Talk me out of A BX23s

Pretty sure I will go before my BX does.

I will say I'm amazed how simple it is to remove and install the FEl and BH. I remember the anxiety of trying to get my MF 1428V FEL off, I did it once and just left it on after a while. I can remove and install the FEl on the BX23s without leaving the seat for the most part. The back hoe took a few minutes to get off, but once I figured it out it took 2 minutes to reattach and get off again. So far I'm impressed.

I suggest going to both green and orange dealers and actually install/remove the belly mower and other other QA front/rear to see which you like. I'm still in love my BX25D. I put a 'Tach n Go' QA on the FEL which has been great! Can swap a bucket for forks in a minute. The BH comes off relatively easy. I use a 'Bxpanded' dolly for its storage.

The easier and faster you can reconfigure your tractor, the more you will use your implements.

Did you have to change anything on your bucket when you added the quick tach? I'm thinking about getting one for my bx2670 and wasn't sure if I would have to do anything special.

Nope. It was a simple install and I am very happy with it after several years. Very well built.

When you do start swapping implements, carry a spare screw driver to help with leverage to flip the two latches and save a little punishment on your thumb and fingers.

"flip the two latches" ??
Nah......I just push the diverter button in, and my 3rd function does the latching hydraulically for me.
I don't need to leave the seat!

I know, I know,.....I am being a smart axx!
It is a really sweet system though.

I am an old guy.
Crawling up, and down from the tractor, just ain't so easy any more!

Awesome, thanks for the fast reply. Looks like I'll be doing this over the winter.

I cant specifically speak tobthe 1 series deere but the 3 series has poor bucket visibility. I just bought an l3901 to replace an older kubota, but my dad and sister both have bx's and that little machine will amaze you with what it is capable of

I just sold my l3301 with the quick attach loader and backhoe.
I was hardly using the bigger tractor and the little bx2670 is a work horse. If I end up missing the backhoe I'll probably trade my bx for the 23 with a loader and backhoe. It takes a little longer with the smaller tractor but man the bx is a lot more tractor than people think. I have a piranha tooth bar on the bx and it changes everything.

Good stuff... not burst your bubble but the backhoe transforms the BX to a digging machine. I too have the PTB on my bucket and it is great!

I've got the Markham and most satisfied with hundreds of hours of toothbar use.
