    23S -Sheared the Control Lever Rod end bolt

    Bacon's in Williamsburg to the rescue. Yea almost probably could have threaded it back in, but the last 1/4 inch or so sheared off. Soft bolt, easy-out got the broken end out without a problem to my amazement. Heim joint! Being an offroad Jeep guy I should have known that. Dealer says it...

    23S -Sheared the Control Lever Rod end bolt

    This ever happen to anyone? Just curious. I was plowing along tonight, Went to lift up and nothing, just loose flopping. I immediately could tell it felt like some linkage in the arm snapped as there was no resistance. After the swearing was completed, I tried side to side movement and that was...

    BX23s Pin Bucket vs 2 lever

    You won't realize the difference. If you're buying "only" a 23S, you're prime concern isn't lift capacity anway. If you want to be on par with the pin bucket, just add a shim or two. Convenience > capacity loss, just MHO. It's awesome to flip back and forth between the bucket, forks, and grapple...

    Dont Make This Political

    Because the D.T. or J.B words have not been mentioned yet. Even if I was a moderator here, I'd let it slide, so far.......

    BX23S Wheel Spacers Recommendation

    Get your tires weighted with beet juice. Also makes a big difference.

    2005 BX23 with 100 hours, Loader and Backhoe, $12K, Is this a good deal? Stored indoors, clean

    Unicorns do exist. This sounds like it could be one of them. I've got some 2007 Can Am's with only 500 miles on them. My 2020 BX23S is low hours I think with only ~100. Some folks buy toys and never use them. I say go for it.

    So, who are the potheads out there?

    Tumeric for aches. Works wonders. Pot just makes me (more) anxious.

    Torque Wrenches

    That looks like a GREAT deal!

    flat face connectors

    I've read about and tried every tip in the book about this. Read all the threads here. Still have the same problems OP has no matter what. The only solution that works for me: Crack the lines on the Grapple with a wrench, then connect them.

    Mortality Rate

    I do this on some boards for specific reasons. eg: wifes Chevy Traverse will have a specific problem, I join to get info and answers, get it solved and never return for years until maybe another problem shows up, loll. I mean, who would want to hang out in a chevy traverse forum all the time??

    3 point chipper?

    I have a 23S, same HP as you? My Woodland Mills WC 46 runs fine.

    2017 BX23S with 110 hours - ignore "hours" service interval and change fluids?

    2020 BX23S here with 109 hrs. I've done oil, filter, HST filter change but no Hydraulic oil just yet. I may do mine at 150, we'll see. Of course, I think my rear PTO seal is leaking, so that may alter the schedule a bit.

    Bxpanded Ripper question

    Rookie here with the Ripper, took my first stump out last week. It was a biggun, 12"'s + around. It was tedious but fun at the same time, I asked specifically here if I made a mistake not ordering the QA for the ripper, figured I'd try without it. Maybe just me but I don't think it was too...
