Hello,
I have a 2015 BX 25 DLB with belly mower, backhoe and loader. I bought this new and have always maintained all service on time, as per the manual. Currently has 1200 hours on it. I have worked this tractor pretty hard since I purchased it new. I have pushed countless Cedar trees down, clearing roads, moving dirt, etc. Other than routine maintenance and replacing parts I broke pushing brush. I have only had to replace the rubber bushings on the front axle pivot as they began to leak, pivot bolts in the linkage of the HST and front-end loader and new seals on the bucket hydraulic cylinder. That being said, the tractor has lost power, when it comes to pushing things, trees dirt etc. If it were my truck I would say the clutch needs to be replaced. However out side of lawn tractors this is my first HST transmission and I have no idea of the principals on which it functions or how to repair it. I have already been through the linkage and replaced the linkage pivot bolts and adjusted the pedal travel and nothing has made a difference. When ever the tractor is set up to mow, (Just the belly mower on) it performs great! But when you begin to add implements and put it under a load, it loses power. (Engine still runs fine, just does not t want to go, like it used to. I am wondering if there is a clutch in the HST that needs to be replaced? The only part I see in the diagram at Messick's is for a PTO clutch. If anyone has any advice or knowledge on the subject, it would be a big help. Trying to decide whether I can fix it (Preferred)vor if it is time to buy a new one.
Thanks!
