It stays at an overview level with no live operation or pricing, but the direct spec comparisons, seat quality, three-point hitch positioning, bucket sizes, cylinder cushioning, make it useful for shoppers deciding between these two Kubota TLB options.

The BT603 backhoe on the BX23S generally lifts about 500 pounds over the boom, dropping substantially as it extends straight out.
The BH70 backhoe digs a flat bottom of seven feet, with a reach of about seven and a half feet straight out.
The BX23S has a nice high back seat with tilt steering, while the B2601 seat is a one seat unit that is not as nice to sit in.
The B01 series, including the B2601, comes in either 23 or 26 horsepower, while the BX23S is limited to just 23 horsepower.
