    Stumps I hate them.

    I did 3 over the weekend using the BH of my BX23S. I'm getting better at it. Learned that starting further away is better that trying to find a sweet spot near the old trunk. Earlier this year I had to dig a 165' trench for pool wiring and I quickly learned how powerful that bucket curl can be...

    BX23S Hydraulic over fill?

    Thanks. Still learning. I did a complete drain and fill along with a new filter. Cleaned the screen too which was surprisingly clear of junk. Fill line is 1/2 up the hash marks now.

    BX23S Hydraulic over fill?

    Just an update. Dealer was going to be able to come out until after labor day and I got tired of waiting. Pulled tire off and cleaned everything off. Took the two 10mm fasters out that held the shroud around the handles and controls to get to the top of the pump. Ran the engine and watched the...

    BX23S Hydraulic over fill?

    Thanks! I figured I'd have to pull that cover on the fender and I appreciate the tips. The dealer finally called me back late yesterday. They think I overfilled it but pointed out that I had been using it hard in 93 degree heat when I was trenching and that may have contributed to the issue...

    BX23S Hydraulic over fill?

    Thanks. As of this morning, it still shows very high. I get the impression the leak occurs during operation of the tractor. It's from under the right side ("passenger" side) rear fender. Can't see much from below except hard lines and it looks like it's coming from above the fittings and running...

    BX23S Hydraulic over fill?

    Hi everyone, I have a 2021 BX23S. The back hoe was off for the winter and I hooked it back on last week. I was surprised to see how much fluid had dripped out so after I ran the BH through a few cycles, I checked the fluid. Nothing on the dipstick. Added about a quart..maybe a little less...

    BX23S front end hydraulics

    I'm new at this as well and found the jerkiness of the drop speed to be surprising. I had pallet forks on and slid under a pallet of loosely stacked beehives (without bees in them thankfully) and they all tipped over on the way up....I re-stacked them on the raised pallet and they all fell over...

    Bx23s ballast question

    First post for me as I'm new here as well. I just took delivery on a new BX23S. The guy at the dealer talked to me about loaded tires. He asked if I'd have the backhoe on a lot or if I was planning on using the machine without it most of the time. I told him that it would be off more than on so...
