My bx2200 has the same jumpy action when trying to lift the 3ph when using a rake or box blade. Its' awful tough to get it to lift just a little for spreading. You can hear the fluid bypassing(?) when you first get into the valve, then up she comes all at once. Throttling helps, but that can be a pain at times. I doubt its' possible, but a flow control valve or better throttling on the 3ph raise portion of the valve would be nice.

The dealer picked up the tractor this morning. I'll let you know what they say.

I have the same problem on my B7500. I'm a new owner and still learning about it, so I could be wrong, but I'm under the impression the valve under the seat will affect how fast or slow the 3-pt hitch goes down, but won't affect how fast it goes up.

The notice from Kubota on the filter sounds promising. I haven't gotten one yet, but I think I'll research that.

Hi, on mine it will affect both up and down movement.

The dealer called and found a piece of a shop rag or something in the valve. First thing my wife asked, was it blue?
Then my co worker...no faith...LOL! I know it wasn't from me since I used a brake cleaner and then wiped everything down after the filters we on.

That should fix the hicup trouble. Hopefully it will be smooth as well.

My new M9000 jerks the 3pt on the way up slightly. I haven't played with it much since it only has 15 hours on it. There was an earlier thread about this happening on an M8200 but I don't know what the outcome was. Maybe this is something all Kubota owners need to check on their machines. Is something wrong here? Minor yes but I expect a new machine to work perfectly. I'll do some more testing on my tractor.

I just got a landscape rake and noticed that my "up" is delayed until it finally jumps up. My weight box does not act that way.
I found that in adjusting the rake I have much better control in letting it down to the proper height rather than raising it to height I want. In feathering off after a run with the rake the jerky action does seem to leave a small mound versus a smooth transition. Maybe it is the nature of the beast!

Well this burns me./forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif The 3pt does the exact same thing and still has the hicup! I specifically asked the service manager about about it to, "Oh yea they checked all that out".

On my older Kubotas I did not have the problem. I could feather gravel in my driveway without any problems. Now with my 7500 I end up with humps and mounds all over the place. It can be really frutrating!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
