I am curious about this as well. My 2620 never really seems to move up on the gauge. I will be honest I don't pay attention to it that close I just notice that after running the tractor for an hour or more it still really doesn't registar. There are no marks as to what temp is where on the gauge, but it really doesn't seem to move up.

My B2320 acts exactly as jbrier describes.

On my BX23, the wire attached to sensor on the engine would come off a little. Just enough that it would do what you guys are saying. I finally got the connector squeezed good enough that now the temperature gauge works fine. Even around freezing it will visibly move the dial to luke-warm position.

On my 2620 I dont have this problem. The gauge works and moves up accordingly. I did check a lot while operating in the summer/fall months as some jobs I was doing the tractor was on for hrs. at a time. I havnt used yet in winter but I have gone out to the barn recently and fired her up and kept running till I brought it up to temp. and the gauge did move up some so not sure if this is a problem you guys are expirencing due to cold weather or if something is just faulty. Good Luck

I noticed this in the summer. I wasn't sure if something was wrong or I was just taking it really easy on the tractor trying to break it in. Sounds like something is probably wrong.

I will have to check the sensor connector. Thanks Spike23.

I agree somthing may be wrong. It seems odd several of us have experienced this but In light of all the posts in other threads about the QC of the new B's, I wouldn't be surprised. Where is the temp sensor at on these tractors?

I have a B2620 and the temperature guage registers just to the to the top of the cold area but never moves higher into the normal operating zone. I thought I had a thermostat problem bbut by the sounds of it I now think the guage is not calibrated well or is mismatched. It' not a serious problem but on a new tractor guagues should work. I'll be asking my dealer about it.

I also have a B2920 with a temp gauge that don't seem to work. I am taking it to dealer for service soon so I will have them check it out. Also, my quick hitch finally arrived. ( 6 mos late ) I haven't mounted it yet. I hope it fits.
