BX2200

[Anonymous Poster]

I have a BX2200 that runs for about 5 minutes and then dies, let it sit for awhile and then it restarts. I already changed the two fuel filters, any other ideas? Also I find the hydro pedal to stay down and very slow to return to neutral, anybody seen this with the BX2200 and what is the cure? Thanks

There are several post on the HST sticking and the fix. Just search this site. Kubota is now installing a grease fitting on the HST control. You might check with your dealer about this. I disconnected the shock cylinder inside the frame on my BX2200 and adjusted the spring tension. I haven't had any problems since then. On the stalling, my BX did the same thing. It turned out that the dealer had gotten water in the fuel system. They changed the filters, drained the tank ect. and I haven't had any problems since. Hope these ideas help you. I have about 47 hours on my tractor and it's running great. It is a fun tractor to drive.

Call the dealer, and they should be able to remedy both issues. As Watersjj noted, the sticking HST fix is known, and correctable by Kubota. Rather than fight these problems, put the warranty to use. Hopefully, you'll be back in the seat in no time!

I would have already called the dealer and had him out there! Probably you have water in the fuel. Heck, these new tractors--get the dealer out there. J

On a BX it is probaly the muffer belt

 

[TresCrows]

Yes ddl, the muffler belt is a good guess, could be right but I would check that kanuder valve operation before the belt thingy. Sometimes they stick closed and cause all kinds of consternations to occur. Of course if the muffler belt is contorting it could cause cyclic feed back into the fuel mesmeriser at which point one would be totaly sc----d! J, flamdangled

hey,
is the muffler belt an option. i dont have one i dont think?
im gonna call the dealer today and ask. it probably holds it on tighter and reduces any exhaust leaks, right?
