My friend who suggested to change the pattern to CAT was an equipment operator for many years and claims that the CAT pattern is just a little more intuitive. Of course he recognizes that whatever you are used to is the way to go. Being new, I want to learn the easy or more efficient pattern...

Thanks, I've had this TC for over 25 yrs, it is only 10 hp but does about 50 mph and surprisingly fun to ride. Unlicensed as I just go around the block when I need some two wheel "therapy".

Yes indeed! You are in Greensville? I grew up in Stoney Creek and learned my trade at Boonstra's :)

"CAT" I believe is usually prefered on larger excavators where as TLB (Tractor/loader/backhoe) controls are sometimes refered to "John Deere" control setup. My Kubota BX23s comes from the factory with "JD" setup. I understand that most larger equipment comes with a valve switch so you can...

I have a new to me BX 23s and have had a few hours on the BH ....a friend convinced me to change the controls to "CAT" controls , so I did. I am not sure it was a good idea as I was getting used to the factory setup.....question, is there any disadvantage to the CAT setup? I mean once i get used...

Yes, I wiggled and held the levers for all the hydro on all ....the BH and the FEL , the 3PH .... the other BH connectors came apart very easy with a little push/lift the knurled sleeve and they pop off. the blue connector will not .....

....I shut the tractor off, wiggle all the levers, joysticks etc to relieve pressure and am able to remove the other connectors but NOT the "Blue" connector on the BH......am I forgetting something?

IC, Yes mine in different due to the Backhoe I think Tektite designs so that you can fit either in a standard garage opening

OK, no problem.... Mine is a 2018 Bx 23s model with Industrial tires. The height of the complete machine as she sits is 82 and 1/2 inches The total height of my standard garage door opening is .......83 inches There is a weatherstrip that hangs down and although I have never witnessed it, I...

I have a TEKTITE cab on my BX23S and will go in my garage with a few inches to spare....I will measure and check model number tomorow

I am sure the cab is correct for this BX23s, I have the installation manual and it looks as though the cab is installed as per instructions. What I did was pull the control cover and remove the sticks (easy to do) and put both in a vise and removed the bend closest to the valve. REPLACED AND...

I have a new to me BX23s with a Tektite cab and just started to check out the BH. I find the seat difficult to flip around to use the BH as it tends to hang up on one of the cab’s braces. The real issue I’m having is once flipped, the seat is too far away from the controls even when adjusted as...

Thanks :)
