Dave, I had EXACTLY the same problem with my B2601 as you show here!!! In fact, I watched your video trying to find the reason why my tractor was doing the same thing. I tried everything to fix it. I finally had to bring a technician over to my island on a water taxi and he finally figured out what the problem was. It turned out to be a bad/clogged fitting/coupler in the hydraulic line going back to the backhoe. The backhoe, you say?? Yes…and it’s because the line actually routes through the third function unit and back through the backhoe before it returns upfront. Check out your couplers back at the backhoe and see if that solves the problem. It sure did for me! Literally, the EXACT same problem and frustration. Reach out to me if you want to discuss with me privately. Rob
I have seen this problem before. It was faulty couplers coming from the loader. Some times they would force the Coupler apart enough to close the Coupler and block the oil. Hope this helps.
I’m having the same issue with a B4701 tractor. It freezes when trying to lift a load. Took it to the dealership a few days ago. Will let you know the outcome.
I've had the same thing happen and I think there is something to do with a priority valve. Mine was caused by having the 3-point lever all the way in the up position and it was like it was never fully getting to position 9. All I had to do was move the 3-point lever to 8.5 and then instantly the loader worked again.
I wish we lived closer, we could swap loaders only takes a few minutes. I would fix it you can have problems with anything. I have b2301 with same loader and 3rd valve and it’s buttery smooth
Try pushing the lever to the R2 position, by pushing the control to the right and further until you hit the next click. It is my understanding this equalizes and puts oil on both of the sides of the hydraulic piston and it should work then. Watching your video, when you push the control lever to the R2 position, the bucket worked correctly after that. I understand sometimes going up and down quickly you may not have the oil on the back-side of the cylinder. I had a similar problem with my 2601 with the third-function which ties to the main controller. Sometimes the grapple was real slow closing. Found out from the service man I purchased it from, click the control lever to R2 and then try the 3rd again, and the claw closes normally. You're moving a lot of fluid quickly for a small tractor (we all do it). Try it, I hope it helps.
I had the same problem on My B2320 kubota,it was the disconnect. The valve has a pin that allows the hydraulic oil to flow that turned and stopped the flow
Well im from the automotive side of things and typically when something like this happens you have to trace everything that has to do with the loader like switches maybe the way the lever is making contact with the switch might loose or not making good contact. As if something is loose or not lined up properly. Do a pressure check to see if the system isn't running at specific pressures etc. Hope you get it fixed. I really want this exact tractor you have.
Sorry you're having trouble with you're not loader. I have 21 Mahindra 1626 mine was hanging when dumping bucket I pulled boot off shifter checked bolts one was super tight other 3 wasn't loosened one up worked great have 275 hours on it now. The thing that's got me is if you grab lower on stick it works it may be a little loose. Know you love the tractor I get that if they don't get it fixed the 1626 Mahindra is a work horse and does really good on fuel just option I love mine and have tried other tractors that won't work with it. But you do have a sweet tractor. Good luck hopefully the big dog will fix it. Thanks for sharing be safe
I'm thonkong it works be in your controller at the handle. One of the buttons is shorting. It is telling solenoid that a button is being pressed, therefore bypassing the valve. When you pull back on just the stick (lower down), you're not pulling on that handle - therefore, it's not making that contact, causing this. Did you ever get this figured out? What was your resolve?
Hi. I have a 2021 B2601 with the LA435 loader. My loader does the exact same thing! I have 50 hours on the machine with about half that on the loader. I am going to do the 50 hour service at the dealership and will address the problem then. Also, one of the loader stand brackets is welded on about 15 degrees off square. This throws the stand function completely off. I am going to see how Kubota warranty supports these issues.
Interested if you've got a photo or video of that welding issue because I've got a 2021 B2301 with the same loader and I suspect it might have the same issue - I've never been able to get the kickstand to drop, but I haven't bothered chasing it down further with the dealer because I rarely need to pull the loader off of the tractor (as in, I haven't pulled it off yet, though it would've been nice for the 50-hour)
Reading the other comments in-depth, my 3pt would not rise/lift either and hence the mower deck was stuck in the full down position until the main return quick disconnect fitting was replaced. Full operation restored!
