Kubota B3200 bucket curl problem.

ruralruss · Jun 17, 2013

My B3200 is 4 years old and yesterday I ran into a problem. I was moving a lot of dirt and and my curl control starting sticking. Up and down on the lift is fine but when I go to the right or left the controller stays there unless I move it back. It also is much more difficult to push side to side. Anybody got any suggestions? I am very mechanically inclined but I have never done work on hydraulics.

Thanks

Look at the linkage between the joystick and the valve. I suspect there is a mechanical bind some where.

You might look under the lower (detent/return spring) caps and check for rust...the caps will often collect condensation and a little rust can cause the return spring washers to bind...
