BX 23S Length

[irpete]

I have a new BX23S TLB ordered and will be delivered in about a month. I plan on storing it in a locked container on my wooded lot while our home is being built. I'm trying to determine the full length including the FEL and BH. Anyone know the length? All I can find online is the length of the tractor itself but nothing with the FEL and BH attached.

My BX25 is about 15 feet with the BH curled up (16 feet at most). That may be a bit different than the BX23s, but should fit in a 20 foot shipping container.

shows most people carry the BX24,25 series in a 16 foot trailer. The quick attach FEL of the BX23S may add a few inches to overall length.

Perfect. Thanks for the quick response. The 20 foot container is what I was looking at renting.

I had one in a 7x14 enclosed trailer. It can get a foot shorter by taking the front bucket off and storing it under the FEL arms.
