BX24 4x4 clunky...

[ChuckinNH]

I've heard it is normal for the dealer to fill it, and then have it read low after a few hours use. I would contact the dealer for sure first. More than likely, they will send somone out to put in more UDT, but make sure it is doccumented so that if you have any problems down the road the warranty will cover it. I just have a few <10 hours on my B2620, and I need to check it since the dealer did advise me to after a few hours of use.

Just went out and checked my new BX and it was low. added almost 2 quarts. Thanks for bringing up this thread.

I also just went out and checked my new BX24 and added 1 quart. The SUDT wasn't even registering on the dipstick. I only have 38 hours on the tractor in 6 weeks of owning it. I hope I wasn't too low on fluid that may have messed something up. Maybe the manual needs to be changed to add this as a daily check? Luckily for me, this great forum taught me something else I didn't know about my tractor.

ok guys, If you can do me a favor and try out your 4x4 and see if you can feel what I feel. The service tech came and was very nice, but he said that feeling i was experiencing was normal. He DID feel it though, but i had to run him through it for him to tell. Otherwise he, or someone else wouldnt notice it. I notice it more when there is weight in the FEL, so I had the load full of dirt when the guy showed up. I know I only have 14 hours on it and i dont have a lot of time behind the wheel, buti noticed this was because i have never felt this before.

Thanks for everyones replys

If you are using 4WD in a tractor or a Truck, trying to turn on a surface that doesn't have any ability for slip the front end will bind up and chatter or bounce to create slippage. Something has to be able to give. The sharper the turn and the heavier the load on the loader the more amplified the effect.

If you were on concrete this would be at its worst. loose sand, mud, or snow you might not feel anything. If this is the reason for this noise or feeling, 4WD is not needed and should be disabled.

as said earlier this is on dirt and I only use 4x4 when needed. Even when using a truck in 4x4 and making a sharp turn I never herd chattering! I heard the wheels breaking loose and feel every this hard to turn, but still smooth. The service guy said it was the like a posi unit switch the power from wheel to wheel.

Good excuse except the BX24 doesn't have any posi traction type components in the front axle-

I agree with others- I can't even tell when mine is in 4x4, its that smooth.

Go to the dealer and drive another one...if doesn't do it then ask them to explain THAT

This is probably one of the most important bit of information I've gleaned from this Forum. Good stuff.
Thanks to all

This weekend I am planing on using the BX at my fathers, so Since itll be on the trailer I will try to swing by the dealer on monday with it and try another one and compare. The thing is i NEVER noticed it before. It may be normal, but i just dont remember it feeling that way. I remember it allways being smooth all the time. This is how i noticed it. I drove into a pile of dirt wanting to scoop it up and the rear tire spun, so i put it in 4x4 and drove into it. Then when backing up and turning is when the first time i notcied it. I have done this same exact thing before and never noticed it.
