    M4900 Hydraulic Problems. Power steering, PTO are OK. Everything else weak

    Same threads and connection point as the power beyond hose. Probably a female JIC-8 or -10 swivel. Dan

    M4900 Hydraulic Problems. Power steering, PTO are OK. Everything else weak

    I am sorry - got this thread confused with another so I would like to retract the relief valve comment Finding the problem should be straight forward. Start with pressure tests at the loader valve power beyond port. Remove the power bryond hose and connect the gauge to the power beyond port...

    The neutral circuit on ypur tractor is quite simple. Pump -> loader valve -> system relief valve -> remotes -> 3pt. I dont see anyway a stuck relief will give you the symptoms you have. Dan

    What is involved in installing a rear hydraulic to L2501f that came w/o hydraulics?

    The port under the seat is just a tank return. The OEM valve stack adapter plate uses it. The pressure return is via the blick under the floorboard. You can DIY dual remotes using a generic aftermarket valve for 1/4 the cost of OEM. Not as pretty as OEM but just as effective. Here's some food...

    Has anybody used one of these stump grinders?

    Its a knockoff of the Woodland Mills grinder. I have the Woodland Mills and it works great on my L3901. I dont think I would want one on a smaller tractor. On a good size stump it really bounces the L3901 around. Dan https://woodlandmills.com/wg-24-stump-grinder/

    What is involved in installing a rear hydraulic to L2501f that came w/o hydraulics?

    The hydraulic outlet is under the front right floor board. I thought you were planning on a DIY system. Your dealer will offer you a complete OEM remote kit including lever guide. First valve kit about $1000. Second and third valve an adfitional $800 each. You dont need or want a valve for a...

    What is involved in installing a rear hydraulic to L2501f that came w/o hydraulics?

    You need the OEM adapter plate for the hydraulic block (60 in the diagram) and the three orings (70). The rest is all standard hydraulic fittings and hose. You also need a comtrol valve with power beyond port for your rear outlets. Connect valve to adapter plate per description in owners...

    SA cylinders work fine with SA valves. Problems arise when you skirt the rules and try to use a DA valve to control a SA cylinder. Dan

    There is no split. The tractor has a tandem pump. One section is used for PS and the other for loader, remotes and 3pt. Sounds like something is blocking the implement circuit. Make sure your remotes are all in neutral. Dan

    L vs LX

    Just in case I was not clear. By "bigger L" I meant L3302 and up. If the dealer wont let you test drive his tractors say goodby. If you have been operating a BX the standard L will seem like you are sitting on a monster You get used to it fast..... Dan

    Dump the LX, get a bigger L, and skip the tuning drama. Dan

    Upgrading to a man's tractor Help

    Wanna bet? I think you will find that a minimum you will want a hydraulic top link. Plus many three point implements have hydraulic cylinders - hydraulic angle on a rske or blade for example. Now as to when, where, and how to add remotes or a third function. Factory option is easy and very...
