Hey guys!
I just replaced my HST on my bx22. Needless to say I put brand new recommended fluid and filter as well as cleaned the strainer. I tried lifting several large chunks of firewood rounds and found that the bucket had to be "tilted" via the lever then moved back to the "up" postion and rock the lever back and forth between these two settings quickly to get the bucket to lift the wood up at all, and didn't seem to have a ton of force behind it. If I remember right, the bucket seems to lift empty like it did before but with weight in it, it just sucks. Before the fix, the lever seems to have been sticky or junky feeling ever since I bought it.
I do have the backhoe for this machine, but haven't attached it since the repair, as I wanted to run everything for a few hours to make sure my repairs were successful.
Maybe I should connect the backhoe to rule out a hydraulic issue vs the bucket control valve?
I was thinking of doing a pressure check to see what pressure I'm running. Not sure either if anything needs to be bleed.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thx!
