Just bought a BX23S

[Giglr]

I'm new to this, having never owned a riding mower let alone a tractor.
I have 10 acres out of town, not my residence, that I'll mostly be mowing & some grading. Some trenching for septic lines as necessary & putting in a small garden.
My question is, what do I need to keep there? Thinking a 5 gallon diesel can, small air compressor. Hand tools I can run back and forth. Some oil, transmission & hydraulic fluid. Etc...
Any help would be great!!

Sunscreen, Some good gloves, grease gun and maybe something to wipe the smile off your face. Enjoy your new tractor.

Consider wheel spacers if you have a slope. Check out some of the ROP lights that folks have rigged up. Chain hooks for the bucket...I keep a couple 5' lenghts of 1/4" chain on my front grill.

I'm pretty aggressive with my tractor...so I keep a bunch of spare parts at hand. Definitely get a filter kit...fuel and oil filters... nothing sucks more than a clogged filter to ruin a weekend. Extra pins.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the OTT forum Giglr. You have come to the right place to get answers.

Congrats on your new toy... I mean tractor.

I always keep a 5 gallon can of diesel fuel handy. I hate to not have enough fuel around to finish a project.

I also keep a bottle of Bio-Cide around so that I can put a little in each tank full of fuel to kill the algae.

You have to have a grease gun and tubes of grease.

Normally, oil and hydraulic fluid is only needed when it is time to change them.
