Buying Advice Quarter-inching Valve

[ChuckinNH]

Here are the tabs that are being talked about on a Bxx20 series. That works at low rpm on my tractor, but not at full pto rpm.

"I'm surprised your BX2320 doesn't have them since I thought they're required for the QI feature."

I do not have a BX, it is a B2320
Like someone else has stated---He thought there was a model B2320 that had position control. Even my dealer said it had QI:confused

I'm not sure that statement is correct. I had a B7800 and I am pretty sure the mower deck was floating (not suspended).

If you read my post carefully, you will find that all references are in present tense and only to tractors currently in production. No references were in past tense; no references were made to tractors currently out of production. And finally, I did not say that four digit numbers ending in 00 never have had floating MMMs available. That was something you inferred, not something I stated or even implied. My statement was, and is, accurate.

Well, after using the tractor with finish mower, I have concluded that I DO NOT have QI. Regardless of RPM, my lift will raise and lower like all the other larger tractors I have owned.
One interesting thing is that the spring on the rod that is adjusted with "nuts" in your photos, only makes contact with the lift arm tab, when the lift is raise all the way up. It centers the lift leaver to "neutral position" When my tractor is running with the lift leaver centered at neutral, there is about 3/4" space between the spring and the lift arm tab.
Since I bought this tractor used, from a dealer, and the owners manual could not be found, they have one ordered.
Closing off the lift knob, unter the seat, and opening it 1/4 turn, solved the lift drop problem.

You will find that the nut on the end that does not contact the spring can be set to limit how far the 3pt hitch drops which is handy when using the rotary cutter, etc. where you want to go back to the same height over, and over. There is a bit of trial, and error setting it, but it does work.

This thread is very interesting, I as well did not know the full ramifications of the QIV when I was loking at tractors, but it makes me very happy tyhat I did no go with my first instinct when I looked at the B3200 first, the chinsy controls is what turned me off of the kubota

So nice of you to swing by and kick somebody when they're a little down.

I'm confused by the Kubota website. The BX25 hydraulics specs (under Build My Kubota) list position control while the other BX models list quarter-inching valves.
Does the BX 25 really have position control or is this a typo?

Sorry about that, I was just adding my two cents worth to the thread.

It really was the biggest part of what turned me off about the bota

To the very best of my knowledge, that is a typo. Position control with Kubota starts at the B2630/ B3030 level / size of tractor. All other B's, and BX's just have the quarter inching option.
