Anyone here installed the Summit REAR hydraulic kit on a BX23S? I've read various forums where this seems to be an issue, Summit claims it will work, but have only sent me generic installation information.
I haven't purchased this, just pondering it for some future ideas. I'm curious to see how well backhoe access and operation is still once thats all in place.

I have not installed one but it will work. Its just an open center valve that gets inserted in the pressure side circuit of the hydraulic pump and will not degrade the backhoe. Your major concern would be finding a good place to mount it

yeah, that would be the real issue; ergonomics and still being able to rotate the seat and access/operate the backhoe. Was hoping someone has done this already and has some photos with the backhoe. Found a few videos etc, but all show it without the backhoe.
