    BX2200 Vibration in front wheels while in 4 wheel drive

    Well....after replacing the joint that is attached on the front wheel PTO shaft from the transmission my FWD drive behaves like it should. I really couldn't find anything wrong with the old universal joint but from the peculiar angle that the joint operates it would be difficult to replicate.

    BX2200 Vibration in front wheels while in 4 wheel drive

    Greetings from Central Kentucky. My 2005 BX 2230 w/500 hrs is doing the same thing. I sheared the pin in my front drive shaft. After I replaced the pin in the front drive shaft universal coupling I noticed that I had a vibration while in 4 WD, it went away when in 2 WD. At this point I have to...

    Bush hogs

    I used a 4 ft bushog on my bx2230 and it was a little heavy as you mentioned. The problem I had was tearing up the rubber boots on the steering cylinder from brairs and small sapling trees

    Three point hitch hydraulics

    I typically use my draft control knob to make my grader blade drop slowly....so it doesn't hit the ground so hard, especially when plowing snow off my paved driveway. It also slows the descent of my bucket on the front end loader. I generally lower any equipment to rest on the ground when the...

    Three point hitch hydraulics

    Many/some tractors have a "draft control knob" on my Massey 1533 and a kubota bx2230 there is a round knob right below the seat and if turned too far clockwise interferes w/the operation of the 3 pt hitch. The knob also adjust how fast the hydraulics will operate. Hard to imagine anything wrong...

    BX2230 headlight issue

    My headlights will only illuminate for 40-50 seconds before the go out. They will not turn back on until the machine has set over night. They will only turn on 1 time no matter how long the tractor has been running.....I noticed only after mowing several hours and upon putting it away in a...

    BX23 loose steering

    Sounds like he may be talking about being able to turn the steering wheel and it doesn't change the direction of the front wheels....it's a momentary lapse in control of the front wheels......which in my case was the steering cylinder "O" ring failure which was a straight forward repair.

    glow plug timers

    Glow Plug timers are just exactly that.....it allows the glow plugs to heat up for a set amt of time which could be longer than necessary especially after the machine has been running and doesn't need preheating of the glow plugs. Personally I would think it would be better to activate the glow...

    BX2230 Steering failure

    The steering cylinder was the culprit. I removed the cylinder and took it to the dealer. 400 hours total time on tractor....I wouldn't have expected this repair w/so few hours. I just got a call from the dealer and they informed me they made a mistake on the bill. I had the rubber booted joints...

    BX2200 steering freewheeling

    When not running I can VERY SLOWLY turn my steering wheel in several complete circles... when I jerk the wheel, you feel resistance of the steering engaging. When you jerk/turn the steering wheel quickly the amount of hydro fluid being moved is enough to over whelm the leaking of the "O" ring as...

    BX2200 steering freewheeling

    I'm presently having the same problem. It seems to be a common problem. I believe my problem is the steering cylinder "O" rings. There is a kit available for repair. I have not repaired the problem as yet. I'm looking for some diagrams of the steering gear. Good Luck

    BX2230 Steering failure

    Apparently, from the posts I've been reading it would appear I have the all too common steering cylinder "O" ring failure. There is a repair kit avialable...all I need are some diagrams to facilitate the removal of the steering cylinder and the installation of the "O" rings any help or comments...
