Loader Problem Solved

[Anonymous Poster]

Recently I posted a message about the loader on my Kubota not raising aand lowering. I got many suggestions from you fellas about what to check. I want to thank you for responding to my message. Things like this is what makes Internet so great. Now let me tell you what was wrong with my loader.

There wasn't water frozen in the line somewhere. It wasn't low on fluid and the filter wasn't stopped up. There wasn't a loose quick disconnect or sticking ball. I am almost ashamed to tell you what was wrong. But hey!, I'm a big guy. Here was the problem: while pushing snow I accidently put the loader in float. Now, when it is in float, you can't raise and lower the loader until you slap it out of float. And since it was so cold, and it doesn't disengage so easily, I didn't even know it was in float.

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

The loader was in float? Golly, Tom, that's almost as bad as the complaint I had about my B2710 for the first few months when it would fire and die when I tried to start it, and I had to re-start it 3 to 5 times before it would keep running. That is until I finally figured out that the problem was that I was turning the key loose so quick when it fired that the spring in the switch was popping the key back fast enough to shut it off./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Thomas,
Thats how we learn and also teacher others.
When I first got my B7100 I just finsh pressure washing and than start the tractor to put away,than when stepping down on the pedal it wouldn't move, /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif and thinking the brakes were frozen I let it set in the sun for hours only to find out I didn't release the parking brake. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Glad you found the promblem and happy plowing. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I'm getting so used to brain malfunctions that I hardly pay any attention any more. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

When I first got my L2500, the guy who delivered it gave me a one-hour hands-on lesson on tractorin'. The last thing he showed me was how to shut 'er down, and then, with a smile and a wave, I bid him farewell.

I then immediately hopped back on my new orange stallion, put her in neutral, set it between gear ranges like I'd been taught, and turned the ignition key only to be greeted by a deafening silence. I double-checked everything a dozen times, cursing more and more 'cuz I could find nothing wrong and still it wouldn't start. /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif

I was already heading for the phone (if I was lucky I could catch the tractor guy on his cell phone before he got too far to turn around and come back), when I finally remembered about that engine stop knob. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Pushing that puppy back in made all the difference in the world /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif, and I was so glad I hadn't made that phone call.

Of course I refuse to admit that early the next morning I had the exact same mental lapse. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
This time, however, I remembered in less than half the time it took me before. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I have the same problem when my wife uses the tractor. She has the habit of shutting of pulling the fuel kill and leaving it out. My habit is pull it out till the engine stops, then push it back in and turn off the key. Ready to start next time around. Don't know how many times I cranked it after she used it w/o success!! Sure feel better though when you see that's all it is!
