    SOLVED BX23S FEL lift stopped working?

    Dan I will test this later today! Hopefully it is only the coupler that is bad. I kind of doubt the coupler for the lift cylinder could go bad while hooked up and running the machine? I could see if I had just connected it and it stopped working, but im no hydraulics guy for sure! I will post...

    SOLVED BX23S FEL lift stopped working?

    I will try #1 and #2 tomorrow. #3 the power beyond hose is at the rear of the tractor. It can only connect to its correct coupler the others are different. The BX is a little different than some of the bigger tractors. I will report back tomorrow. Thank you for all the help I really appreciate it!

    SOLVED BX23S FEL lift stopped working?

    I tried the 3 point all the way down and it still doesnt work. I have had this tractor since Oct 2017 and always kept the 3 point in the full upright position. Never a problem.

    SOLVED BX23S FEL lift stopped working?

    What would the power beyond be blocked with? Air? The BX23S has the 4 hose in one quick coupler. Theres no way to swap hoses around. I went out again and removed the PB hose and burped the male and female fittings. I removed the quick coupler and did the same on both sides of the quick coupler...

    SOLVED BX23S FEL lift stopped working?

    Anyone know how to remove the black plastic cover around the joystick and other controls? I need to get a good look at the valve. Maybe it stopped working right after trying float, I dont remember exactly. Maybe the float plunger never released all the way???

    Build diary - 55 gallon drum watering system

    Box blade recommendation for BX

    I run a 60" box blade with no issue on my BX! Whats another 3 or 6 inches on each side??? Of course your soil has a lot to do with how ground engaging equipment works! Mine is a LP BB1260 around 350 lbs. I can drag it full of gravel if you need more traction put some weight in the FEL! The BB...
