my understanding is that its more for strength and visibility.

Ok, So the next BIG question that begs is what is the price point in comparison to the BX23?
good question. If the price is like $1,000 more, unless there is something really cool or huge improvment, I just as soon save the $1K and buy a BX23.
Then again, the cuved BH is really nothing special in my eyes nor is the improved FEL lifting. From using my BX22, it can left more then it should anyways. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I am not saying these improvements are not needed, but rather if the improvments are worth the extra $$$$$.

I think you are right. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Visibility I think outweights the strength part. Then I start using my work skills, the forces the BH sees should be less with a curved boom (delta x and delta y). Now what it really saves since the length is so small and the Lbs it sees, is so small (per say), I do not know. The BH is built overkill on my "old school" BX22. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So who has all the pictures? The legroom pic has pic of the new BX up in the corner - looks like a new design hood, the ROPS has a curve at the top instead of being flat, and it looks like the frame sticks out in front of the hood some - for attaching weights maybe? It is sort of hard to tell from the pic but it appears that the new BX might have a little more ground clearance too.
