Welcome to the forum.

If you bought your BX23S from a dealer now is the time to request a copy of all manuals on a USB stick.
.
In addition to the WSM and operators' manual there will be installation manuals for perhaps the FEL or hoe which, in the decades to come, will be needed.

welcome to the club!

I would highly suggest an "under armor" for your machine to keep the ol hst fan in good working order, two places come to mind for the under armor - ask if you want those sites.

And if you plan on doing a lot of digging - a toothbar will come in handy too.

And lastly - dont let anyone talk down about your new "toy" ....... I went to a new neighbor's house last weekend and he said, "nice toy" ...... then I moved with ease a 400 lb 12' 30 in diameter piece of tree trunk like it was nothing........ his next response was "I never thought it could do something like that!"

That machine will move a mountain..... one small bite at a time!!!!

PS - the ROPS is like that because??? Low garage door perhaps?

Thank you for the welcome.
We did buy this from a dealer. I didn't know the dealer would have the manuals on USB stick.
I will see if I can get one.

You bring the USB stick and ask the dealer to load the manuals unto it

I have seen those "under armor" and can see why it would be needed. I am currently waiting on my backhoe dolly from BXpander.

I moved a 8 x 12 wood shed that was half full of odds and ends with ease last week, I was impressed as well as the neighbor's that was watching me. Also have dug out some concreted in post and holes for tree planting.

I my case, being originally a Nebraska farm country boy operating full size farm tractors, motorgraders, and some hoe experience, I can understand the limitations of this little machine, but then again this little machine can do more than most people think. It may take a bit more time, a little more finesse, and thought.

You are correct, the ROPS is set like that for garage door clearance. I just flip up the canopy install 2 pins then stand up and pin the ROPS bar.

That is good to know, I got to go to the dealer this week and finish getting my fluids and filters.

Thanks Dave.

US dealers are far less accommodating to its buyers than canadian dealers.
Most will make you buy a copy of tha manuals.

Go to Kubotabooks.com and donate a couple bucks to him and download both the operators and WSM (aka service manual) from there, they are under tractors owners manuals.

I'll second that. On CD the WSM is $110, $32 ea. for loader and BH. $22 ea. for operators manuals. Prices are different for each model I believe.
