tipped it over on its side the other day, for about 30 minutes or so. got it back up, let is sit for a day. got it started, seems to be fine. filled radiator and hydraulic fluid as they were both low. the tractor will not drive forward or backwards, and neither the loader nor backhoe will move at all. any advice?
BX23S will not drive or move loader/backhoe

You let it sit for a day. Did you pull the glow plugs or injectors prior to starting?
Sounds like pump could have lost prime, but hard to know for sure with the tip over what else might have happened
Given the tractor was on its side, I’m reluctant to offer advice that could be more deleterious to the machine given the circumstances.
How is the level on the motor oil dipstick?
How “low” was the hydraulic fluid when you filled it? Antifreeze?
Did you see spillage of hydraulic fluid or antifreeze on the ground when it turned?

Howdy, thanks for the reply.
since it started back up next day without issues, I did not bother to check the glow plugs or injectors.
did not think those would affect the hydraulics. but I am just a end user, not a mechanic
motor oil was perfect. hydraulic fluid at the transmission was low about 2 quarts, but I did not see any spillage. could have been like t hat, just bought it in Sept. Antifreeze did leak out, added about 1 quart to that.
Is there a way for me to prime the pump? that's what I thought it might be, but again, no mechanic here.

this summer I change the hyd oil (UDT). All I did was drain it,install new filter, cleaned the 'screen', add a lot of oil,start the engine and it's been fine since then....
I don't know if you could get an 'air lock'.
Kinda curious...you had to add 2 qts of oil...did you see that it came out ?
will follow this as a 'need to know'.....
