FEL Drops When Disconnecting What Is the Problem?

Re: FEL Drops When Disconnecting What Is the Probl

I don't know if all of the kubota manuals read the same, but the B2410 says to lower the loader to the ground (after setting the feet), then roll the bucket to lift the front wheels off the ground. You can then remove the top pins. You then curl the bucket slowly and the front comes down and the loader arms unhook. You then unclip and back away. I have done it 5 or 6 times now and it works every time, so I am frankly at a loss to understand what might be wrong here.

If the support arms are on the floor and the bucket is level on the floor, it is physically impossible for the loader arms to drop back onto the supports. In this position the weight of the loader is exerting little to no pressure on the hydraulics and therefore when moving the joystick to relieve pressure very little movement should occur. I would recommend carefully re-reading the loader removal instructions in the manual to ensure that you're not accidently misperforming a step.

I have a BX22 and I must say the manual leaves a lot to be desired...especially the sections on mounting and removing the FEL and BH....it's very frustrating. I've seen far better written and illustrated manuals with more detailed information for products as uncomplicated as a lawn mower. Kubota needs to address this...especially with their BX tractors which are aimed at the tractor newbie/residential buyer. A training video/CD would be very helpful...My Mantis cultivator even came with a training video.
