Are you happy with the look? The ride / handling? Any downside to it ( scraping / harshness? )

Drove it once down the street since the install to make sure the rear springs seated. That was it.

Might be going on Monday to pick up a new ride. The style is 100% redneck..........yeah BABY!!

This is not mine...just a google image. But I'm going to trade in my 2009 BX2360. These things hold their value better than about any other thing on the market. The tractor I hope to bring home is a B3200 w/ deck and loader. Kubota has 5yrs at 0% and after the trade I'll be about $160/mth. The wife asked if I was getting a backhoe for it..........told her I already had a hoe! ;)

I put 412hrs on my BX2360 in 4.5yrs. That's way more than my F150 has seen in the same time period!! I use it for everything around the house and helping folks...from landscaping, firewood, plowing to lifting out motors. They are awesome!!

there is a brand new one on c-list with 10hrs on it for 15k with a 3pt mower and loader.

I understand about unloading yours though....

**Dan B.** · 09-28-2013, 11:46 PM

That's a nice machine. Did you see the mustang in the garage in front if it?

I did. ;)

how much are kubota backhoes for that machine...$4k-$5k?

**somethingclever** · 09-28-2013, 11:52 PM

btw the bx23 is a nice little machine...my buddy has one that I used to dig a drain ditch in front of one of my buildings and it was impressive for such a small machine...super easy to use (tight)...way nicer than my old international backhoe.

**Dan B.** · 09-28-2013, 11:54 PM

Not sure on the hoe. Using the "Build my Tractor" feature on their site, it looks to be a $6,800 option.

I did some looking and don't think you can get a MMM for the 3300 model. The B3200 looks to be the biggest you can get a MMM for. And since my in-house hoe will be using it to mow, she likes the MMM better so that's what I'll get.

I've done some major work with my 2360. Love that machine....LOVE IT!! But I really do need a bigger one. My dad has a 2001 L2600DT. It has the strength that I need but it's a stick shift and not as manuverable/user friendly as the newer ones.

**somethingclever** · 09-29-2013, 12:54 AM

ya the hydro's are pretty sweet I have to admit.

I am undecided between a T250-T300 or a 30-40 hp Kubota....

With all the necessary attachments the tractor is definately the cheaper of two....

Anyone know anywhere that media blasts? I've got a ton of parts off the bike I need blasted.

**somethingclever** · 09-30-2013, 11:52 PM

The wife and I have been going to the South Hill Bible Chapel on Sundays for the past few weeks as the Pastor there, Ron Moore, has started a 12-week series called "Family Under Attack." The sermons have been really good and encouraging. You can watch online Sunday mornings or watch the video online the week after the sermon. This week was on divorce. Here is the link in case anyone wants to listen/watch:

I think this series (different topic each week) will stretch into early November.

Isn't Envirosafe still around? Or maybe Randy offers blasting services? He probably blasts parts prior to powdercoating them.

I tryed envirosafe when I needed my hood on my 95 done around 3 or 4 years ago. Guy gave me the run around for 6 months. Ill PM randy. Figure I will just call around different body shops and see if they do or know anyone.

Thanks for sharing John! I'm going to take a listen here sometime this week when I'm away at work and have nothing else much to do!

Saw a mustang earlier at Maple Grove. Unfortunately the driver wasn't out.

**PaxtonShelby** · 10-07-2013, 04:46 PM

Just saw a "be a Slim Jim donor" commercial - pretty funny stuff!

**Dan B.** · 10-07-2013, 05:24 PM

^^^ This!

**Monkeygrits** · 10-07-2013, 10:43 PM

I found this pic looking though my smartphone after the weekend . Timed it perfect. Look at the tree. Especially for top fuel.

I called around today to find a storage unit to throw the mustang in. Best I could find is around 110-120 a month for a 10x20. Didn't really think it would be that much. I wanted to stay local though. I'm going to call the storage place on Racetrack road tomarrow.
