Kubota B2601
I have a Kubota B2601 with a BH70 backhoe on it. My lever that controls the bucket curl in and out seems to be sloppy and doesn't work. All other controls work fine. The tractor is a new one with only 14 hours on it. The lever goes over into where the downrigger levers are. Any ideas?

don't touch it, this is what you paided new equipment money for, a warranty

I’d rather fix a simple issue than deal with taking it back. Does the control that doesn’t work have full range of motion both ways?

Yes the other control works fine. Also the control that curls the bucket works except for uncurling bucket. I can’t tell if it will curl because it is already fully curled in.

No it doesn’t have full range it seems to be tilting onwards towards the outrigger levers.

Have you taken the cover off to look at the connections between the handle and the valves, if something is loose it souls be pretty easy to see. Not much to the linkage setup, m going to guess a bolt has backed out from the heim joint on that lever. Does it look anything like this pic

Pull the cover under valve handles..
You'll see pretty quick what needs doing.
Simple adjustment process.
Dealer gave me mine with one outrigger barely functional and right hand hoe lever way off in right field compared to left side. Issue solved through 20 min of adjusting.
