Thanks Randy.

Common sense is definitely lacking in today’s society.
The ballast was also a good way to get rid of some scrap metal, an old 3/4hp cast iron electric motor, and a trash can I was never going to use anyway. In total I have about $25 into it for 4 bags of concrete and a couple Cat 1 lower pins.

Bota looks great Adam. "Back in the day" we had a 55 gallon barrel loaded with stones on the back of the 8N. Couldn't keep the rears down without it...

Great pickup..You will never regret it..esp the backhoe...

After getting my BX I never looked back as far as what really was a true Garden Tractor....It fit both worlds if needed.... Has 60 inch deck that my Super had and the FL that saves my back....I was able to get a Zero Turn for the 5 acres and cut my mowing in 2/3s of the time... and have the BX as a back up.. The front pallet forks will come in handy also... Check out BXpanded for other items for Sub Compacts.... If I could find a cheap Cat 1 3 pt snowblower I would pick that up for SnGs....

As much as I love my Cubs, the Bota is a much more useful machine. For me, it’s the perfect size. I’ve got a couple more projects planned for it. I’m making a set of skids for the bucket to keep the cutting edge just off of the ground to keep the gravel in my driveway when moving snow. The other project is a mechanical thumb for the backhoe.

I’ve checked out the BXpanded site. That’s where I got the idea for the hoe dolly.

That thumb will come in handy, are you making it a two thumber one on each side of the dipper?

Yes, 2 fingers. It will fold up against the arm when not in use.

I have to admit though, whoever thought of building those hoes for the compact utility tractors has doubtfully ran one because hes sitting on a beach sipping on a cold beverage with a hott chick on his arm.

A non-hydraulic thumb has about as much a place on a hoe, as that hoe has on that machine. They are absolutely worthless and a PITA without a hydraulic cylinder if you are trying to be productive at all.

I will agree that scuts are far superior to a cub cadet. We have one and, well, I see why Cub said F*** it... Very nice looking machine though, hope you actually get snow to use it, not looking real good round these parts

Just a couple rambles here:

Often wondered how well a 3pt backhoe would work on a utility tractor, say 45 hp range. Dad says they borrowed one back in the 60's/70s and it wasn't all that great. I seem to remember a Woods unit back in the late 80's early 90's with its own seat and outrigger arms--it looked promising.

Something that I have always wanted to run is one of those overgrown lawnmower-sized backhoes made by Terramite. Talked to a commercial contractor once and he said they were great in the right application. They sell for several thousand around here on CL. You can buy a rough running/leaking backhoe for a little more.

I have used those Termites, they work well in the open, digging in soft sand, but in jersey the soils vary and the kubota KX41 always was the better machine to use.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
