</font><font color="blue" class="small">( If the BX23 is like the BX22, with the BH mounted, you can not fully lower the mower dect. The 3PH arms in the back hit part of the frame of the BH and only allow partial lowering of the 3PH, which is used to lift/lower the mower deck.
As for mowing with the loader attached, you can do it, but I found that the ucket sticking out in the front seriously limited the ability to get in tight when mowing around things like trees and bulidings. You can get close if you are slow and careful, but for the few minutes that it takes to remove the BH and FEL, it was not worth the hassle.
On the contrary, with the deck on, and fully raised, you can attach the FEL and BH and use them. The big hassle is driving around the dirt and hitting the deck with the dirt.

Agree 100% with all points. As easy as the FEL and BH are to remove, why not? Part of the reason I ended up with a BX23 was that it's like the Swiss Army Knife[tm] of CT's.