Interesting. You would think my dealer would try some things but they didn’t. Just said it was they way I was using the 3rd function and loader control. Time to find a new dealer.
On my B2320, I can have a similar problem if the lockout lever for the loader becomes partially engaged. Mage sure it is all the way off or all the way on. Hope this might help.
I have the BX2680 with the same 3rd function handle and I have found that I cannot operate the tractor with mittens. It doesn't seem to matter how careful i am, the mittens inadvertenly hit the buttons. With gloves I don't have a problem.
Do you think you could be hitting the third function buttons diverting flow? The buttons are located on the front of your stick and does it when lifting but not if you move your hand lower on the stick. If you are certain you arent touching the buttons I would say it is something loose, bent or possible the lock out pin in the vale block.
Yes, this is defiantly something that will stop the loader. If you hit those buttons during a lift, the loader will stop dead. I think there is more too my issue though but my dealer is not going to make any changes. They also mention this button issue. I am pretty frustrated.
Had to replace my hydraulic quick connect assembly. The whole aluminum box where all the lines connect. Mine was doing the same thing but was resolved with that one part on a BX23 2001 model
To rule out 3rd function issue whether it be sensitive button or short in the wiring, pull fuse coming from + side of battery that was added with the Land Pride 3Rd function kit, this will disable buttons and 3rd functions kit. If problem goes away its with buttons or wiring for 3rd function kit.
We’re you able to fix your loader………if not, hook up to to another loader at your dealer (same model #). That might direct you to loader verses controller issues. Good luck brother
We have tried many things and it still sticks from time to time. I am now hearing some other B2601 owners complaining about the loader smoothness. In the grand scheme, this is a lower priced machine so I guess I can't expect it to be perfect. At the end of the day, the B2601 always gets the work done. Just a little annoying at times.
Could it be an issue with the 3rd function? Maybe it’s engaging on its own and taking flow away to the other functions. Maybe try disabling the 3rd function and seeing if that helps. I have a B2650 and haven’t experienced that problem.
Agree. This seems to be the likely place to focus on. Dealer said they did some test but couldn't repeat the issue. Its so random and they just don't have time to run it all day to find the problem. I am going to unplug the 3rd function and see if the problem goes away. This should tell me if its the loader verses the 3rd function per another comment suggestion made.
Same tractor with FEL and third function, one additional rear power port, backhoe, mid-mount mower, 55" commercial snow blower, 48 hours. During last mow of the season (FEL and backhoe removed) tractor became sluggish and engine temp climbed. I let it cool and restarted fine. Attached FEL and it would not lift. Not even enough to stow the stand nor disconnect. Field technician called. Master hydraulic return quick disconnect valve on rear had failed. We cannibalized same quick disconnect fitting off of backhoe and everything worked perfectly. Kubota warranty. Also, all four FEL quick tach valves were leaking and making a horrible mess. Kubota knows this historical problem and has a lifetime replacement campaign and redesigned valves. All four were replaced under warranty. Field tech said they cost about $180 each when I enquired about making four deadheads to stop leaking when FEL is not attached. Fingers crossed that the leaks do not reappear when the mower deck is back on for next summer. Configured for snow now!
I have heard about these swiftach issues from others. If I trade in, my next tractor won't have that feature. I never remove the loader and just complicates things. Good luck on the fix.
I have similiar problem (don't have third function on fel control stick). Will curl but no up more than 6" or 150mm ish. Three point won't raise. FEL will raise if I curl at same time. Once bucket is fully curled it stops raising. I had to un curl then curl and raise again. This is how I got the tractor back to house. Had to disconnect and leave the three point wood chipper as I couldn't lift it.
I would set up a glow dial and put it on the lift and lower circuits. This should give you a base line to know if it is before or after the valve block. Also look and see if the loader stick is loose.
