    Does this exist - BX Hydro Filter "Armor"

    I found this picture on another site posted 22 years ago by a BX tractor owner. Does such a piece of filter armor exist for purchase or was this a DIY project? I know about BXpanded Armor - I own it in fact. But managed to puncture my hydro filter while mowing. Thanks!

    Can I safely pull my disabled BX23S tractor?

    I tried pulling it from the rear with my utility vehicle. But the problem was the steering - absolutely no turning of the steering was possible. So as long as I wanted to tow it in a straight line I was OK, but that won't help me too much. Thank

    Can I safely pull my disabled BX23S tractor?

    Appears that yesterday we punctured the hydro filter under the tractor. I want to use my utility vehicle to pull it across my yard to a more favorable location for doing the repairs. I have released the brakes and put the selector into neutral and I can roll it but I need to move it 3-400 feet...

    Lynch pin instead of snap rings? - BX 3 Point Hitch

    On my BX23S I have to take off the 3-point to use the backhoe. And originally I called them "Snap Rings" because that is what it called them in the instructions.

    Lynch pin instead of snap rings? - BX 3 Point Hitch

    Got my BX 3 Point Hitch from the dealer and put it together this morning for the first time. The left and right lift rods are attached using "snap rings". Any reason why I could not replace those with a correctly sized lynch pin? I can see that the snap ring is going to be a bit more secure...

    54 inch or 60 inch MMM on a BX23S

    After reading this I found this video from Messicks where he shows the differences between the two decks. I can see than the 60 would potentially provide a better cut. Martin

    QA Canopy for BX?

    Anyone have any experience with the Kubota QA Canopy for the BX? (Item E1175) I watched the video that Messicks has of it and this seems like it would meet my need of something that easily comes off so I can fold the ROPS for storage. The Tuff Top canopy appears to be QA as well but I haven't...

    54 inch or 60 inch MMM on a BX23S

    Just about ready to pull the trigger on a BX23S. Was planning on adding the 60 inch MMM (Not the easy-over). But I got to wondering why would someone opt for the 54 inch instead? Narrower would make it easier to maneuver around trees and such I would think. And make it a little easier to...

    Looking to trade . . . down

    As I advance in age, I am considering trading down to a BX23S. I bought my 40hp Mahindra 4035 about 12 years ago when I owned a much less developed piece of property in SE Oklahoma. Added the Bradco 485 BH to it about a year later. Plans were to build our retirement home on this land. Well life...
