Kubota BX 2200

[fastfreddies]

I have a BX 2200, it normally runs great.
But lately after it warms up it's sluggish.
It has fresh fuel, fuel filters, air filter, and I've used Sea Foam.
Once it gets to normal temp, it seems to lose power.
It dose not run hot.

On mine the throttle would creep toward idle while operating, just had to tighten the friction bolt.
Otherwise how are your Hydro fluid and filter? If that gets clogged or water in it the tractor will not operate well and everything is is hydraulic on these machines.

Can you elaborate a bit? What all do you mean by "sluggish?" Does it miss and sputter or just slower than normal by your feel for it? Any typical load it fails to handle well > etc. Does loosening the fuel filler cap change anything? (built up vacuum in tank after running a while?)

I had a 2200 for almost 12 years from new and had this kind of problem. These had a really crappy fuel gauge sender unit in the tank that loved to disintegrate. I think if you take off the fuel hose from the tank to the first filter and blow air back into the tank, you'll solve your problem - at least temporarily. Bits of the sender unit flake off and clog the tank outlet. you may have to repeat this more than once. The other option is remove the tank and really clean it out, but it is a huge pain to do. Hope this helps !

I have a steep road to my house, I use to go up the road in hi gear no problem, now it has to be in low gear just to go up my road.
I have ckecked the fuel cap and no difference

Black smoke? I had loss of power once. Mice had packed the air filter housing with little acorns.
Service or blow out your air filters recently?

 

[fastfreddies]

No black smoke air filter is new and clean
Not running hot
Only after a few hours power starts to drop off

Is the motor itself bogging or just does not have the drive to go. One is engine the other is hydraulic/HST. I have 4500 hrs on my 2200 and the only time the engine acted up was bad fuel from a neighbor or clogged filter. Every HST problem has been hydro bypass. 3 point or loader valve maxed deadheading the system or a busted hydro line. Pretty sure I've replaced all at least once (including hard line) and some many times.
How long since last hydro oil and filter change? Does fluid look good?
Are both fuel filters good? if engine is bogging.

One thought there a fan that cools the HST , if you strip the fan blades (quite easy to do) it will cause the HST to run very hot and loose power. I could also just be LOTS of crud build up on the fins of the HST.
I've replaced the fan a few times until I finally build a shield to keep sticks out there. Been years since I had that problem
