    Just bought a repo BX23S on auction (title edited)

    I haven't seen any orange paint on any of the zerks, and they look like they've been greased. I'm still planning on greasing everything. Next is the foreward/backward pedal pivot. Thanks for the technique suggestions...I like it! The unit had a IronPlanet's "IronClad" guarantee, which I'm not...

    Just bought a repo BX23S on auction (title edited)

    I will call the dealership this week to see if I can get a pre-delivery inspection list. I made a point of introducing myself to the service manager prior to and during pick-up. In fact, he was the one who drove the tractor onto the trailer. So even though that dealership is out of my area, I'm...

    Oh! Interesting (and not good). I will definitely check this.

    funny you should say that...a friend of mine who owns a Kubota, told me this morning to check the front axle. I hadn't seen that mentioned in the Operator's Manual as something to check. I'll have to go back and look. Either way, it certainly seems like something to check. Thanks!

    I thought that too but then decided that it was more likely the 3 point hitch they were referring to. I don't have the terminology down yet, but I would call the backhoe hydraulics a "circuit" rather than a "remote" because it's not controlled by anything.

    heh heh, I'm actually reading the Operator Manual! I downloaded a PDF and printed out the important parts. Then I found the printed copy in the "glove box" this morning. Checked the oil, transmission fluid, coolant levels this morning. Cleaned the radiator screen. Checked the tire pressure...

    I think I figured it out ... the "mid-mount remotes" are the loader controls, and the "rear-mount remote" is the three point hitch. But this was good ... I learned about "dual rear remote levers" Thanks for your help!

    BTW, the There's another post on the forum that has the installation instructions LINK How did you determine that the hard lines don't work with the BX23S?

    Fascinating! My unit was a repo, and I established good relations with the service manager at the dealership that was holding it on behalf of Kubota Financial. I'm going to call him next week and try to get a definitive answer about the description in the listing as it pertains to mid and rear...

    I just realized that I have the pictures from the auction site ... In the manual, there's a place for two additional control levers. What do those levers do? I don't have them on my tractor. empty slot where those levers would be

    Thanks! I don't have the third-function buttons on the loader joystick. I had done some research before I bid. I wasn't really expecting that I had these remotes, so I'm not particularly perturbed by this apparent error. I won't be able to look at the actual controls for a couple of days, but...

    First time tractor owner and first-time poster! I just bought my first tractor on auction last week and transported it last night. 2020 BX23S with 17 hours on the meter. First time driving it was backing down the ramps off a dump trailer in the dark. Everything went smoothly without any...
