    BX25 Shuts off, then won't shut off

    Wow, Thanks for a quick & knowledgeable answer. Yes, the 10 amp Delay fuse was blown. Looking around, I suspect the jumper than got mysteriously installed in the seat switch wiring may have been getting to the chassis under the seat :) . Taped er up good and wire-tied it out of trouble. May...

    BX25 Shuts off, then won't shut off

    My BX25 died suddenly. Like the fuel solenoid shut her down. After a few seconds it restarted, ran fine but would not turn off. Pulled the solenoid by hand to shut it down. Found the solenoid fuse blown. replaced it and a few days later the same thing happened. So, something is firing the...

    BX-25 Speed of backhoe?

    Much more than an overgrown lawnmower. I've had a lot of mowers. I have about 25 acres. 1/2 hills and trees, half hills and grass. I mow with a conventional lawn tractor but the BX does things I simply could not get done without it. Cut ditches, filled ditches, moves a lot of gravel, dug out a...

    BX-25 Speed of backhoe?

    Timed my Backhoe arm this AM. (Windy 37 degrees) I got very close to same values as you 5.5 for top piston and 9.5 to flex bucket fully. I'm going to write this down in my owners manual. Could be good info in the future. I suppose pin grease and temp, and... But just wanted a ballpark. Again...

    BX-25 Speed of backhoe?

    You know I suppose the best test would be the boom straightening. Big piston of top of the arm from one extreme to the other. I think this will be a guide to at least see if mine is different than "standard". Yes, I agree about the arm jerks being dangerous if something or someone is too close...

    BX-25 Speed of backhoe?

    Well, it seems if I get the RMP up to 3K I just hit the bypass valve more often. Yes, it does increase the speed. What speed you you dig at? Rain, Sigh.. I did fix my wheel speed. Rock jammed at the reverse pedal. Good fit. Needed chisel to get it out. Now hitting stop bolts fwd and reverse...

    BX-25 Speed of backhoe?

    I'm having slow wheel drive but also think my Backhoe is slow. Can't make a hill in bunny gear. Review of past threads say look for linkage problems. I'm off to do that now. Check fluid level at same time. Last summer was very hard as We dug out 24 large pines (12-14" diameter) that a previous...

    BX25 won't reach top speed

    Skid Plate? LOL I broke the HST fan in the first 5 minutes. Flipped up a stick in the woods. Not a BRANCH, a stick. A lot of broken fans on the forum. Bad design (or lack there of) Dealer helped fix it AFTER a long letter to Kubota. Years ago. I made my own out of a piece of 1/4 PVC sheet. Cut a...
