Newbe BX23

572Chevy · May 2, 2005

I just put down my deposit on a new BX23 this weekend. I could not have done it with out all of you. I have spent hours reading all that you all have written on this site. I made my decission based on all your knowledge. I thank all of you for that. My wife is very understanding but I admit she has been looking at me kind of funny lately with all the time I put in reading this forum. She will be happy when she gets some seat time in the new BX23. Tractor to arrive mid May I can hardly wait to bust up some dirt.

I have a question, where do I find a tooth bar for the FEL?

Any help would be greatly appreciated /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Congratulation on your new purchase. The toothbar on my BX23 was installed by the dealer I purchased from. Also they welded 3 hooks on the FEL. The toothbar and hooks is a must.

Congratulations on your purchase. After the first few days you will wonder how you ever got along without it. This forum helped me find a good dealer when I was shopping. It continues to be a great source of information. There is no substitute for the first-hand experiences of the members. My wife has given me the funny look too - must be a wife thing. Please post some pictures once you get your machine. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You are going to need a new philosophy. When I got mine, I was afraid to scratch it. But now, I judge the tractor by how fast and how much paint I can get of the FEL and BH!

You'll love it, a great orange machine.
One thing you might want to do is ask for a kubota clock.
I saw this clock in the saleman's office, one of them battary operated kind. Told him if I bought the orange BX23 that I wanted a clock. He said OK.
Took about 8 months, but when I went in to get my 50 hour stuff he had the clock and not the little battery operated one but a 18" X 24" electric clock.
Goes to show some work with ya some agan ya.
GOOD LUCK and HAPPY SEAT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, man-oh-man are you in for trouble. I started out that way, now I have a list the never gets shorter. Every time I start the next list item, I see two or three more list additions. Oh well, at least every time I use the tractor my property value increases. That's alot better than my last hobby.

Markham on the toothbar, mine is great!

As for seat time for the wife............nix that real quick. If she finds out how much FUN it is, you will not be able to get by with WORK anymore.

or worse yet she could take over the tractor, then you are stuck on the patio watching her "work".

Congratulations, very nice tractor, if I might say so myself. Seeing as I am waiting on mine also. I wish you many years of fun and happiness on the BX23.

I was wondering, what kind of price did you get?

Any way my BX 23 should be at the dealers this weekend or next, still plenty of time before I get home, although its getting closer. I have been told to expect an assignments in Louisiana, in about two weeks. I can’t wait. I will be working around Baton Rouge, LA which is about four hours from my place, but still a lot closer than 24hrs, here in Chicago, where I am working now.

Troy.
