    BX23 engine noise under load

    Hi guys, On and off during past 2 yrs I get a noise from the front lower right of the engine under certain load and rpm conditions on my BX 23. It's difficult to intentionally cause it. Happens more often driving around with a loaded bucket. Sounds like a resonating bracket or something, but I...

    BX23 MMM won't lift

    Hi all, I was using my 54" MMM on my BX23 along with a Cyclone Rake to suck up leaves. Everything was fine and then at some point the lift on the MMM stop working. The 3PT hitch is working fine. I had to manually lift up the deck and set the hgt up so I could clear obstacles. Anyone have a clue...

    Snow  snow blower vs blade (front) on BX23

    I am looking to purchase either the 60" front blade or the blower for my BX23. I currently have a 23HP Bolens 2WD tractor with a 54" blade. It works well but I spend a lot of time managing snow piles. I live in NJ so snowfall is moderate, averaging 5", but can get up to 14" per storm. I have...

    Tires  turf tires good enough for plowing on BX23?

    I will be getting the BX2763 plow and have turf tires. I'm debating about getting another set of rear rims with AG tires. Does anyone have experience with plowing on turf tires? I have chains but have concern of damaging driveway surfaces. Thanks.

    landscape rake 3PH problems on BX23

    I purchased a 6' Leinbach landscape rake with the wheel kit. I am unable to lift the rake off the ground. It seems that the lower arms are either too short or the top link is too long on the 3PH. When I install the wheels I am able to get the rake teeth off the ground when the lift arms are at...

    Snow Attachments  front snow blade or blower for BX23?

    Thinking ahead for next season I am considering either a front snow blade or front mounted blower for my BX23. I have been plowing this season with my Bolens HT23 with a 60" front blade and it seems to do satisfactory work. I have plowed 100' driveways with garage aprons with 12" snow in about...

    different gauge backlight colors on BX23?

    I have a BX23 and the temp gauge backlight is green while fuel gauge is white. Is this intentional or did someone at the assembly plant make a mistake? Thanks.

    cutting down 12" BH bucket to 8"

    cutting down 12\" BH bucket to 8\" I have a BX23 with a 12" BH bucket. I plan to trench and believe a narrower bucket than a 10" would be needed for efficiency. I plan to get another 12" bucket and have it narrowed to 8". Anybody out there agree with this (12 or 10" inadequate for trenching)...

    Posthole Digger  using post hole digger to plant shrubs

    I am thinking of buying a post hole digger for my limited cat 1 tractor to plant small trees and shrubs . Also to use to some degree as a back hoe by "drilling" multiple holes and then scooping out dirt with a shovel or the front loader. Has anyone tried this? I have clay type soil with rocks...
