Loader No loader or 3 point when idling

[The dirt doctor]

I have a bx 2350 with about 250 hours on it. Since it was new, the loader nor the 3 point would do anything unless I gave it some throttle. Do others experience this as well, or do I have a problem?

I own a lot of construction equipment and all have fully functioning hydraulic systems at an idle. I don't operate my tractor at an idle, I just wanted to make sure this was normal. Apparently it is for a bx so thanks to everyone for confirming.

Yep, our GL and M hydraulics function at idle, but not the BX; nature of the beast.

I'm not understanding how it could be a problem for anyone. Sitting at idle and you want to raise and lower the bucket or 3ph???? Rev it up a hair and they move, what kind of problem? I must be missing some thing.

Like I said it isn't a problem for me. However Llike I said I could see that it could be an issue for others (everyone has different needs and or wants).

Extreamly slow or none at all at idle would be considered normal.

I fire up my rig in the garage at idle. It takes approx. 15 seconds to raise the FEL and rear blower a couple inches off the floor so I can drive the 15 feet at idle (or barely above) out of the garage before I throttle up.

Mine responds at idle, but very slowly...

This was a design parameter for at least the BX24 and the other 50 series tractors (1850, 2350) - I had a BX1850 briefly. Don't know if the earlier BXs were like this, but Kubota changed something with the 60 series so that the hydraulics do move, albeit sloooowly, at idle. I do like this feature though it's not a show stopper. I like to be able to raise the FEL and 3PH just before I back out of my shed at idle. It's so tight in there, I have to move very slowly while I watch all around the tractor. Anyway, it is not a problem but just the way Kubota made that particular series of BX's.

Maybe you new B series owners can help me. I own a 20 year old B7100 with front loader and 3 pt hitch. I lost rear hydraulics. I use this with a tiller on a horse arena fairly often. Not real hard work for the tractor, but it is dusty and a weekly two hour event. Any ideas on no hydraulics whatsover? Front loader is moving, not fast, but say medium speed. i am not sure if I have two pumps on this tractor - -that would make sense with one not working at all. There was no puddle of fluid or broken hose or any 'eureka' item I could see.

My BX22 responds at idle...very slow if cold, faster when warm.
