I have a single axle "BigTex" trailer (30AA) which is 60" wide and 120" long. The Kubota specs for the BX23 say it is 83" long without the "3-point hitch".
Will the BX23 with FEL and BH fit on my trailer?
Weight should not be a problem as the trailer will carry > 2000 lbs and the BX23 is around 1500 lbs I think.
Thanks again!!

Nope.
Your total length with the back hoe in place is just a bit over 14 feet and weighs 2500+ pounds.
If you leave the back hoe and any other rear implement off, you MIGHT be able to use the trailer, but getting the tongue weight right is going to be a real problem.
I would strongly recommend you trade up to a 16 foot dual axle trailer with a minimum of 5000 GVW. ....

Case on point: The 2210 is the same weight and size as your BX. ....

ferrickside :
You're way off on the weight and length of your BX23.
I measured mine with BH and FEL attached and it's just slightly shy of being 15 feet long; so no you can't fit 180 inches into a 120 inch space.
Mine weighs right around 2500 pounds. so again it's 500 pounds to heave for a 2000 pound rated trailer.
You need a tandem trailer with brakes on all 4 wheels.
One of the first considerations in trailering is can you stop it rather than can you pull it.
What did you plan to tow the trailer with?
A little ole escort or Nissan pick up hain't enough.

The BX23 manufacturer specs state the weight without attachments at just over 1500#. I guess the attachments kick it up a bit!
I'll be hauling it with a 2004 Chevy Tahoe LT.
I have a smaller trailer and wondered (hoped!) it would suffice - apparently not!
I very much appreciate the advice, at least I didn't buy the current trailer with the intention of hauling a tractor on it - looks like I have an excuse to get another toy now... :^) ....

The BX loader weighs a bit over 400 pounds and the back hoe goes 600 easy. ....
