Perplexed

[vernon1957]

Hello everone , I am new to this site . I have been having a problem with my BX2370 which is used mainly for mowing and pulling small loads . This tractor is a 2015 year with 200 + hours . I will try to describe the issue as best as possible . When on level ground , up hill or down hill everything is as normal . When crossing a hill with left side downhill all is well . Tilt to right side downhill and it begins to shudder to the point of concern . It feels as if something is binding . The tractor does not have to be in motion , in gear , mower running or anything else , just sitting still with engine running at any speed . Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Checked all the fluid levels? Particularly the hydraulic fluid

Yes , all fluid levels are correct .

Fuel starvation. The fuel tank is on the right side, and the outlet may be partially plugged. Also, check the fuel filter that's under the right side, just before the fuel pump. It may be clogged, or have water in it.

Check the bars that stick out from the engine sides (red arrow) to prevent the engine torque from breaking the engine mounts. The second picture is the left one on my tractor with a nice gap to the chassis. The third is the right one right next to the chassis frame. When the tractor is inclined to the right, the bar is in contact with chassis and transmits the engine vibration. The lower the RPM the worst it feels. The dealer would not fix it, it is normal. Maybe loosening the engine mounts and centering the engine in the chassis might solve it.

Sounds like good advice . It is not used very often as you can tell by the hours . May be a little while before I can get to it , but will be sure to check those as soon as possible .

I cheated. I had read it elsewhere when mine was driving me nuts.
