Kubota B6000 Aux Hydraulics

[North Idaho Wolfman]

Easier to cut the pressure line in half and install hose fitings for a pressure takeoff and power beyond return.

EDIT:

Looks like a B6000 has a factory hydraulic outlet block in the pressure line

Some do and some don't have the block.
I don't think the gray model B6000's had it.

That would be great if he did have the block, he could get a plate from Torch and use that.

If not a tubing cutter and two compression fittings accomplishes the same thing.

Send a PM to @Mountainman and ask him if a cover off a B7100 will fit a B6000, if it will the b7100 cover has a valve built in that directs the fluid different directions, either Aux or 3 point.

Yes the standard cylinder cap is the same between b6000 and b7100 so you could put a valve cap from a b7100 on a b6000

 

[Mountainman]

Has anyone figured how to modify the cylinder cover to allow hydraulic pressure to go to auxiliary?

You can swap the cap from a b7100 that has a valve. I have a few if you need one

I don't have the block, the bottom line is the pressure

is the bottom line the pressure line? I may just tap into it.

That last post is too munged to use the REPLY option

If the tractor has an outlet block use it. You will need the OEM conversion cover for connecting the hoses.

If it does not have an outlet block cut the pressure line and add two compression fittings for connecting the hoses.

Sorry about that, not sure what happened. I attached a picture of my pump. So I would go about cutting the bottom line and use compression fittings to tie in a loop to my control valve?

Thats the idea but theres probably a better location further to the rear. Keep in mind the tube is probably metric.

Thanks for the heads up I will grab my vernier to check the tubing od. Would there be a pros/con to using a tee fitting vs going from the pressure line to the control valve and back to the pressure line from the power beyond port?

Yes, there is a very big con - it simply wont work. You need three individual hose connections.:

1. Pump side of pressure line to P port on valve
2. PB port on valve back to other side of pressure line
3. T port on valve to tractor sump - commonly via the filler cap

I would expect there is a selector of some sort. On the old Fords you had to chain the lift arms down - not very convenient.

On the B7100, one has to chain the lift arms up when using the under-seat diverter valve. At least, if a 3ph implement is installed.

If his B6000 does in fact have the hydraulic block, then there's a good chance it is the same size as the later B7100. But it's equally possible that some years did not.

Yes bottom line is pressure

Also please look through the first post of this thread for an idea on how Kubota started allowing a better access to the tractor’s hydraulic flow. It basically takes the full hydraulic pump output and diverts it to the valve or implement and allows it to return to the tractor. Usually the valve (or the implement itself would have a valve) would be a control valve with outlets and a power beyond sleeve that return the hydraulic fluid to the tractor to power the three point hitch. The valve and the outlets are used to control the flow to the implement if it doesn’t have its own valve.

I just realized I didn’t get the link to the thead in this previous comment - so here it is. It explains the flow path on the tractor pressure line in post #1 (using a block but your flow path is the same)

Except that diagram does not show a control vakve with inlet pressure relief, and separate power beyond and tank returns which is what you would need.
