BX23s owner From Queensland, Australia, Congratulations on a true Goldilocks video, not too hot not too cold, lol.
I've watched a number of videos of about 30mins or more which show how to change oil, I don't have the time and they are quite painful to watch. I've also put around 200hrs on my 23s which spends most of its life digging out huge hardwood gumtree stumps in hard soil (the dealer couldn't believe it when I showed him photos) and mowing my 5 acres with the 54" mid PTO mower. These Sub Compacts are not common In Australia (my dealer has only sold one) and attachments are hard to come by, for example if I wanted a ripper tine to attach to my backhoe (which I do) I would have to go to an engineer and have it specifically made). I'm a 65yo with a bad back and it was worth buying just to dig the 70 odd holes (effortlessly with the backhoe) for planting small shrubs my wife wanted to plant in our dry hard ground. I have a 4 in 1 bucket (which I use as a kind of grapple for picking up stumps and logs which works well however it is heavier and not as deep as a standard bucket. If I was buying again I would opt for the standard bucket and grapple but the skid steer attach system does not appear to be available here so my dealer says.
All up cost me $33,000 in 2018, everything is expensive here as we live at the end of the earth, lol.
Cheers and thanks again for an informative and to the point video.
Thanks for watching! It sounds like you put your BX to good use!
I’m sorry about your countries complete authoritarian takeover…..for what it’s worth as an American I can see Australia as an example of why we can never forfeit our 2nd amendment rights…..(gun rights) anyway we have been fighting the same problems just not as bad as you guys….our elected president was kicked out of power by the Chinese government and we may be on the edge of revolutionary war….against the leaders who are selling us out…..unfortunately theirs useful idiots everywhere so I guess we will see…
@@oddlyrightoddlyright2475 agree with you, Australia is leading the way ( in a bad way) for doing whatever the Gov't tells us. We even had a whole apartment block locked down and nobody allowed to leave for two weeks with police guarding the entrance. Certain politicians and elements of the police are loving the power trip.
@@jonathanmagic5633 I wish you guys the best of luck but people need to remember theirs power in numbers and any cop willing to take away a law abiding citizens right to freedom deserves what’s coming to him….
Live free or die….god bless
Great video, thanks. I have the same tractor and agree it’s a great all around tractor. My two favorite add ons have been a front mounted snowblower and a grapple for cleaning up brush and moving reasonable sized logs. Keep up the good work!
I’ve been researching these for months and I landed on this one. Getting it delivered this Friday! Then I have to build something to put it in. Haha
You’re gonna love it. It’s a great little machine!
What a great video! Thanks… I’m considering this tractor and you have helped me out a lot. Much appreciated
Thanks for watching! I hope you get the tractor you want!
Nice video. my 23s has 192 hours so this info helps alot. I also downloaded the app while I watched. Have a great week.
Thanks for watching!
Make sure if you didn't already check your front diff oil level I did at 50hr and it was 3 quarts low they never checked anything on mine I have 150hr on mine already been in the shop twice already you got a good one.
I will do that. Thanks for the heads up!
I got a good one too mine is at 125 hours and I have beat the snot out of it and it's still going strong I used it for a driveway that was 300 feet long with a land plane and then spread the gravel i have dug two giant holes for 3000 gallon water tanks a bunch of holes for a huge deck mowing the grass on a 2-acre property every summer and plowing the snow every winter with snow skis like little plates that go in the bucket so it don't dig in the ground I have forklift for it ball hitches I move trailers around the yard the bush hog is awesome it is a dream come true to have this tractor I'm sure my back would have blown out 10 times doing all that work by hand it's truly a blessing. I even backfield a huge retaining wall and so many other things
@@thethiefonthecross9092 after having mine for 15 months and 220hrs later I am disabled Vet and I couldn't live without mine to bad it took me 55yrs to get it lol. But this is the most property I've ever owned.
I like the messy garage! Feels like my place.
When I clean it up, it doesn’t last more than a few hours and it’s messy again! Lol
I was not aware of the app. Thanks for that!
Thanks for watching!
Mine will be arriving this morning, hope I did the right thing.
Congratulations! My guess is that you’re going to love it.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead Thank You, I think you're right.
Nice video..thanks.. You put fluid in your tires for weight.. what fluid and whats the procedure? Is it as straight forward as adding water?? Thanks again and very nice place you have..
Thanks for the kind words and for watching. I had the dealer put the fluid in before they delivered it. I think they used calcium chloride. The weight makes a huge difference. I would recommend it. However, calcium chloride will reduce the life of your rims due to corrosion. There may be some other options out there that are better. To me, the increase in traction and stability is worth replacing the rims in 10 years if I need to...
I've heard beet juice is also used, doesn't freeze.
You need to invest in a magnetic broom (at least that's what they are called Down Under) I've collected thousands of metal fragments and screws etc off my driveway as that's my only work area. Great Video, I also have the 23s and love it.
You’re right! I’ve seen those. I may have to pick one up. Thanks for watching!
Very Nice video, I'm also receiving my BX23S with 60" mower deck very soon! I'm also in Queensland down at the end of the earth where Johnathan lives..ha ha. Take care you guys!
Thanks and congratulations! Come back and let us know how you are liking it!
Very useful video, and thanks for posting it along with your thoughts.
Thanks for watching!
Helpful review, I’m considering this tractor.
Thanks for watching! I can honestly say this tractor is still one of my favorite purchases ever. I use it for everything! If you decide to get one, I hope it serves you well!
Same. Looking to excavate my foundation and also do general property maintenance
The biggest PITA's on that tractor is adjusting the fan belt and changing the anti-freeze.
I’ve not done those yet so I have that to look forward to. Lol
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I've owned a BX-25 for over 10 years. I call it a little pit bull. It's amazing how easy this machine starts. I pull the battery for winter and when I pop that battery back it, the thing starts right up!
Hi guys, I mentioned not to long ago that I'll be getting my BX23s soon, well I took delivery of my machine today and I'm super stoked about it! Had to park it in the shed before someone takes aim at me...ha ha couldn't get of the tractor tonight. 🤣🤣
Congratulations! That’s awesome. 2 years later, I’m still get excited to go out and run mine!
I hear ya on the garage thing, there's no keeping one clean lol. Nice tractor by the way.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead👍
10 minutes with a basic pressure washer....before you service
Thank me later 😁
No doubt. Unfortunately it was 18 degrees when I recorded this so... lol
Why not show the machine in operation why just talk and talk?
I have some videos showing the machine in action. What are you looking to see? I am always looking for video ideas.
