Loader Kubota BX23S loader raises extremely slow sometimes not at all

[medic149]

Control valve was good. I neglected to say that I have a Kubota 3rd function valve. Now I am wondering if there is something going on with that valve. I'm going to need to pull the joystick and cover off to take a look under there to see if anything is loose. Used the tractor today and everything runs great except for the loader lift and curl. Backhoe and outriggers work fine and fast. Trying to rule out everything I can before I drain the hydraulic fluid $.

Does it have that 4 line connector for the hyd lines on the loader take it off clean it ,make sure its locked down correct ...

 

[medic149]

Yes. It has the 4 line connector. Removed it a couple of times wiped off.

...I have a Kubota 3rd function valve...

Any chance they used Teflon tape on the threads?? (grasping at straws, now....)

Switch coupler around. For example switch the curl connects to the loader lift arms and see what happens.

I've been grasping at straws for weeks! LOL I'll see if I can switch the coupler around.

Does the 3rd function valve work ?

 

[medic149]

3rd function valve does work, but even the grapple moves very slow.

Switching the quick connects around should confirm it is not the cylinders or the hoses leading to them, it will also take the third function out of the equation.

Well, no go on everything I've tried. Sent an email to the dealer to see if they can pick it up Stay tuned.....................
