    B 2650- seat safety switch-

    Being a hydrostat, it won’t far if say a tree branch rakes you off, my old geared tractor with no safety switches would just keep going until it hit something or ran out of diesel.

    Loader Getting Weak With Use?

    Run the tractor with the backhoe off, or still on for counter weight but hydraulics unhooked. I went trough something similar when my 2021 was brand new. Dealer had to replace the backhoe valve block, luckily it was under warranty, the repair would have cost $2500.

    [BX23S] How do you like that seat angle??

    Seat angle doesn’t bother me a bit now that I disabled the safety switch, before that, yes, annoying.

    Mole Purge

    Wire Tek 1001 EasySet Mole Eliminator Trap (2 Pack) | Made in The USA!! https://a.co/d/fZMstqT These work great, kind of expensive, but made in the USA. Dogs work too, but do more damage to the lawn than the moles.

    Is There An Advantage To Getting A Factory Third Function?

    My vote is for the Kubota 3rd function vs the Land Pride. Cleaner install, everything stays on the loader when the loader is removed, just an electrical connection for removal, way better ergonomics, and comfort on the control stick. It is a diverter valve, but I’ve never needed to curl my...

    BX23S can't lift front bucket loaded with gravel

    https://www.bxpanded.com/pressure-tester It is worth it for piece of mind, and if you’re feeling frisky, bump your pressure up to 2000psi for a little extra lifting power.

    Low power output for Zero Turn Z231KH

    I’ve had to replace a coil 3 times in 200 hours on my Kohler. Luckily it is cheap and easy. Not much power running on one cylinder.

    Did a 3rd function install decrease your lift capacity?

    FYI, I was underwhelmed by my lifting capacity, bought the gauge and found the pressure on my new tractor at 1650 psi, shimmed it to 1900, now I’m happy.

    Did a 3rd function install decrease your lift capacity?

    Could have been heavier pallets? Get the Bxpanded pressure test gauge and shims, test the pressure, if it is under 1900 PSI shim it.

    First tractor, questions new bx23s

    The Kubota 3rd function is a diverter, so all of the magic happens up on the loader; no hoses from the rear of the tractor. The only thing coming from the rear is a wire that is tucked in beside the loader disconnect.

    First tractor, questions new bx23s

    I don’t have a mmm, all BX’s have the linkage, but my Bxpanded skid plate does mount using the linkage. All problems disappeared when they swapped out the Land Pride 3rd function for the Kubota 3rd function like I originally requested. Also, the dealer is no more, just my luck they dropped...

    Here is where they zip tied my hose, this may have interfered with my Bxpanded skid plate. Lol.

    First tractor, questions new bx23s

    Here is a picture after my tractor was delivered. First problem crap install, second problem I specifically requested the Kubota 3rd function kit not Land Pride. Dealer took the tractor back, and installed the Kubota 3rd function, I was happy as a clam. Few of my favorite upgrades, Bxpanded...
