BX2230 22hour review

[astor]

Ok, I've had my BX2230 since Jan. 10th, and it has snowed almost every day and we continue to get pounded! What good luck The BX2230 moves a lot of snow. I am getting the hang of using the bucket at the correct angle and the backblade both forward and pushing with it backwards. I do believe having this much fun clearing the drive can not be legal /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I have had only a small hydraulic leak from one loader hose. After finding it all I had to do was tightens the connector. Actually both sides were leaking but it was not a big deal.
This tractor is solid and easy to operate. It burns little fuel and is a real pleasure making tough work easy. Now if I can just get my kid to share seat time I'll be all set /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Since it's still early Feb. I can plan on a lot more white stuff and this year I don't mind /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

one quick question. If you park your tractor with the loader raised slightly, should it eventually settle on the floor or does that mean you are losing hydraulic pressure somewhere??

Thanks

Hi,
You have bought a fine machine. I have a BX 22.
It is normal for hydraulic pressure to leak down over time. I don't think you have anything to be concerned about.
The only time I would worry about it is if the front bucket started to lower within a few minutes of shutting the tractor off.
My BX 22 hydraulics will bleed down over a period of time ( have not timed it) but I don't think its a unusual amount of bleed down.

Good luck with your tractor...it's a fine machine

Greg

It is not unusual for a loader or 3PH attachment to drop if left in the up position.

my b 2400, from the day i got it with 60 hrs on it , the loader will lower slowly over time. wondered if the 3 pt would do the same so one day i left the backblade up, next day it was stiil where i left it! now mind u that was just a tes and i always lower all implements when done with the tractor.have noticed at the tractor deale in town(different brand) that he will leave some out witht the loader lifted high, they don't seeem to drop.
