Hi guys. I have a BX23S in one part of the province and I have the Backhoe unit stored in my shop some where else. I need to load the backhoe on to my trailer using the old fashioned "Tugg and Grunt" method. I haven't got the capabillities to bring the tractor back to pick up the BH because the...

Thanks everybody. Just wanted to sure.

Hi. I have replaced all the boom dipper and bucket lines on my Bradco 8LD backhoe mounted on a B8200 HST. It has been a long time coming. Everything is re-connected and I am ready to get it working. Have the boom and dipper connected and on the tractor. All the lines had been drained and removed...

Thanks all for the info. I did go on the intertubes and found the mentioned solution on a couple of videos. I guess in my excitement of using the new equipment I wasn't thinking straight.

I just purchased a used 3point hitch wood chipper for my BX23s . Am I missing something or can I not leave the tractor seat with the wood chipper PTO engaged. I know I can start the trac5or while not seated if the parking brake is engaged but it dosen't seem to be the case with the pto. Is the...

I realise this thread is older but I had to post my situation. I have read many accounts of BX23S owners having this problem. Mine was a late 2017 so by the time I took mine in, with 80 hours it it was six years old and not covered by warranty. My service, Stewarts in ontario quoted me a $350.00...

I use a 4' scraper blade on my. BX23S. It was marked as a Yanmar blade and and I presume from the pins it had been used on a smaller tractor. It is a very robust unit and I got it for a couple of hundred bucks. I have moved tons of driveway pack and graded for my driveway and with the addition...

I have drilled holes all over Ontario for years installing pressure treated playground up rights. I used a Land pride(before Kubota acquired them) mounted on my B8200 Manual 3ph. I have dug in every kind of ground you can imagine and had success in most except prehistoric creek beds. They are...

I too should not be joking about glowplugs and new owners of tractors. I have learned so much from this forum because everybody is truly helpful and takes every question with good intent. I always tipped my hat to Wolfman because his knowledge is vast. A funny story of mine was The B8200 was my...

I bought my used B8200 manual in 1996 and it came with a Bradco 8LD back hoe mounted with a full frame and the 300 front end loader. I worked that tractor very hard in my playground construction business and later retired(?) it to an island in Georgian Bay Ontario where it has spent the last 20...

what about the glow plugs? I guess the manual will spell that out after the battery is brought up to scratch

My 2018 BX23 leaks and I am getting it replaced. I only have about 85 Hrs on my unit so I hope the warranty is still good

I have swapped the front end loader from my B8200 manual to my B8200 HST including the entire sub frame. I am now reassembling my Bradco 8LD back hoe that has been in pieces for perhaps four years in preparation for all new hoses and some pivot pins, bushings and a cylinder rebuild. I would...

The scoop is apparently a Ford 703, not as tall as the posted 706 and is 24 inches wide. I have photos in my google photos but have to figure how to add them

Yes you are right. My mistake on the mm not cm. And the implement is the 3pt hitch reversable scoop. The 30 inch scoop is 730 mm I haven't got a picture.
