How much bubbles in BX23s transmission?

[OrangePower]

I was told that you can check hydro level at any time, with loader/backhoe any position and the fluid would be the same level. Well, that wasnt true, diff positions produced diff results, so, I started the tractor to see what the running level was, like in a auto trans car. When I pulled the filler plug, the tranny was LOADED with air bubbles.

I thought the tractor was low on fluid, but, playing with the implements, I would get either a perfect level, or, over filled level, so, it has/had enough fluid. I started it back up and it would foam up again.

It seems to foam up to the bottom of the filler plug hole. Thats about 1"-2" or so of space before the normal level is.

Is that normal?

Bubbles ARE not normal, you have an air infiltration somewhere, most likely on the low pressure side.

Return oil is going to naturally aerate and form bubbles as it is sprayed into the reservoir. Should not be a bubble bath in there.

Oh, its def a bubble bath in there, for sure. One of the things i will ask them to check out when I send it in for some warrantee and insurance work.

I have a 23s so this topic is of interest.
