I’ve got a B2650 with 110 hrs. I started it yesterday and let it warm up until 1 bar showed on the temp screen. When I went to raise the 3 point hitch it wouldn’t move the FEL moved fine. The hydraulic fluid was at the right level on the dip stick. I checked all my fluids before I started it. Finally after a few tries it did move. Slow but it did move. And worked fine the rest of the day. But it was slow in raising. I’m a new tractor owner so any help is appreciated.
I had the same issue come up all of a sudden while working with my B2650 in heavy brush. The 3-point stalled out while lifting, and the hydraulic fluid level was fine. It drove ok with no other symptoms so drove it home to diagnose the cause.
There was very little rise of the lift arms when the lever was operated. The arms descended normally when lowered. Couldn't find anything wrong! UNTIL I looked REAL close at the hose quick-connector on the tractor for the hydraulic line that is used for the backhoe hookup. I am guessing that a stick had bumped the quick-connect release ring JUST enough to release the hose male end slightly without the hose coming free of the connector. The connector lock ring was nudged back maybe 1/8" max and was quite hard to see being loose. I snapped the hose properly into place and the 3-point sprang back to life!
Was bigly worried that the 3-point or hydraulic pump system was screwed. Not a nice sensation.
All's good now! Keep an eye on that connector!
My photos show the properly connected and the loose quick connector. Kinda hard to see the difference, especially working out in the bush and trying to find out wtf is going on!
