I have a BX 23 TLB with a 48" Sitrex finish mower. I cannot get everything into my shed for the winter, so have to make a choice. My plan is to leave the loader outside on a blue stone patio, but covered. Anything I should do to it first? Is there much risk to doing this? Thanks as always -...

Bought a used (270 hours) BX23 and just put a Sitrex rear 48" finish mower on it. I was mowing a field yesterday and intermittently, the tractor would start to run very rough and feel like it was going to stall. I'd dis-engage the PTO, drop the throttle to idle (which was very rough) and wait...

Just bought a use Kubota BX23 without a mower. Used MMMs are hard to find, so I've decided on a rear mount. A local guy is selling the following: Sitrex SM120 - 3 years old very good shape - $700 (retail is $1800) Woods RM42 - much older; runs well - $200 Both are 48" and I think would fit the...

I just found a 2005 BX23 with 265 hours for $10,000. The guy didn't give it much love, basically just greasing things, changing the oil, and filter and recently installing a new air filter. It was stored outside and he'd never had the backhoe off, so it took me about three hours to remove it and...

I was ready to pull the trigger on a new BX25 last week, but at the last minute found a used BX23 with 270 hours for $10,000. However, I conducted a thorough search for the best Bx25 deal. If you are in the market (Western MA), I'm happy to share the results of my research. Just send a PM...

Just bought a 2005 BX23 with 267 hours that was not treated lovingly. I wanted to take the BH off (evidently for the first time) and followed all of the instructions in the manual. When I got to step 5 "Slowly raise the boom and hold at full height (approx. 5 second) to disengage the mount...

OK, I'm stumped and in need of help. From what I've read here, if I'm willing to pay cash a new BX25 can be had for $16,500 (I'm in New England). Tonight I looked at a used BX25 (350 hours, 2009-no warranty) that was very clean and well maintained. Options include a thumb on the backhoe, a...

I'm looking at a 2002 BX22 with a factory loader, backhoe, and 60" MMM. 521 hours and it just had the 500 hour service. Asking price is $13,200. I'm in no hurry...my bigger concern is getting a good deal. Is this a good price? If not, what would be? Thanks, Richard

There's a Cub Cadet EX3200 for sale by me. It was $13,000 and I just got an e-mail from the guy saying "$11,000 takes it away". He says he paid $19,500 six months ago (60 hours). This seems like way too good of a deal (it has a FEL). I've seen positive reviews and wonder if this is really...
