BX2200 Hydrauilc problems

[okie350]

I posted a while back about my hydraulic lever not returning back to center when I am using it and lugging the engine untill I return it manually to center.

As this seemed to be an intermintent problem I was not overly concerned with it. Things have changed. It is now raising part way, then will lug down like i have reached its limit, then I have to move the lever to the center position and move it to the raised position again. it will move further up then lug again, at which point I start the whole sequence again untill I am high enough to release the lock knob for the MMM. As a kicker, on two sepreate occasions I have had to do the same sequence to lower the MMM.

I have no clue as where to even start trying to diagnois what is happening. and am hoping it is something I can adjust. I have 700 HRs on the BX2200. Any suggestions or experince with this?

Are all of these syptoms occuring while trying to raise and lower the MMM?

If yes it sounds like you have a linkage issue since the MMM is gravity down and should have no effect on the engine.

No. If the eeck is in the locked position (up) the three point hitch requires the same sequence to raise.

As for lowering, it does not have an effect on the engine but will still need to be be put in center position and then lowered again (it has only done thice twice while lowering) but is doing it pretty regular while raising.

really could use some guidence guys:thumbsup:

How are you other hydraulic functions..Loader ect.??

 

[keyman1808]

Nothing binding on the rear 3PTH is there ?? they work together..at least on mine.

I do not have a loader, it is stictly a mower and trailer mover, the three point hitch is not binding that I can see. It has a draw bar attached on it that has been there for 6 years. I cant even see a place where the 3-point would bind up.

I am far from an expert but there are a couple of things I would check or do. First I would get under the tractor and make sure that there is nothing in the linkage binding it up like a stick or something to that effect. I would also lock my deck at the top possition and make sure that my 3PH works fully up and down as the are on the same circuit. I would also swap out my hydro filters incase they are getting plugged up. She might be starving for pressure. When did you last change filters and fluids?? Could be a bad relief valve too. These are just a few things to start with. Hopefully someone else will chime in with more knowledge than I and help.

I have checked to make sure nothing is binding in the linkage, and the prooblem is still there with the 3 point hitch when the mower deck is in the locked position.

As for the Hydraulic filter and fluid. it is past due, by about a 100 hours. Kind of off topic but I was not to worried about changing the oil as the dealer parts guy told me it does not go bad, just change the fliter.

I have the same issue with the 3pt kicking the lever back to neutral prematurely. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet..

I'll probably get to it when I take the tractor apart to figure out why it looks like I've twisted the frame .
