well, some other things.)

All I had to do was sell my zero turn, build a riding arena, clean up the pasture, fix the driveway, do some landscaping, build a couple retaining walls, spread gravel, expand the driveway and collapse a cistern. Course neglecting all those things due to the days and days that it would take with a mattocks and shovel did the trick too. Now she loves my tractor. Lots of work gets done

Well, I started with all the major chores much like other posters. Then I discovered a better approach. Wifey is a bit on the small side and definiitely not gonna be able to muscle much of anything. But, she does love her plants and shrubs.

Step one: Offered the use of my rechargeable reciprocating saw for trimming the little limbs off the Crepe Myrtles. Much easier than the loppers. Use expanded rapidly to more substantial trimming projects. Worked great! One less chore for me!

Step two. Tractor driving lessons and demonstration as to how many gardening tools you can carry around with you. Also, the ease of transporting potting soil, new plants, fertilizer, et al.

Step three: Demonstrated ease of installing forks and ease of disposal of limbs and sticks trimmed off in step 1. Showed how larger and more, new shrubs, flowers, etc. could be transported and rearranged without listening to grouchy old man who has missed his nap.

Haven't heard a complaint about the tractor in 2 years now.
