The Kubota BX23S Tractor Loader Backhoe (TLB) is a purpose-built sub-compact workhorse for property owners who need digging, lifting, and landscaping capability in one compact machine. Factory-matched tractor, loader, and backhoe give you a clean, ready-to-work setup for Kansas acreages.
Kubota’s 23 HP diesel delivers reliable torque for loader work and backhoe digging while staying fuel-efficient and easy to maintain. It’s designed for long service life with the same engine family used across Kubota’s proven BX Series.
The LA344S front loader and BH603 backhoe are engineered specifically for the BX23S. Hydraulics, subframe, and controls are all integrated, so you get smooth operation and less “cobbling together” compared to add-on aftermarket setups.
The BX23S fits in garages, sheds, and tight backyards, yet the backhoe can tackle trenching for water lines, drain tile, landscape beds, and stump removal. It’s a popular choice for owners who want a real digging tool without stepping up to a full-sized construction machine.
The BX23S is designed so the loader and backhoe can be removed when you want to mow or use 3-point implements. The included 3-point kit lets you switch between backhoe work and rear tools (like a box blade or rotary cutter) as your property needs change.
A simple 2-range hydrostatic (HST) transmission gives car-like pedal control, perfect for loader work and precise backhoe positioning. Standard 4-wheel drive improves traction on slopes, wet spots, and loose soil, especially when using the loader or backhoe.
The BX23S features a flat operator deck, clear sight lines to the loader and backhoe, and an easy swivel between tractor seat and backhoe controls. That means less climbing, less twisting, and more time actually getting work done on your property.
Bottom Line: The Kubota BX23S Tractor Loader Backhoe gives Kansas property owners a compact, garage-friendly machine that can dig, lift, and landscape with confidence— backed by Ravenscraft Implement’s local support and service.

For many owners, yes. The BX23S is compact enough for tight spaces and garages, yet capable of handling digging, trenching, driveway maintenance, and landscaping. If your projects involve larger excavation or commercial use, we can help you size up.
