Niel , because of your videos I have purchased a BX23S with a 60" deck. I appreciate all of your help. I got everything for $20,000.00 out the door. Quick release bucket, 3 point hitch, mower, cutting blade, bucket snow pipe. Getting pricing down from 24,500.00 was only because you informed me. Thank you so much!

I have never owned or operated a tractor until a couple weeks ago. I can personally vouch that removing and reinstalling the backhoe and loader are straight forward on the bx23s. Cool little machine for sure. In the actual instructions they have you set it on the ground with out blocking.

Thank you so much for posting. So much easier than reading boring instructions! This tractor is amazing...what a great little machine! I'm very new to tractors and just bought a BX23s and your videos have been a TREMENDOUS help!

Thanks for showing us this Neil. Can't say I've seen anyone on KZread do a how to vid on this yet. I was wondering how the new setup works. Looks like an improvement for sure. Take care!!

I don't know what I would do without your videos Neil

Best explanation I have seen yet on how to actually understand and how to do this on a Kubota

Thank you so much for all of your videos. I have learned so much, and you are straightforward and easy to understand.

I don’t even read the instructions until after I have watched your videos. Thanks Neil.

Thank you for doing this one and your other videos .. helps to refresh instructions with a video; not just hands on and the book .

The original model BX22 has this same style mounting, mine still works well nearly 20 years later!

Thanks for another great video, full of helpful information.

Niel. Thank you for the video. Before I tried this on my BX23S, I watched your video and I was convinced that I would do it as easy as you did. Nope. :) Lining up the 'J' hooks to the lower pins was a little challenging without basically hanging off the back seat while looking down and backing at the same time. My backhoe didn't 'leak down' too much, but I did have to use the out-riggers to bring it back up high enough to get the lower pins above the hooks. Kind of like lining up to pull a trailer in some ways. Before you start, make sure to remove the large silver locking pins that keep the boom from moving out, or side to side, makes it a lot easier. Try to keep the back hoe in the shade as much as possible when not in use. The sun's heat will cause a build up in pressure on the hydraulic lines on the backhoe and make them more difficult to re-connect. I found that hooking the two lines together when not in use seems to help a bit. Finally, WATCH YOUR HOSES when you're re-connecting, especially the last part when you swing the backhoe towards the tractor. The FIRST time I did this, I pinched and burst the hydraulic return line with the locking mechanism. I know, stupid move, but I was watching the boom and not looking out for the hose positions. Rookie mistake. :) Great tips and good luck everyone!

Thanks so much for all your videos. Being a bit of a dummy with things mechanical, your videos are perfect for a guy like me.

Thanks for showing Neil. it works great..

Nice video - you guys do a great job. One suggestion; Place the "swing lock pin" in place to keep from inadvertently swinging the boom and possibly pinching the operator.

Your videos have been super helpful! I wish I could buy a tractor from you but the delivery to Maine would be a bit much.

Do you have a video for installing the BH70 backhoe to the 2601? The operator’s manual is not helpful

This video Bussin' thank you Messicks!

Before removing the hydraulic couplers, bring the stabilizers up and rest the backhoe platform flat. Saves room and is quite stable.

I really appreciate all of your informative videos. It has made learning the backhoe very easy, especially for someone who has never owned one. I watched your backhoe remove and reinstall video several times. Getting it off the tractor was easy, getting it back on...not so much because what I saw in that part of your video confused me. When you pushed down on the boom to get the backhoe to lock onto the cams, the lever locked into place without touching it. I thought that was the way it was supposed to work, but in reality you normally have to pull out on the lever and then push it back up to get it to lock. So, like an idiot I tried half a dozen times to get that automatic lock function to work, and finally called my dealer who patiently explained to me that its not an automatic coupling with the cams..you have to pull that lever out and up. It appears in your video that the cam on the right side locked on its own, which normally would not happen. But anyway, I get it now. Just feel a little stupid.

Very good instructional video. Saved me a lot of time and possible frustration. Thanks for your time in posting this.

Omg without your video , I'm not sure if I could have done it :) thanks

Great video, I had to go order some parts off their website as a thank you!

