I can think of a few advantages converting the old mixer to hydraulic: 1) portability, no need for generator if you are far away from electricity. 2) dumpability, and again portability, the ability to easily carry the load and use the stick to dump it anywhere you want. ie, there's no moving...

So what you are saying is, I should take my old Harbor Freight mixer out back with the broken electric motor, and retro-fit it to a quick attach hydraulic run motor off the front of my new Kubota? Genius!! Thank you. :geek: Now if I could just ever find the time to do this.

wow, and I thought my 3 month wait for my 23S with snowblower and sweeper was a long wait.

Update my status?

I emailed my dealer with what I found, and a pic, and mentioned there are many of us here talking about it. He simply said "grease it". Then he went on about something I think about a design change and that they meant to paint that zerk in question, for some reason I don't know, didn't make...

Woah! If you turned all those on I might think I'm at a RUSH concert!! :geek:

2 hours on my BX 23 S. I hit my garage yesterday. Apparently the tractor does not end with the top edge of the bucket. It ends with the front leading edge. :ROFLMAO: <banghead>

you're absolutely right. I'm a newB. They painted the zerk and the whole pin. My dealership tried to squeeze grease in there and it didn't go. It's plain to see now. I made the same mention in my new owner thread.

Upon further inspection, I'm part of the bad batch. Wiped the grease zerk, mines painted too. Not only is the zerk painted, the WHOLE PIN IS PAINTED. How did Arlo Guthrie put it? This is a conspiracy! The factory messed up this batch of BT603's for sure. Take a look at this pick of my 3...

Wow, 2 separate painted over ungreased zerks. Whomever is installing these hoe's at the factory fell asleep last month. I hope mine isn't in that wheelhouse too. Looks to be my dealership got it, time will tell. off to find a quality grease gun and a lock 'n lube coupler....

OP: based on your pic, I'd say they definitely missed greasing that painted over zerk. Here is a pic of my hoe, unused, just brought home from dealership. The got all the zerks for sure.

Happy with my Weber Genesis. A step down from your Summit I do believe, $800. I researched the Napoleans, read a bunch of bad reviews, decided to stick with the Weber as my last Genensis Silver B was 15 years old before I retired it.

Yea, I'll be getting that toothbar. All I can think of is whacking my shin on it for some reason though. Ping: That is quite impressive, especially with the wiper and the rubber window surrounds. I've been building my own junk for 30+ years now, (not sure I'm as talented to build something...

Awesome, thank you Tornado, that was not on my radar, looks like an essential for sure. I've looked at the Bxpanded stuff already but didn't see this. This is going to get even more expensive......lol

:oops::oops: Subscribed. Brand new BX 23 S owner here, 1.2 hours of FEL time, haven't even taken the travel pins out of the hoe yet. My dealer did in fact grease all the zerks from what I can see just by looking at it last night. I'm going to take a closer look at the OP's pics and see exactly...

Hi everyone, PaulR here. In my late 40's I've finally accumulated enough $$ and desire to get my first Tractor. After months of waiting I finally took delivery yesterday....and quickly realized I have a LOT to learn about operating these things. I'm already looking at quite a few mods and...

Google Lock n Lube, company out of NH. Friend of mine works for them.

I'm buying a BX 23S, one big dealer came in a couple thousand over the online price calculator, one small dealer came in a thousand under the online price calculator. I've been waiting 3 months for it to come in, hopefully tomorrow is the day. HTH Paul

Been waiting over 2 months now for my tractor to come in. I've gone from anxious, to angry, now I'm just depressed. :(:(

Newbie. First post. My whole reason for coming here was to see if others were experiencing a long wait like I am. Going on 2 months now. :(:( BX 23 S with a sweeper and a snowblower.
