    Rubber Floor Mat

    Planning for spring project, remove floor mat to clean well underneath. Better to remove forever and do rhino lining or similar or simply buy replacement clips to replace mat? I figure it should be removed at least twice a year to clean/inspect under it?

    SSQA snow blower for BX23

    anyone know of a snowblower for a bx23 that is ssqa compatible? I've seen some that are "self-contained" meaning no PTO hookups. I'm wanting to have true quick change ability between the snow blower and bucket.

    Cold start after a month of sitting

    I know that starting a diesel is a violent act. Mine has been sitting for over a month without being started.

    BX23S float position on loader

    106 hours on my BX23s. When in float for winter moving of snow it seems to come out of float and into lower position now. Was fine previously. Is there an adjustment on the valve? I want to use float so that I can still steer the tractor but it ends up lifting the front wheels off the ground.

    Does this harm the steering wheel?

    I am a 220# guy. I noticed yesterday that every time I get on the tractor (BX23) I use the steering wheel to pull myself up. Due to a right knee replacement I need the extra bit of help. Am I doing any harm to the steering column?

    Winch on a bx23?

    Wondering if a receiver mounted winch on the 3PH would work on a BX23? I have pulleys/cables etc. and wonder if the battery/alternator would support a 2500#winch? Likely would never get close to the 2500# with pulleys etc. so I could go smaller winch.

    PTO caps

    Anyone with experience with PTO caps? I am likely not needing to use either PTO on my BX23s for a few years, so I'm gonna grease the splines and add PTO caps. These are Kubota caps, about $6 each so I figure they can't hurt to cover them in case I do want to use them in the years ahead?

    Leave it running or shut it off

    I see a few posts but cant seem to find them now. Going to be loading firewood into a utility cart and stacking. Probably 5-10 minutes between loads. Better to shut the BX23s down or leave it running? If running, leave it at idle or at a higher RPM?

    BX23s backhoe thumb

    On the thumb arm there are 2 pins with no grease fittings although they are pivot points when adjusting the thumb, I assume these should be removed periodically and greased to avoid rusting into a stuck position? They are held in by 2 bolts and lock nuts (not the same size bolts strangely...
