Wow, time flys when your having fun!! I stopped by for those that are still lingering when this thread was made and for others. I just wanted to post a belated update for everyone. I got the tractor in November and by end of December, you can see the tree I took out in the above pic and here...

You will have to excuse some of the purists on here. Oil is oil, for the most part. Worst things that could happen is A) too thick to pump, or, B) So thin, you use it too fast. If B), go for it. Just keep your eye on the reservoir. You would be surprised how fast gas and oil break down when...

Beat it sensless scraping dirt with the box blade (rakes in the ground) and scraping dirt with the bucket! Then, put it away wet.

Thanks guys/gals. I was looking for BX23s engine specs, didnt think to look for engine model and then look for the model specs. Now that I looked for engine model specs, I found it all. Sometimes the ol brain is stuck in work mode at work, lol. Well, looks like I have been working her...

Backhoe is def a deal breaker, but, let me check out what the LX has to offer, thanks.

Preferably looking for a chart but if someone knows the torque rise, could you share? I sure as heck cant find any info on it. Thanks

I consider my BX23s a 80%'er. It does most of what I want it to do 80% of the time but for the other 20% I have to literally beat it to hell and back. I always wanted the B2601 instead and was thinking of getting that. Anyone have any idea if a B2601 will get me to the 90-95% promise land...

News update: I got the $350 Titan pallet fork frame off ebay. I threw that on my tractor, along with the 2 class 3 forks and could only lift 7 medium size EMPTY pallets no higher than 3ft off the ground. What a BX POS (sorry, was just expecting a little more from the BX)!! . Sadly, I got...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! 😭

Hey all...... I only have a FEL and backhoe on her. The belt is actually SO tight on it, I was actually thinking about loosening it. Its not doing anything but recharging the batter after using starter voltage, so, I dont think it being so tight is good for the bearings when it is spinning...

Who has heard a mower deck spindle bearing going bad? Keep that in mind..... Started my tractor and let it idle for about 3-5 minutes. All of a sudden it went from normal running sound to an added bad spindle bearing sound. I wasnt sure if I was hearing things because it blended in so well...

Hi, thanks for the link. Yes I saw them and thought about them but I def need adjustability. They were high up on my list but sadly scratched those out. I think I am gonna end up selling the ones I just got, order a set of clamp on's and weld a lip on them to hang on the frame. Sheeesh, I...

Okay, so far, I have found out the forks have mounting hooks 20" apart which apparently makes them a class III fork with a 5" wide blade by 1 3/4 thick area that slide into the pallet at the thick end. I have seen weight range from 180 pair (titans, which I think are class 2) to 300lb a pair...

Well, I think I bit off more than I can chew on the first round. I grabbed the forks from afar, but, they are heavy as @**^&! . I can throw around 80lb bags of concrete, but these I could only get 3" off the ground. An L shaped object makes it that much harder, but, were talking at LEAST...

Thanks for all the feedback ladies n gents. I am working on a QA set right now. Found a set of fork an hour away for $100 and a frame for $150. I could probably weld my own, but, at $150, that would be hard to beat. Kind of depends. I had a $99 set off ebay that did what I needed it to do...

I am still trying to get all the figures together, but, I dont see any "lifting" benefits between clamp on bucket forks and dedicated QA forks. If the BX23s has 1,000lb (rounded) lift at the pin (no bucket), then you add a 120lb bucket on a QA, you get 500lb lift at 48" according to TTwTim. A...

worst case scenario you shove the bucket into the ground, hold the lever there for a minutes. full pressure bypass would shurley warm it up then. No?

High flow? I am gonna have to have my tractor sit in with you for some counseling on high flow. Never the less, POCV it will have to be when I finally settle on a life long tractor.

My point about BS was that to have the bucket hold, the circuit should have had seals. Since it is a slip fit, it is obvious it was designed that way. Still, would have been nice to have it engineered to use seals so it would hold.

Well Well, if thats the case, then yea, totally makes sense now. I was gonna say thats a bunch of BS that they didnt have seals, but, I dont think they engineered it to be a holding circuit to begin with, so............ Gonna have to look into that POCV. Thanks.
