Yes, they look the same, but with the BX22/BX23, they are removable--I guess I was making it seem to be a greater difference than there is--my appologies. Upon further thought, I can see why this arrangement might constrict things if there is a need for the lift arms to be adjusted to "different heights". How you attache the lift arms to the center part of the 3pt would make a difference there. You'll need more "play" than if things are straight and level. The picture that was posted by you in another reply shows an arrangement that provides a little more movement...