They sold me as "self levelling" but it really only stops the bucket from going too far back and dumping load on the bonnet. My dealer didn't hook it on right. Big dent in bull bar safety piece on second week. So strange to call it self levelling when grading bucket angle) I wish. (I'd would love to be wrong)
I have some interesting news on this loader issue. I just purchased a kubota l3560le with the 805 loader. I have found that the loader doesn’t go up when 3rd function is activated in the downward stroke of my grapple. I believe they piggy back the up function with 3rd function and it is actually ahead of the loader scvs. I believe this is a common quirk among all brands.
Looks like there may be a short in your 3rd function lever onthe top of the joy stick. Put your grapple on and see if it functions when the problem happens
Wild that your dealer didnt do anything to fix it...or even try. I would have dropped it off and told them they can pay the loan it till they get it fixed.
The dealer should change the hydraulic valve to eliminate that section. It could be a spool valve inside thats causing the issue or at least take it apart and inspect the spools inside make sure that one is not snapped and intermittently making contact with the lever.
I agree I think it’s the third function cutting off the flow to the raise function. Pull the 3rd function fuse (in line fuse off the battery likely). If it goes away…your either hitting the buttons accidentally (particularly with gloves on) or there is a short in that button housing. My loader (b2301) was ‘freezing’ one day while using the grapple. Then the light bulb went off I was hitting the buttons while pulling back on the stick. I ain’t the sharpest knife. 🙄
Very possible. That definitely stop the loader if you hit a button by mistake. That is very repeatable. However, I can make this happen sometime if I pull back at an angle or even straight an not on the buttons. Hard to figure this one out.
If the loader is not self levelling it will have a device fitted to prevent you from raising the loader with the bucket rolled back and Potentially having the load come over the back of the bucket onto the front of the machine. I had a Case compact tractor that did exactly the same as your tractor.
I really hate to disagree with you my Kubota that I have now and the one before it did not have a self-leveling bucket had no issues like this every Kubota I have ever seen never had an issue like this without a self-leveling bucket
I have a B2601 with the LA 435 as well. I do not have that problem, plus the stick and controls for the loader work buttery smooth no matter what the engine RPM is. I also love the tractor, but your issues is just not acceptable! Does your grapple act up ? Good luck figuring it out Cheers!
I hope we can figure this out. Dealership was not able to make any changes. Pretty frustrated. Might just trade it in and take the financial hit. Not sure what to do.
Could be that you're not getting enough travel in your joystick.... After watching you grab it lower but who knows... I'm still thinking pressure release valve seems to be bypassing
Yes, Hydro fluid is topped off. I think its just a glitchy valve or a design flaw. Not seeing others with this problem so I think its just this loader.
When pulling your handle, the two buttons facing front is being pushed together. You proved it by lowering your hand down the stick .fix turn the buttons to thumb positioning
I have a B2601 with a third function valve and it works good and doesn’t have that issue. The Kubota dealer should be able to fix it. If not, they don’t know what they are doing.
I'm not positive, but I bet the Lemon Law would cover you. I know you would rather have it fixed, but the warranty is only as good as the dealer. Have you tried reaching out to some of the BIG Kubota dealerships around the country? Their service departments might offer some good advice. You might need to try getting warranty repair at another neighboring Kubota dealership. I hate intermittent issues like that. Good luck!
I did call Kubota directly and they sent me to a dealership. My dealership was no help. They Showed me some things about the third function but ultimately did nothing to actually it. So it’s trade, live with it or try another dealer. I tried years ago to get the lemon law to cover a car. Didn’t go well. Very frustrating.
@@timbertimeoutdoors9836 Did you call Kubota back and tell them what happened after you went back? I have a success lemon law story myself. When you get resistance from a dealer or manufacturer like that, you must stay persistent. I sold cars for 15 years, trust me, the squeaky wheel WILL get the grease when enough noise is made. Don't let up. Good luck Brother.
