BX23S hydraulic issue

[Louie D]

Help me.
I have a BX23S since February 2023 and I have put 93.6 hrs on her,
I was excavating 34 pine stumps a and pulled a fairly large one out using the back hoe and a chain once out of the pit I drug the stump about 45 feet. The tractor will not go any direction when I press the petals the BH works the Loader works the tractor just won't go fwd or reverse. I see fluid on the stick and the linkage is attached and moving and I have 6 more stumps to pull

When I said fluid on thr stick I ment dip stick. Almost all the stumps are doubled .
Can lifting heavy loads damage the hydraulic system?
If my tractor has low hydraulic fluid will tractor not move rwd and Rev, but the power steering, loader and back hoe still work?

Double check that you haven’t moved the range shifter out of H or L.

Yea that's not a hydraulic issue, that's a drive train issue.

This is most likely - your range selector bumped into neutral will give exactly those symptoms.

Beyond that, yes, you can get your hydraulic fluid low enough that the drive won't work even though the loader and 3ph are still working. Unusual, but I've had my drive sluggish when the loader still goes up and down. It's unusual for it to just entirely stop though - it'd drive slowly but still at least try. Range selector is more likely.

Are your tires filled with Rim Guard or something similar? Are the wheels spinning inside of tires and the tires are low on air, so there is no grip between the rim and the tire? Had that happen to me once, and then I learned how to prevent it by sanding the smooth bead that the tire contacts.

Check the linkage rod from the hydrostat pedal to the hydrostat. See if the nut fell off of the tie rod end where it connects to the hydro linkage. Its under the floor on the right hand side of the tractor, just inside the RH frame rail.
