    Kubota BX23S 3rd Function valve connections

    So I have a OEM 3rd Function valve (Diverter) and I can't install my hoses after running the machine with them disconnected, I have to have a second person to activate the diverter solenoid while connecting, no matter what I do the line stays pressurized. For all those who say relieve the...

    BX23S 3rd Function Valve installation

    So I finally gt my 3rd function valve BX2412 is anyone is looking :) Since Dealer installation cost was $250 which I think is kind of high I decided to install it myself. I looked over the instructions and it looks pretty simple other than needing to disconnect all lines and lifting cylinders...

    To Buy or Not to Buy?

    If you have the cash then buying used would be no problem and you'd be able to sell it for close to what you paid for, if you have to finance buying new with 0% is usually the way to go. I just looked at doing this and was getting quotes anywhere from 6%-9% for financing and that brought the...

    Are the third valve option on the new BX23S installed at the factory?

    This is my exact plan I want a grapple but it's not in the card this year so it'll be something I'll look at later, I thought I'd order the 3rd function kit with the tractor but the dealer would have had to order it so my plan is to do it at a later date when I find the grapple I want since land...

    Titan Pallet Forks

    How do you like these forks? I almost purchased them because of the receiver hitch but I only have a BX23S and was looking for the lightest set of forks and when I added the forks the weight went up to almost 300#, so my dealer got a set of light weight 205# so I can still lift a good amount of...

    Pallet Forks for BX23S SSQA

    B2650 - Good deal?

    My only suggestion is find out the cost of a FEL and add it to the price and see how far off from new it is. I was looking for a TLB and most tractors for sale around me had only FEL some nothing and when I factored in the cost it wasn't far off from new and I got 0% Sent from my iPhone using...

    Barlows and why I now have a JD1025R

    Wow, I wish Barlow's was $2500 cheaper with shipping, I would cancel my order :) but the important thing is you have a tractor and you're happy with it. I almost went JD just because I could get the backhoe at a later date, but ultimately did not like there setup, getting on the backhoe made me...
