    I need "that" pin

    BX 23S The one that fits in the center of this plate. Mine snapped, is lost and the plate keeps falling off. In watching the Messicks video it looks to be a funky two diameter pin. Can someone snap a picture of theirs for me? I called the dealer and they were too busy to deal with this little...

    BX23S Backhoe wood splitter mod

    I know I know, just go buy a splitter, but that's no fun. Does anyone think the power of a BX 23S backhoe is strong enough to use as a log splitter? I've seen a few designs and videos of other tractors, thinking of making one myself. :geek: Paul

    BXPanded Ripper + Quick change adapter

    2020 BX 23S I just ordered the BXpanded root ripper to take care of some stumps and roots in my backyard, as my bucket was just not cutting it, literally and figuratively. Did I make a mistake not ordering the quick change adapter to go back to my bucket when needed? Knowing me I will want to be...

    BX New(?) hydraulic leak spot to watch

    2020 BX 23S, 90 hours, babied. I noticed a small puddle after plowing last night, poked around and saw wetness under the quick coupler. If you look at this pic you will notice the blue and yellow lines that come up into the manifold have worked their way loose, the washers there can be spun...

    Grapple /Third function not working

    2020 BX 23S, 90 hours. Dealer installed Third Function. I played with it last year in the yard, worked fine. Never even wore the paint off the tines yet. Moving things around for winter, hooked it up, factory third function button lights up, but nothing. I only have the normal arm lift and...

    BX23S for sale in Central Massachusetts

    This is NOT mine. I just happen to be looking at Facebook Marketplace and this popped up. I figured someone may be shopping for one of these. It seems legit, but I have no way of knowing for sure. Dealer sticker on the lift arm matches the big dealer in that area...

    Modding old gas log splitter to new BX23S

    Found a non-running gas log splitter on CL for relatively cheap. Can I drop the motor off this thing, fab a 3 point hitch, get the right flat top connectors and hook it up to my backhoe hydraulics?

    Mechanical Self Leveling Forks ?

    I see this is standard/optional whatever on LX series tractors. Would sure be cool to have something like this on my BX. Has anyone looked into this? How it is devised? Feasibility on a BX sized tractor? Yes, I am daydreaming with this idea. Thanks Paul

    Budget Man Basket

    Actually came out pretty sturdy for an accountant with a circular saw. 🤣 :geek: Should I go Kubota orange with it? Or safety yellow? 1) Haven't tested it yet, I hope it can lift my fat ass. 2) I hope my wife is proficient with the FEL controls, or, my life insurance is paid up.

    Giving up on a chipper

    I balked back in March when I started to look for a 3 point chipper for my BX23S. Now everywhere I look, sold out, or to be shipped in July. Anyone out there see anything in stock? Or used for sale in the Northeast? I may just say screw it and buy a gas powered unit on wheels. :confused:

    NewB Q: Squirted some fluid, refill ?

    OTT first! then manual and google: BX23S kinked/bent a loose newly installed grapple line. Squirted me right in the face. Lost about 6 oz of fluid overall fixing and re-tightening. 1) Should I be worried? 2) How where and what to refill with? 3) It will bleed itself right? It seems to have...

For my first 34 hours I seem to remember the original stick would return to center quite well, neutral position, unless I jammed it forward for floating. Now...

    BX 23S - can you leave on the snowblower quick hitch AND have the FEL?

    Just got my k-connect snowblower today, Newbie fiddling around, it LOOKS like there's enough room to keep the quick hitch on and put on the bucket, only problem is I cannot get the parking stand folded back up. I may try to build a makeshift stand and see if I can have both. Would save a lot...
