I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting. It sounds like you're contemplating a system that could work with the backhoe on and off?

It's worth asking them, so I just posted on their vendor thread here ... https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/summit-hydraulics.66251/post-733574

Have you guys considered making a version of your rear-remote kit designed specifically for the BX23S? This would be only for backhoe-off operation ... the rear-remote plumbing would connect to the lines that the backhoe normally connects to, instead of having to get under the tractor and plumb...

As soon as I decided to acquire my first 3PH implement, I immediately bought: Messick's telescopic stabilizer kit immediately https://www.messicks.com/parts/k2561-38300fr Kubota 3PH kit https://www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/KubotaParts/3-Point-Hitch-Kit-for-Kubota-BX-TLB-s/BX2506/ I...

I'll tell you one thing ... that kid knows how to back with a trailer! Not really a kid actually ... almost 40.

These are good recommendations for reading the manual, checking tire pressure, lug nuts. I would add check all the fluid levels (engine oil, coolant and hydraulic fluid) and probably wouldn't hurt to grease all the zircs. Short story ... as I mentioned before, I bought mine at auction. I was...

Cool It's been really bugging me how an out-of-fuel problem morphed into an electrical no-crank/crank-no-start/ECU-error-code situation. I was thinking about it on the drive up to my cabin last night and all of a sudden it dawned on me "maybe he wasn't out of fuel, and the reason the tractor...

Just curious ... how did you conclude that you had run out of fuel in the first place?

I think this is good "let's get back to basics" advice. It seems odd that running out of fuel ends up turning into an electrical problem.

oooh, that's good advice! Is non SSQA even an option? Mine came with it so it never occurred to me.

Thank you! I'm kind of in a grumpy mood today and I was wondering if I was being too harsh, but articles like that piss me off so much.:mad::devilish:

I don't really have any advice, but I just want to say I love my BX23S. I bought it on auction with 17 hours on the clock so there aren't any negotiation details to share. I very quickly bought the BXpanded belly plate, and their backhoe items: mechanical thumb, ripper blade, and quick change. I...

What a bizarre article. I read and reread it. Most of it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the gas piping. For example, the author talks about pilot lights and gas control valves, neither of which have to do with the gas line. And then there's this: Has anybody ever seen a black pipe...

Damnit I keep forgetting things you've already taught me. Internal leakage cannot explain leak-down in the retract direction because the amount of fluid displaced on the base end of the cylinder is greater than the volume that can be accepted on the rod side. Arg! You explained this to me a...

Thanks Dan for both of your responses. My BX23S backhoe exhibits leak-downs and one other characteristic I find mildly irritating. The backhoe works fine and I'm not even sure any of the behaviors are out-of-spec, but I find myself curious about the causes and how to determine whether the cause...

Why do you say "if it's extending"? Wouldn't the test still work? Or is the point that if it's leaking down in extension, but also not extending under pressure, then it's clearly an internal leak and not the valve so there's no point in testing?

This is something I've wondered about ... is it possible for a the piston seal to be leaking enough to allow (in this case) the dipper stick to sag, but not leaking so much that the pump can overcome the leakage to pressurize and retract the cylinder? Or is it pretty much an all-or-nothing deal?

So in geologic terms, not really there for all that long :unsure:

Dropped the backhoe and put the rake on today so I could start cleaning up the new garden area. Just waiting on a check to come in and I'm buying a Pat's hitch. Stock 3pt hitches have got to be one of the most exasperating designs ever. I thought I might be being a bit impulsive when I...

Well, we tried. He might have to change his user name to something like "was going to learn tractors"
