Thanks Dan. I don't know how to adjust the tractor relief setting yet, but I think I'll leave it alone for now rather than risk leaks past old seals. 1800 psi instead of 2060 psi drops the lift capacity from 400 to 350 pounds. I'll look at the relief setting if this causes a problem. When...

Any idea why the relief pressure would be specified at 1450 psi in the B1630 loader manual ? Was there something different about this setup that meant this pressure didn't affect the 3PL pressure ? Just curious.

Only because the specified relief setting for the loader in the B1630/1640/1640A loader manual is 1450 psi when fitted to the B7200HSTD. Would you suggest leaving it at or a little higher than the tractor relief setting ?

Thanks Hugo

I fitted the temp sensor into a new bush today that got the sensor further out of the bush into the water. The Bush is a M16 x 1.5 - 1/8 NPT. After mowing for about an hour the temperature was steady at 64 deg C (147 deg F). Before changing the bush it sat at 60 deg C, so not much difference...

More pressures and power beyond now works. The fitting for the power beyond port of the loader valve arrived, and the power beyond function now works to supply the 3 point hydraulics. It screwed into the power beyond port and the existing fitting screwed into it. With this now working I...

Thanks. I don't have anything on the back of the tractor yet, and hasn't considered it's effect on reducing steering effort.

Thanks Dan

Picked up some fittings today and made a start on checking pressures this evening. I was interested to see that the engine was quite sluggish to turn over and wouldn't start with the pressure gauge connected to the pressure supply port of the hydraulic block and the hydraulic block valve set to...

Now that I've driven the tractor (B7200HSTD) with the loader attached I've noticed a pretty decent increase in steering effort. And that's with only the loader arms and SSQA adaptor, no bucket, no additional load. The front tyres are already at the max pressure. The steering is also really...

Thanks Hugo. I agree - just haven't needed it yet.

Thanks Dan. I have a 3500 psi gauge, currently connected to the spare inlet port on the loader valve. I'll need some different fittings to move it around - interested to see what it shows.

Thanks Hugo. Haven't been able to find any front axle load rating data in the operators manual. I don't have a workshop manual.

Many thanks yet again Dan. When you say outlet block, are you referring to the right hand port labelled 3 in the attached pic ? With a gauge connected here, does it matter that there will be no flow, or is that taken care of by the relief setup on the hydraulic block ? I guess that's the point...

What limits loader lift capacity ? Let's start with sufficient ballast and flat ground....I'm interested in what limits the lift capacity of the loader. In the Kubota manual the B7200 is rated at 600 lb. Is this likely to be limited by: - Construction of the loader arms and supports -...
