So, took my tractor to the dealer I bought it from for warrantee and or insurance work. I had 2 weeks left on warrantee (I thought it was a good month but I was way off). First call I asked them to proceed with warrantee and insurance work only. When they picked it up, I gave them a list and...

I was told that you can check hydro level at any time, with loader/backhoe any position and the fluid would be the same level. Well, that wasnt true, diff positions produced diff results, so, I started the tractor to see what the running level was, like in a auto trans car. When I pulled the...

So, been just about 2 years (1 month away) and I did my 800 hour service this weekend. When I removed the hydro filter, it made a loud "POP" noise. Seems there was a lot of pressure in there ...somewhere. Is that normal??????

Preferably looking for a chart but if someone knows the torque rise, could you share? I sure as heck cant find any info on it. Thanks

I consider my BX23s a 80%'er. It does most of what I want it to do 80% of the time but for the other 20% I have to literally beat it to hell and back. I always wanted the B2601 instead and was thinking of getting that. Anyone have any idea if a B2601 will get me to the 90-95% promise land...

Who has heard a mower deck spindle bearing going bad? Keep that in mind..... Started my tractor and let it idle for about 3-5 minutes. All of a sudden it went from normal running sound to an added bad spindle bearing sound. I wasnt sure if I was hearing things because it blended in so well...

I am still trying to get all the figures together, but, I dont see any "lifting" benefits between clamp on bucket forks and dedicated QA forks. If the BX23s has 1,000lb (rounded) lift at the pin (no bucket), then you add a 120lb bucket on a QA, you get 500lb lift at 48" according to TTwTim. A...

Stuck a mechanical thumb on my backhoe to grab things. Snatch up a 8"-10" x 4ft log, squeeze it and crunch it tight, try to run across the yard ( 800ft?) with it and it drops from the grips. small boulders a little bigger than the bucket or anything else and it drops. I have to drive with one...

How many hours does it take others to lose all the coolant out of their over flow? I am at 230 and level went down to rubber tube, maybe even farther. I have added water but have not warmed it up to cycle the fluid, so, not sure if its beed sucking air or not. Comes up a little when warm...

Suffice it to say it may be hard to belive, but, I have no idea where on my property there is level spot. Maintenance kept up by a hillbilly before me has led to absolutely nothing being level, whatsoever. I have the 3 point hitch coming in this week so I am gonna mount up the box blade this...

Hi all, well, I am one lucky SOB to now be the proud owner of a Woods GB60" box blade for $200. Looks like the other guy before me got cold feet trying to lift a 500lb piece of steel and I was next up. A little sad because I didnt even do any work. There was a road cut through a 4 ft high...

So, as some of you know, I have the Kubota 23s with backhoe. I am gonna take that off and throw on a box blade. I have been looking at the hydraulic top links, and, since I am picking up a box blade for dirt cheap (pun intended). I have plenty of money left over (assuming the box blade was...

When I first got the tractor and started using the backhoe, it was feathering the controls so slow it would take me about 30 seconds to send the arm out and scrape forward to get a full bucket of dirt, or, basically, slower than molasses. I spend 2 days doing that and I have to say I got pretty...

This will be a little lengthy just so everyone knows where my thinking is, good and bad. After seeing tractors scoop virgin earth, and knowing all the other projects I could use a tractor for, I went ahead and got myself a little 23s . I have to dig some holes for in ground water tanks, make a...

So, just bought a new BX23s. I plan to use it to level out the yard, hence, scoop up a lot of compacted(?) yard dirt. Plan is to scrape 2-4" of the surface at a time, but, this being my first ever tractor, we will see how it goes. My first concern and question is traction. I will have the...