It's an inexpensive option. I don't currently have a video but one is on my road map.

Ok, just watched your video about not attaching a backhoe to a 3 point hitch. I believe you were talking about a subframe to attached it to. Im currently looking into purchasing a utility tractor and require a backhoe. Is this mounted to a 3 point hitch (hard to see) or to a subframe piece added to it. You had done a video about too much stress to the center of the tractor with a loader at one end and a hoe at the other?

@MessicksEquip

6 жыл бұрын

Any modern tractor getting a backhoe mounted on it typically is going to use a subframe that runs between the rear axle housing and up to the base of the loader. It doesn't touch the 3 point hitch.

If I'd have seen your videos when I purchased my 3800L I would have insisted to buy it from you. Mine came from Cavalier in Ashland Va who are now out of business. My salesman didn't take time for nothing just wanted to write the deal. Don't get me wrong love my 3800L but a little bit more from the salesman like you do would have gone a long way. Today I spoke to a friend who in fact purchased a BX23s. He said they tried to deliver it yesterday and bent something on the loader while he was showing how to remove it. Bent, scraped and scratched they told him they were going to bring him a new machine today, we'll see. While he was telling me about his experience I was looking at his yard and there isn't a level place in it. Honestly the street would have been a better choice.

very nice. helpful. thanks.

No, odly enough its only that BX23s that has the backhoe option...I was told you can add a backhoe to the other 80 series tractors but it would be an aftermarket option and not as easily setup and removed as the 23s configuration.

the concepts are similar. You pull pins rather than using the locking cams.

When you have the backhoe attachment, can you leave the 3 point hitch on or you have to remove it every time you put the backhoe on?

Depends on if you need a backhoe all the time or not. If you have use for a backhoe all the time, yes, otherwise skip it and get one without that attachment. In my case I have a friend that owns an excavation company, if I need a backhoe I know who to call LOL. I wouldn't have use for one often enough to warrant the extra cost of owning the attachment and having it sit around for years...one cool thing that would be great though is if some of these seldom used attachments were available at dealers to rent when needed rather than having to buy them.

If there is it'll be in one of three places. It'll either be an option when building and quoting the tractor, something your dealer can do for you as their own service, or you would have to do it yourself.

Tractor kubota hp and prices please one video

Call your dealer, they'll get you prices. My dealer emailed me a quote within a couple days after receiving my online request. It was a weekend. If you call your local dealer they can tell you right over the phone what its gonna cost you. Dealers can also have different prices due to sales as well...and I don't mean like sales on certain models, I mean due to the number of sales they have sometimes dealers get better incentives from Kubota because they're a top seller for example. So shop around. Call a couple dealers, call several if you have multiple dealers in your area. I only have 2, and one has very lousy reviews, the other has pretty good reviews and was very quick to reply to my request for a quote, and walk me though things I had on the quote that I now realize I don't need and a couple items that would be good to add...seems like the salesman was trying to get me to buy what I needed and save me money on stuff that wasn't needed or required for my applications. It pays to take the time to call or do a face to face with a salesman because once they know what you need your tractor for they can generally give you a really dang close quote on what you need versus what you thought you needed and save you the time, money, and struggle trying to figure it all out. My quote came back about $2,000 less than what Kubota's build configurator online gave me. I know its a Kubota, they're not cheap, but the $2,000 savings is right off the top before other discount incentives.

Anyone ever have one of those flat face couplers refuse to release and disconnect? Mine did that on my bx23s and after about 10 minutes of tinkering, I gave up and just put the backhoe back on 😂

Thanks for the video, but to me you leave out the most important part and that is actually showing how to match up the connections. While you explain part A really well, and then part C, you totally skip part B, which is the actual moving of the vehicle and parts to match them up together. Is that done because that is a difficult part or you need a second person? I want to see some struggling and cursing. I will be new to the tractor market and am concerned about that part. I have watched a couple of your videos and you seem to skip that part all of the time.

they went back to the jaw lock setup they had on the bt600. i dont see any provision to grease. if ya get one take the jaws out and grease or neversieze the pivots. they will ffreeze up and if it does on the tractor good luck getting them off.
