No Steering

[BX2200Ken]

Got my AG tires on and what an unbelievable difference over turf tires with traction. But now I have big problems. Yesterday after mowing and some real hill climbing with the mower as I went to park it for awhile I noticed the steering wandering a bit (kind of unresponsive) but it's done that before so I wasn't concerned. After about 30 minutes I went to use it again and I have absolutely NO steering, none. How does this steering work and where do I start to try and diagnose this problem.

Your steering cylinder is leaking internally, a common issue with the BX2200 (ask how I know). You can replace it, or repair it. It is the one mounted over the front axle, connected to both front wheels.

If you have never replaced your hydraulic steering hoses, you might be having an issue with one of them.

If it went completely and that quickly, I might suspect a hose problem.

Generally it's a split and leak, but could be restricted as well.
