    This is exactly what I was thinking about, something simple, plug and play if it don't work just take it off and move on. Thanks

    Hydraulic temperature gage

    Thanks for all of the replies, good, bad, and sarcastic. I think the best answer I got was that if the fluid got low I would notice a decrease in the performance tractor, makes good sense to me. I think this whole thing got blown out of proportion because of people not fully reading my question...

    Hydraulic temperature gage

    You can read my post to Fedup to answer your one question and in regards to your other question I do havefull coverage plates under the tractor. When I broke the first blade I didn,t have any protection so when I replaced the fan I bought plates. When I broke the second blade a stick found a way...

    Hydraulic temperature gage

    In my very limited knowledge of hydraulics when you start to use the hydraulics the temperature of the fluid rises. After filling all of the cylinders the excess fluid is pumped back to the resovour (spelling?) to cool. If you have less fluid in the system it does not have enough time in the...

    Hydraulic temperature gage

    I have a BX23s and I would like to hook up a temperature gage to my hydraulic system. In the past at different times I have had 2 hose leaks and a broken fan blade. I didn't notice neither because I was out in the woods and everything was working fine but when I went to use the tractor the next...

    I don't understand the hate with the "treadle" pedal.

    On my bx23s if you stand up to adjust your pants you ain't going anywhere, the seat safety switch takes care of that.

    BX23S Hydro fan blade

    I'm hoping it was just air bubbles,changing the fluid just in case. I see that you just stripped yours down,I changed mine by going underneith and dropping the drive shaft.I'm getting pretty good at this now, had driveshaft down and fan off in 20 minutes.

    BX23S Hydro fan blade

    In answer to the first reply I didn't measure the temp but when I pulled out the dip stick it was bubbling so I guess it was pretty hot. I'm kind of concerned about adding the front skid plate because thats going to close it up even more. In answer to the second reply I have no idea how a...

    BX23S Hydro fan blade

    I have a 2020 bx23s and about 100 hrs I broke the hydro fan with a stick. After tearing it down and replacing the fan (what fun) I decided to put a Bro-tek shield under it. I just put the shield on the back and not on the front. At 140 hrs I broke the fan blade again but I did not know that I...

    3rd Function Button

    I had the same problem with my new bx23s with dealer installed grapple 40 hours on unit. Picked up a load of brush and grapple wouldn't open. Could not hear solenoids clicking so I figured I had an electrical problem like a blown fuse so I wanted to find out why the fuse blew. After tracing the...
