The creator works through two logs of different sizes, describes rear tires lifting off the ground, improvises with counterweights and a chainsaw, and hits genuine limits. Useful for BX owners curious about loader capacity under heavy, awkward loads.
A hobby homestead owner-operator channel where the host documents real tasks on their own property, mistakes and improvisation included.
It struggled badly, with rear tires off the ground most of the time and the bucket curl needed just to get any ground clearance, showing it was far past its limits.
The back tires lift off the ground, the machine wants to teeter or tip, and the operator must move slowly and keep the log against the machine for stability.
They added counterweight, used a can hook and an 8-foot fence post for leverage, and finally cut two feet off the log with a chainsaw to lighten it.
