BX23 Joystick

[Couple of Achers]

For you BX23 owners out there, I have a question regarding the float position. I realize on most tractors that have the float position feature when you push the joy stick up into the float position, it "detents" and stays there until you physically pull it out of that position. On my BX23, it has the float position and it works fine as long as you "hold" the joy stick in that position. However, it will not "detent" into that position. It never has since new. I wasn't sure if that is normal on the 23 or not. Thanks.

I just found a Kubota LA211 FEL for my BX2200 and it has a detent at all the way forward for "float" that holds.

You may want to ask the question on the "Hydraulics" forum on TBN.

It is NOT normal.

Mine goes into the detent position and will stay there, but I usually hold it as it tends to bounce out of position while I am plowing snow. It would be nice if it could be locked into position.

Ken_CT, I'm glad you replied. I definitely wanted to here from a BX23 owner. It's predecessor the BX22 had a completely different valve on it and did detent. One of the big changes with the 23 was the new joystick. So I didn't know for sure if it was by design, or if there is something goofy with mine. Sounds like it may be the latter. I think I'll run down to the dealer tomorrow and talk with the service manager down there to see what he has to say. Thanks for know.

Ever since it was new, my BX23 has jumped out of the float position. It would sometimes stay there for a while, but especially over bumpy ground, it woukd jump out. If I'm going to float the loader, I now hold the joystick in the float position.

That doesn't seem normal. Mine stays in float without jumping out unless I really bounce over something, in that case the float is the least of my concerns.
