HELP: FEL stuck in float

[mvanston]

Hi everyone,

I got a new BX25 and was doing some work, with the FEL and BH, after using the BH I went to use the FEL but there is no pressure going to it, it feels like it is stuck in float mode, at least thats what I am assuming, I checked the hydraulic lines, amount of fluid, joystick is working fine, what am I missing? I cant imagine anything is busted, I've only used it for about 10 hrs.

did you remove the backhoe? did you reconnect the hydraulic line??? make sure it didn't get disconnented weather you messed with it or not. & make sure the the loader quick connections are hooked up.

no I didnt, looked at all the lines and they are connected, I'm stumped.

I would also make sure the 3pt lever is not stuck in the up position? and that none of the backhoe levers are stuck dead heading the pump? Try hooking and unhooking the backhoe lines. Does the lever feel like it is hooked up? Is the backhoe still working? is the power steering working? I would still bet on a quick connector not hooked up all the way.

BH is working fine, let me go and check out your other suggestions, thx.

thx, one of the BH levers was "stuck" and sucking all power from the pump, so working fine now, thx for the help you are a lifesaver.

The easy fix is sometimes the hardest to find.
