Attachment fit for the BX23S is decided by four of these figures: hitch category, PTO horsepower, PTO shaft speed, and implement weight against the 680 lb three-point lift rating. Because this is a sub-compact tractor, implements must also be rated for sub-compact use. Front-mount attachments additionally require the correct loader quick-attach type and, for grapples, a third hydraulic function. Every figure above is read from manufacturer documentation, linked on the page.

How the BX23S compares

The Kubota BX23S is rated at 17.7 PTO horsepower, which is more than 19 of the other 194 tractors in our database (the median is 31). Among the 35 Kubota models in the database it ranks 32nd by PTO horsepower. Its PTO figure is 82 percent of its 21.6 engine horsepower; across the database the median is 82 percent.

Its three-point lift is 680 lb at 24 inches behind the lift points, more than 6 of the 173 other tractors that publish one (the median is 2,081 lb). Its loader lifts about 484 lb at 24 inches forward of the pin (500 mm forward of pin (metric SAE). Close approximation), more than 2 of the 65 other tractors with loader data on file (the median is 812 lb).

Of the 173 attachments checked, 67 are full matches, 40 are compatible with notes and 66 are ruled out. The median tractor in the database has 133 full matches, and this one has more than 40 of the other 194. The 66 ruled out fail on PTO horsepower (58), hitch category (1) and lift capacity (18); a pairing can fail on more than one check.

It is a full match for all 15 rear blades and all 14 landscape rakes. It has no full match among the 11 flail mowers, 13 grapples, 7 pallet forks and 5 land planes.

The widest full match by attachment type: box blade 73.5 in (Frontier BB5072); rotary tiller 50 in (Land Pride RTA1250); rotary cutter 48 in (Land Pride RCR1248); finish mower 60 in (Bush Hog FM60). The next width up: box blade, the 84 in CountyLine BB84, is compatible with notes; rotary tiller, the 57 in Frontier RT1157, is ruled out on PTO horsepower; rotary cutter, the 56 in Bush Hog BH115, is ruled out on PTO horsepower; finish mower, the 72 in Bush Hog RDTH-72, is ruled out on PTO horsepower.

The heaviest full match is the Rhino BB72 at 510 lb, against the Kubota BX23S's 680 lb lift.

The closest tractors by PTO horsepower are the Kubota BX2380 (17.7 HP, the same), the Zetor M22HTL (17.6 HP, −0.1), the Kubota B2301HSD (17.4 HP, −0.3).
