    BX 23S controls ....CAT!

    My friend who suggested to change the pattern to CAT was an equipment operator for many years and claims that the CAT pattern is just a little more intuitive. Of course he recognizes that whatever you are used to is the way to go. Being new, I want to learn the easy or more efficient pattern...

    BX 23S controls ....CAT!

    Thanks, I've had this TC for over 25 yrs, it is only 10 hp but does about 50 mph and surprisingly fun to ride. Unlicensed as I just go around the block when I need some two wheel "therapy".

    BX 23S controls ....CAT!

    "CAT" I believe is usually prefered on larger excavators where as TLB (Tractor/loader/backhoe) controls are sometimes refered to "John Deere" control setup. My Kubota BX23s comes from the factory with "JD" setup. I understand that most larger equipment comes with a valve switch so you can...

    Tektite Cab problem

    I am sure the cab is correct for this BX23s, I have the installation manual and it looks as though the cab is installed as per instructions. What I did was pull the control cover and remove the sticks (easy to do) and put both in a vise and removed the bend closest to the valve. REPLACED AND...

    Tektite Cab problem

    I have a new to me BX23s with a Tektite cab and just started to check out the BH. I find the seat difficult to flip around to use the BH as it tends to hang up on one of the cab’s braces. The real issue I’m having is once flipped, the seat is too far away from the controls even when adjusted as...

    BX23s manual....a REAL manual as in bound printed and not photocopied

    Yes, I agree,printing out what you need is a bonus but as you say, for some reason the wiring copy is unusable. So I am not sure if the " dealer provided download pdf file is any better than the "free" PDF download. Can't imagine paying 130 dollars and having trouble reading the print

    Ok, here we go…..I want a Factory workshop manual for a BX 23s. I have downloaded the “FREE” WSM from the web and find not only is a PDF file manual kind of difficult to Thumb through but the quality of the printing , especially the wiring diagrams is almost usless. My dealer claims that Kubota...

    Fuel filers

    Agree. Selection on Amazon.ca is not quite as good as .com, but I appreciate the service and have been very lucky with delivery of goods... here in Hali the supply of anything other than staples like bread and milk is abysmal
