Kubota bx2660 tractor drifting

[jkrey]

All,

I have a 2011 kubota bx2660 with hydrostatic transmission with 145hrs. I have just bought this used. I have noticed when I release either the forward pedal or reverse pedal the tractor still contiue's to move (very slowly). It stops a couple of seconds later. Is there a problem with my trasmission or is this normal? I have also noticed it gets better as the time progresses. any suggestions if this is not normal?

Lubricate the foot pedal. It should come back to center when released which will stop the tractor.

What John said, these things are designed not to stop too suddenly when you take your foot off the pedal, so it won't stop immediately, but it sounds s though your pedal need lubrication, there is a tab in the floor pad to access the zerk. Some people use a thinner grease, but I use the same on it as everywhere else.

When I saw the topic title, I thought smokey burnouts on a tractor...I must investigate. I was disappointed:laughing:

thanks for all suggestions. I cleaned all area's of foot pedal assembly with parts cleaner and then greased zerk. Does seem a little better but am still concerned something not right? Doesn't seem natural to stop tractor in tight area with pushing the other foot pedal?

Without actually seeing it in action, it is not possible to tell if it is within normal parameters. My wife did not initially like the BX2660 as it did not stop as quickly upon releasing the HST pedal as the BX2200, but now prefers the slower stops.

Kubota got a lot of complaints on the BXxx50 due to abrupt stopping and modified it on the BXxx60.

I don't have enough bandwidth to post a video of ours, but if you do maybe we can tell if it is working as designed.

Now that would indeed be something to see!

Had a BX2200 and loved it, had a BX2350 and hated it for the abrupt stop in reverse and traded for the BX2660 and as you I noticed it did seem to stop less quickly as the BX2200 and the BX2350. In other words, same results as you've had. Believe it is operating normally if it stops.

I'd get under the tractor and crank the nut a few turns on the return spring. It might not be enough since you greased the zerk already . Did you use heavy duty grease or light duty grease? I use the cheap light stuff for the HST and heavy duty for FEL and everything else.

There is a adjustment that is supposed to be done at 100hrs to the pedal return. I asked once about it but nobody on here knew. I need to find out how to do it, it won't be long before I hit 100hrs. I am not sure if kubota has a specification for the return time of the pedal.
