Backhoe BX23 Backhoe Dolly

[BX23S-1]

Great. JUST GREAT! Just what I needed to hear. I was in the barn today telling myself "You don't need to get an 80-Series. You've got plenty of back left to dig those stumps and trench that power line. Why spend the money? It won't be a big deal when you're 75 climbing on/off the tractor to disconnect the loader. What would you use the backhoe for anyway? You'll just become EVERYONE'S new best friend". Right? Who needs a backhoe. Ugh. Someone's telling me I NEED a backhoe.

LOL...... sorry buddie, but your going to be impressed with the BX23s, its a really nice tractor. Did i mention it has a tilt steering wheel too...? Oh yesss, you`ll have friends like you`ve never known... i think i`m up to 50 additional BRAND NEW friends now that i NEVER knew i had...lol. I make`m pay, these tractors ain`t free. And for the new friends that you dont like, just tell them the same thing i do... "the dealer has a bunch of these lil BX`s, march your but back in your car an go getcha`one of your own" And NO, i dont loan out my tractor, it only comes with ME attached to it.

All seriousness Robert, go check the BX23s out, you`ll be quite impressed for a tractor in this class of sub-compact`s.

I love my BX23S. So far it has been able to do everything I have asked of it, as long as I was patient and didn't try to ask it to do it too quickly. My issue is that I keep buying things for it. Got the Bro-tek 2" wheel spacers, the BXpanded under armor and fat pads for the stabilizers. Titan Attachments clamp on pallet forks. Even built my own pressure tester. Now looking at a 3rd function valve and grapple. Next Spring will probably bring a flail mower. Every time my wife sees me looking things up on this forum or other sites, she just smiles and shakes her head. lol

My wife wanted me to buy the new 23s, she pays for half of everything that i buy for mine.
She loves the thing as much as i do. She even paid for half of the tractor when we bought it back in june.

Yup. Gotta love those implements for the BX! Don't forget the backhoe dolly, the snowblower, the Pirhana Toothbar and Bucket Expander from BXpanded.com, a Ripper Tooth and QA for the backhoe.....

After considering whether I have the time and energy to build a dolly, I just ordered a BXpanded one. Probably safer in the long run. After I get it, I will post about it and the BX23 BT600.
Thanks,
Joe

Good idea Joe. After I ordered mine, I did get an email that it wasn't specifically designed for the bt600, but would work and they just wanted to make sure that I still wanted it. Pretty good customer service in my mind. I apologize for not getting those measurements, I was on vacation the last few days.

how did re-attaching the backhoe go? I have a BX23S and the Bxpanded dolly and had a **** of a time putting it back on.

Watch a few videos on youtube. It is actually quite simple but there is a bit of fooling around the first time. I'm assuming there is no difference between the BX25D and your machine.

Actually, it is different than on the old BX25. They redesigned both it and the FEL in order to make them super easy to take off and put on. I guess their new idea design working out so well!

Yes, watch videos...it is a piece of cake to get that thing off and on. I also have the BxPanded backhoe dolly.

Ok thanks, I've watched every video there is so maybe it was just something i was doing wrong because i was in a rush. I thought maybe there was a difference between the 23S and the 25 that was throwing me off. I'll give it another try.

Thanks again!

There is a difference and it is supposed to make it easier to remove the backhoe and reinstall it. Let me know if you need any assistance.
