BX22/23 backhoe attachment - rugged?

I would think that 20 years from now you will see BX22's & BX23's that have still functioning backhoes. With proper care and maintenance they should have a very long life span. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

We have over 50 out and no problems with welds or hydraulics yet. A few questions about drop rate but nothing that was severe enough to work on. They do have boom locks but some choose not to use them.

I guess I'm the one who got side tracked and didn't understand the question asked. I am sorry for my mistake.

Kubota designed the BX22 after so many requests for the BX2200 (I think that's the model #) and a BH. So, you know they would design something strong enough to work safely within the range of the machine. It'll hold up for what it's designed to do.

( I agree with.. theboman. I was going to get a BX23 but with further research found out that it is exactly as theboman stated. $15,000 for a glorified lawn tractor? I don't think so. Therefore, I went and bought a KIOTI CK20 TLB. "The pack is coming". /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif )

We wish you luck with your Kioti. They have a forum for those too, you know! (hint hint) /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I want to thank eveyone for the feedback on this. It looks like I got quite a discussion going here. We're all passionate about our tractors aren't we!

Many thanks!
