BX25 FEL Hydraulics Problem

[Reeko]

Long story short, was using the BX this weekend to do some back hoe work. Needed to reposition the tractor and flipped the seat around to find the FEL hydraulics basically stopped working. I increased the RPM up to 3500 and I could raise the bucket up very, very slowly but now can’t replicate it.

Here is what I have checked thus far.
BH and 3 point hydraulics work just fine.
Disconnected and reconnected FEL couplers
Confirmed No other drain on the hydraulic circuit at the same time.
Checked joy stick linkage
Checked hydraulic oil level

Everything seems normal from what I can tell. Any suggestions on what else to check before I try to load it up on the trailer and take to the dealer?

2016 BX25D, 118 hours, one owner with no previous problems

Thanks

Did you check the backhoe couplers? It sounds like the drain line is disconnected.

I hadn’t but just confirmed all three lines and no change.

I looked on the WSM for a BX23S and do not know if it would be the same as your machine.

From what I see, the backhoe valve feeds the FEL valve through a power beyond port.

I assume you must have three hoses between the tractor and backhoe.

Could one be in the wrong place? The backhoe valve's return line is trying to supply the loader valve instead of the PB port doing so.

Just a guess.
