Thanks all for the welcome. Couple of pics from today... first snow outing with this machine...blade was off my BX23. Needs some more top link adjustment I believe.

first time out with the rear blade on this new tractor. I think I have some more top link adjustment to make. Snapped a few pics as well.

was wondering about that for myself. Had a set of "Bro-Tech" skid plates on my BX23. They were awesome.

YW. Just brace yourself on the cost. I found one very slightly used when I bought my BX. I think it was around $1700 from the dealer.

I did. It was delivered with 19 lbs in the rears and 32 in fronts

I was curious about the air pressures as well. I just took delivery last week and set the rears at 17lbs (with backhoe) and fronts at 32. Both still look over inflated. The suggestion I believe is to measure the width of the tread vs the width of your contact patch and go from there.

congrats. Sound like you got a VERY good deal. Seafoam for winter? hmm, that's new to me. Always used power service (911).

If you're referring to the mid mount mower (MMM) I believe it would be RCK60B-23BX. There is also a 54" RCK54B-23BX. Had the 60 inch (RCK60B-22BX) on my BX23. It did a fine job. It's a pretty heavy deck, but fairly easy to add/remove once you get the hang of it.

Congrats, and you are correct. They really are a beast. Had a BX23 (TLB) for 12 years and it sure was a reliable work horse. Used it for a part time landscaping business at the time. Paid for itself 2x over the first year in use. Enjoy.

I just received a set from them in the 42" variety, a bit lighter duty. The forks themselves are quite heavy duty. The quick attach bracket looks heavy enough, but look like they were welded by a 10 year old child (perhaps, they were). ;) The set that I got has the 2" receiver as well. Great...

If you have enough room, leave the draw bar and clevis on the machine with the hoe. Use that to drag logs. Alternatively, you could hook to the backhoe steps but, I wouldn't recommend chaining logs to the bucket for skidding purposes.

I've used the rear blade/bucket method for years with my old BX23. It works good enough. The rear blade that I have is from an old 8N (6 ft blade). I've always found it easier to push that blade in reverse for light snow of any depth. It won't damage your driveway at all. The pushing in reverse...

Yep, I'm gonna try.

Les and Mike, Thank you both for the reply. I figured that's what happened. They gave me the setup for a cabbed or "L" version. I should have looked more closely when they were putting the machine together at the dealer. I did find the correct part numbers for the longer (and bent) controls. I...

That's the good side of the garage. The other side is filled with lots of other toys...I may need to have a liquidation sale soon! Interesting, My BX23 fit on the other side with the toys no problem...this one is much bigger when it was delivered.:D

awesome. I know the feeling of waiting, was 3 weeks for me too.

Ha, thanks. No, I'm on the eastern side of PA in Lehigh Valley.

not sure if there is a big difference in your machine vs my old BX23, but I used a battery tender jr as well. I simply connected to the battery and ran the pigtail between the radiator screen and the dash. The pigtail connector was plenty long enough to hang down from that gap between the two...

Well, after some more searching, I think I found the answer. There are two different sets of sticks (like I thought). Short controls- and long controls

Not sure, but I think they are pressed on. Hoping I can get a response from someone that has the same machine as I do. I believe there is a difference in the controls sticks on Cab vs ROPS units or perhaps between B and L tractors (even though they share the same backhoe.
