As the Kubota BX23S weighs 1,570 and the backhoe attachment weighs 607 pounds, your rig will weigh 2,177 pounds (approximately). The combined weight capacity of the Stallion Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set # 288-07502 is 6,000 pounds (3,000 per ramp), so it will have absolutely no issues carrying the load. The 16" deck height will actually be the maximum suggested for this ramp set, so it will be a little steep, but definitely manageable.

However, if you wanted a little more length to lessen this angle the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # 325-GH-R84 is also highly recommended. This has the same 6,000 pound combined weight rating, but is then 84" long. So if you were worried about the angle of ascent, this may be the better option.
