I was at my local welding shop the other day and saw a mig wire designed for very thin metal. I have a Lincoln Weldpack 100 with the argon/CO2 for mild steel. I have been involved in go kart racing for several years. I build the chassis and roll cages and my children crash them. They are really good racers, no major wrecks (daughter is a former track champ) but I have to joke with them a little bit. Check out the link for this wire, it may solve your problem on the thin steel. I have not used this product, my materials are .083 or .095 thickness.<br>

I feel that the BX series would tackle all of your major task. The only question is the tree moving. If the timber is large and you have a bunch of it then look at the B7510 or maybe the new B2930. The BX is more than powerful than you expect, but lacks the weight needed to really get the big grunt jobs knocked out. Call your local rental equipment dealer for your pond excavation. Big excavators are a blast to operate and a wheel loader will get the dirt out of the way. Have a great time with all that land, sounds like you are going to be busy ! !

Congrats on your new machine ! !

I just picked up my BX2230 last week and love it ! I work for the local dealer and very rarely do we see a problem with the BX line of machines. I agree with the advise of using only compact attachment. We could really use a boom pole, but the only ones I can find are made for the larger tractors. The weight of the material on the end of a 6' long pole sounds scary because I am not fond of riding wheelies ! I think we shall fire up the welder and craft a 3 footer off the same basic design. If I had a FEL perhaps it would be a different story with the added front mass. Still saving the pennies for that glorious day.

I have seen something simular to this on our rental machines. Problem could be in the loader valve detent assembly. The lube used when these are assembled will dry out and the 4 small detent balls will hang in the sleave causing the control to be eratic. Try sending the control into the bucket float position. If the detent is sticking it will be very difficult to get in and out of float. It is easy enough to take this apart for inspection, cleaning and relube but is difficult to reassemble this device. Let me know if you need any instruction with the detent, I have done a few of them and know a few tricks.

Purchased the BX2230 Friday and got to cut some grass today. What an awesome machine ! The 54" mid mount mower makes short work of the lawn. I am sure it will cut really well after we get our yard level. Still waiting on the boxblade, King Kutter truck is going to be in town next week with our BB48XB. Now I need to save my pennies for the LA211 loader. I have worked for the local Kubota Dealer for the last 18 months and finally talked my wife into this machine. Let her run it up and down the driveway this morning but she doesn't know were I hid the key!!! Think I am going to weld up a trailer ball attachment for use with the 3 point hitch and buy a boom pole to assist my fence re-erection project caused by Hurricane Ivan.....
