Difference between BX 22 and Bx 23??

[BPD239]

I hadn't heard that about the different engines, but the dealer had said the engine in the tractor I bought was designed to meet the emission standards, so I would guess it was new??? I will be checking the price and location of the block heater when I get a chance, it seems like it is going to be a must have on this tractor.

You are sooo right about the backhoe. I did a lot more with my BX2200 than I ever thought. Not only on my own property, but when you have a tractor like this friends always have a project in mind too!! If I had the BX23 when I built my garage I could have saved myself some $, when the foundation and footings were put in.

I also did a couple asphalt removal projects with BX2200. It took a while with the BX2200. At a friend's house the blacktop was old and previous owners had some good ol' oil leakers in the driveway. That made it easy to brake the blacktop by flipping it over with the bucket. My driveway has never had oil on it for any long period of time. I ended up having to cut it into 2ft strips to pull it out. I needed to remove a 10ftx40ft section and it took a long time to cut it. With a backhoe it would have been a lot easier.

I'm just waiting for the frost to leave the ground then the projects will begin.

Any update on the Northeast luncheon!

I figure that it will be another 8 weeks before the ground here in Northeastern CT will be firm enough to move the tractor over it. After the frost leaves the ground, then comes the mud season, followed by the May flies and then the mosquitoes. Isn't the change of seasons wonderful????

We meet the second and fourth Thursday of the month at noon at Gracie's on RT. 20 East, in Sturbridge. It is just West of the Sturbridge Walmart. If you want to follow me there, just send me a PM a couple of days before. The meeting is open to anyone that cares to come...
