Does anyone know if I can take a GCK 60–23BX grass catcher unit and mount it on my 2021 Kabota BX 23S - 3 point hitch, or use the existing backhoe bracket to mount the material collection system?
I found a very lightly used 2008 GCK 60–23BX locally and would like to use it on my tractor if I can.
what modifications if any, would I need to make?

On my BX1870, I had to install two support stays for my GCK 60–23BX…these stay on the BX1870, I do not know if that is compatible with the BX23S. There isn’t a lot if room back there.

That looks rather similar to how my BH attaches except I have two posts in the area where it shows a sleeve being inserted as on your brackets. Here’s a picture of what mine looks like.

On my second file there is a drawing for installation on a BX24, which is what was available back then before the BX 25 and now the BX23S…”maybe“ it can be done on a BX23S as well.
Maybe there is a chance that the ”U” shaped supports for your backhoe will hold/support the grass catcher that are provided by brackets for non-backhoe variants?

The remaining obstacles are (see attachment):
1. You have pins that are already installed where the grass catcher used removable pins (similar to the FEL), and
2. Since the grass catcher simply “sits” on the two “U” shaped supports there is a plate that is added to the left/port side of the mount to keep it from popping out should you hit a bump.