Yes, I have rotated the buttons so I hit them less. It has helped but I am still a little disappointed in the lack of smoothness with a heavy load. It sill acts up from time to time too.
My B2301 did this until I realized after I removed my backhoe that I did not connect the yellow hydraulic line back in to the red line to complete the loop
My dealership showed me somethings that I will be making a video on that could be the problem. We aren't actually sure what is wrong though and they didn't replace anything. Hydraulics don't always work like you think they will and this information will be good for others to see as this is not intuitive how these loaders actually work.
Just starting to watch, haven't got to end. My 2601 will curl but loader nor three point will rise. Loader WILL rise if i curl and lift at same time. No three point. I now watch and read in anticipation.
@@timbertimeoutdoors9836 Yup fixed mine. The hydraulic (yellow tractor side) connector when I detached my backhoe became faulty shortly but not immediately after I plugged in back into the tractor loop (worked on back hoe day prev) I swapped it with one from the disconnected backhoe and voila the FEL worked properly agina. now just have to get a replacement for where I stole it from my Backhoe. I noticed the inner pin was no longer centered but to one side. When not working I could only raise the FEL if I was curling the bucket at the same time. Cheers for the great videos.
Yep. I will be getting a Cab Tractor in a couple years and won't be buying from them. That dealer is in big farm country and they seem to focus on the big machines.
My Dad had a mid 90's B20 Kubota that did the same exact thing, never did figure out why, ended up selling the tractor. but it was all mechanical/hydrolic.

Yes, bucket is level when this issue happens. It not the buck dead head issue that can happen on all loaders.

When you get resistance from a dealer or manufacturer like that, you must stay persistent. I sold cars for 15 years, trust me, the squeaky wheel WILL get the grease when enough noise is made. Don't let up. Good luck Brother.
Mine does the same thing. But I figured out i was accidentally pushing the 3rd function button
Yes, I have rotated the buttons so I hit them less. It has helped but I am still a little disappointed in the lack of smoothness with a heavy load. It sill acts up from time to time too.
Oh yea."dangeling fingers" WILL DO IT( WRONG) EVERY TIME.
My B2301 did this until I realized after I removed my backhoe that I did not connect the yellow hydraulic line back in to the red line to complete the loop
My dealership showed me somethings that I will be making a video on that could be the problem. We aren't actually sure what is wrong though and they didn't replace anything. Hydraulics don't always work like you think they will and this information will be good for others to see as this is not intuitive how these loaders actually work.
I double checked mine. I didn't do it but you can hook blue to yellow by mistake.
@@dmaifred I will check that
thanks....
Just starting to watch, haven't got to end. My 2601 will curl but loader nor three point will rise. Loader WILL rise if i curl and lift at same time. No three point. I now watch and read in anticipation.
I did a follow up video. helps explain some issues but mine was not fixed.
@@timbertimeoutdoors9836 Yup fixed mine. The hydraulic (yellow tractor side) connector when I detached my backhoe became faulty shortly but not immediately after I plugged in back into the tractor loop (worked on back hoe day prev) I swapped it with one from the disconnected backhoe and voila the FEL worked properly agina. now just have to get a replacement for where I stole it from my Backhoe. I noticed the inner pin was no longer centered but to one side. When not working I could only raise the FEL if I was curling the bucket at the same time. Cheers for the great videos.
If the technician at your dealer cannot figure it out they probably should look for another career
Yep. I will be getting a Cab Tractor in a couple years and won't be buying from them. That dealer is in big farm country and they seem to focus on the big machines.
Oops sorry sent without saying these safety devices are problematic! And display the symptoms you have shown.
Load still isn't fixed. Very frustrated here.
Trade it on a Deere?
But it's okay now
too much talk, get to it
All I can say is John Deere R models
I can't get passed the green color. Hahaha
My Dad had a mid 90's B20 Kubota that did the same exact thing, never did figure out why, ended up selling the tractor. but it was all mechanical/hydrolic.
I really wish it worked better. Tractor is just perfect size for my usage and property.
