I'll have to look at the Operator's Manual. Funny how the dealer was very serious about NOT adding wheel spacers, but was ready pushing the Rim Guarst ballast for the rear tires. EDIT: found it in the Operator' Manual. Guess I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow.

Dealer recommended it for my terrain and uses. Also never going to use a MMM.

Plenty of videos on Youtube of people holding logs between the bucket and thumb to get them off the ground for bucking. Of course the thumb with the bucket don't even come close to replacing the grapple, but for now it gets those logs up off the ground for me.

Grapple would have been awesome, but unfortunately wasn’t in the budget with also adding the third function, the cost of installation and the grapple itself.

I don't have and won't ever use a mower deck, so for me it's a moot point.

Took delivery of a BX23S yesterday and had Rim Guard ballast added to the rear tires. I noticed that they used the stock rubber valve stems. Mentioned this to the employee that dropped off the tractor and he said that's just what they do there. When you go to Rim Guard's website under the FAQ...

Well, I've already cut down around 25+ trees after the winter storm we had in February. Was one of the main motivators to get a tractor. Got tired of lugging the rounds 3-4 at a time in a. wheelbarrow to my woodshed. And I have a pile of trunks I need to buck and stack after cutting a few more...

Took delivery today on a new BX23S. Entire property is on a slight grade on 2 acres. One of my neighbors also has a BX23S and has put 500 hours on his over the last three years and loves it, and was one of the reasons I went with a Kubota. I spoke to the manager of the dealership about wheel...

Took delivery today of a new BX23S. Never owned a tractor before. Dealer pretty much specs out their tractors with the quick release for the front hydraulics, blade that bolt on to the bottom edge of the FEL bucket and the mechanical thumb. I added the 48" box blade, front forks and a land rake...

I prefer the cold weather. Can alway put more on. Hate sleeping when it's hot out.

Any issue with adding a D-ring shackle to the rear of the tractor where some would put a ball or a hitch receiver? I've seen people mount a shackle/clevis back there with a 90-degree bend. Any concern if you mounted the D-ring without a bend in it? Back of tractor: D-ring shackles:

I have very rocky terrain on half my property.

I'm hoping to take delivery of the tractor sometime next week. Part of my property is a bit rocky, lots of brush, sticks, etc. I ordered a full set (all three) skid plates from Bro-tek. Don't want to take any chances having anything damage the tractor from underneath. Although more expensive...

i live in a rural area and there’s the Libota dealer here, New Holland and a Mahindra dealer. to be honest, I’m most likely going to get chains no matter what tire I get. I also have very rocky terrain in some places and the R4’s are 6-ply tires and probably a bit more durable. So I’ll probably...

I was thinking the same thing regarding pine needles, but it would be great for picking up pine cones, sticks and small limbs and other ground debris and even piling up some deep duff on a section of the yard. I also have a Stihl Combi system and the blower is great for pine needles on the...

Interesting. I told the dealer I wanted R14’s because everything I’ve read has said they are better in the snow than the R4’s and he insisted the R4’s were superior in snow, hands down. I still think R14’s would be a better. Voice and haven’t taken delivery of the tractor. a friend got their...

This is basically two questions in one... 1. Taking delivery next week of a BX23S. I live on uneven ground with a loose topsoil and clay underneath. Some arts of the property I haven't go to yet as far as maintenance goes have a loose layer of soil and quite a bit of duff from decaying pine...

Taking delivery on a BX23S next week. Wasn't something I was originally considering, but after watching a couple videos in addition to a box blade I also picked up a land rake. I have a lot of pine needles that I rake up by hand twice a year along with limbs, branches, pine cones and other...

Haha! Was wondering if anyone would get the reference! Now quit lookin' at my gut!

Yeah, that happened with chainsaws. Started with the small MS180, then a pole saw, then a small Dewalt electric chainsaw and then the MS400. Lucky for me I'll probably be broke soon with all the projects, so won't be able to trade up for a while!
