The rear hitch is a Category I type with a lift capacity of 680 lbs (308 kg).

Built on a chassis with a 55.1-inch (139 cm) wheelbase, the BX1830 utilizes four-wheel drive and power steering for enhanced maneuverability. Braking is handled by wet disc brakes. The machine has an operating weight of 1,255 lbs (569 kg) and a ground clearance of 6.7 inches (17 cm). Safety equipment includes a two-post Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS), with an optional hard-side weather cab available for operator protection.
