    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    I know it has been a while, but my problem persists. I am uncomfortably living with it. The local dealer has not been much help (that is another story). The thing that bothers me most is that the engine does not bog whatsoever when trying to climb a grade (low or high grade). I have NEVER seen...

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    Full throttle. I seem to need full throttle to get up any kind of forward (or reverse) performance. She barley moves at mid throttle. Symptom? Or normal? I do not know how to define "climbs fine", but I would sure think I should be able to climb the grades I am trying to climb without simply...

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    HST nut was checked early on. All linkage checked... looks good. Do you have a BX25? At what grade will yours decide to stop climbing? I am not trying to climb mountains, but it is unable to get up a hillside that I think should be a piece of cake.

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    I realize that this post is over a year old, but I am still experiencing the same problem. Or is this all the BX25 can do as far as hill climbing? Am I expecting too much in terms of hill climbing? Let me ask this question of BX25 owners. I am not sure how to ask this question since it is...

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    I am in high gear. Owners manual says 8.1MPH in high gear. So the question is, why can I only get 5.5MPH and why my perception of not much HST power? Forward speed slows on slightest incline.

    Status: - HST pedal Zerk fitting greased - no change - HST pedal damper checked/adjusted - The damper was set to max dampen. I set completely to the other end, minimum dampen, with high hopes. The pedal returns to neutral faster, but still pretty unacceptable. - HST return spring adjusted...

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    First off, I am impressed with all the swift posts of ideas and suggestions for me. WOW. Thank you all for taking the time! Here are my next steps... hopefully today... based on all of your feedback: - Grease the zerk fitting on the HST pedal and see if that speeds up pedal return-to-neutral...

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    jkcolo22- Thanks for our reply. The YouTube link takes me to the "missing linkage nut" problem. I was really hoping that was my problem, but the HST linkage has been inspected and appears AOK. The engine tries to get the tractor moving up hill when I crush the forward pedal (high gear). The...

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    Greeting- I purchased a used BX25D a few weeks back. 330 hours. The implements work great at partial and full RPM. However the forward speed is slow... maybe 4-5 MPH. I think the reverse speed is also slow, but I don't have a good frame of reference as to what it should be. At partial RPM, you...
