BX Quick disconnect problem on snowblower

[Earl Ohl]

What a dumb *****! All the way right on the stick. I had no idea that was even there. Thanks to all. It works and I feel stupid. You guys are great.

Thanks again
Jim

Don't feel dumb. I had my B3030 several months before I discovered the float position on the loader valve.

Thanks for this thread.................the exact same thing happened to me yesterday when I put my blower on my BX2350:laughing:

Spoke to soon..................went out and tried that..........I still found the shoot rotator will only go 1 way. If I reverse the lines it will go the other direction. If I use the 2 outer connections that is used to lift & lower the snowblower it will turn in both directions. Yet if I hook up the loader it works like it should..........Pretty weird

First time posting here. This topic has me wondering about my current project. I wasn't going to buy the factory snow plow so I have been adapting a ATV plow to run off of the loader valve. I am using single acting cylinders for the angle motion and was under the belief that I would be OK as long as I pushed the loaded valve past the detent. If someone can clarify it would be appreciated. I hope as soon as the paint dries on my plow mount I will be hooking up the hoses to try it this week. I have learned a bunch from this forum the last 6 months. Thanks

Welcome to TBN

If you have a newer 'bota, you should be fine. Some of the older ones came with the "3-way" valve, but all the new ones have the 4-way.
