Read articles →This is a maintenance-focused walkaround of an owned BX23S, not a buying guide. It points out specific locations (radiator screen, dual fuel filters, axle fill, hydraulic dipstick, hydrostatic fan blade under the deck) and practical tips: replace both fuel filters together, use UDT2 fluid, grease the hidden fitting behind the pedal flap so the neutral safety switch works, and add fuel stabilizer. Useful for current BX23S owners doing routine upkeep.

There is a grease fitting hidden under a flap near the pedal. If it is not greased, the pedal will not fully return to neutral, and a safety switch will prevent the tractor from starting.
The axle fill takes roughly about five quarts of UDT2 hydraulic fluid.
Yes, whenever you replace a fuel filter, you should do both at the same time, since there is no petcock to shut off the fuel.
Use a skid plate underneath, such as one from BX Panda, or make one from metal, to protect the hydrostatic fan blade from damage.
