A BX with a real backhoe on the back — dig, trench and landscape without renting.

It's built for the digging and trenching jobs that come up around a property or a landscaping project — footings, drainage runs, moving stone. With the factory BT603 backhoe, that's roughly 6 feet 2 inches of digging depth and about 8 feet 7 inches of reach from the swing pivot, which covers most residential and small commercial digging jobs. I'll always confirm the exact numbers against the spec sheet for your specific job before we lock anything in.
If you're doing a full landscaping season or building projects most years, owning can beat renting an excavator twice a year. The other side of the math: it's still a full BX underneath, so it mows on Sunday and isn't a one-trick machine.
21.6 HP gross, 17.7 HP at the PTO. It runs an HST transmission like the rest of the BX family.
Yes, a cab kit is available on the BX23S in addition to the open station.
It's sized the same as the rest of the BX80 family, roughly 1 to 10 acres, with the backhoe added for property owners who need to dig as well as mow.
