    Generic Power Beyond Questions

    I had to edit this because something in this doesn't make sense. I'm going to set this aside for the moment to avoid confusion.

    Generic Power Beyond Questions

    Thank you Dan, I appreciate you taking the time to type all that out. First, very specific. Shouldn't the PB port always be open, allowing flow/pressure to the next valve? From what I put in bold that sounds more like a diverter valve than a PB valve?

    Generic Power Beyond Questions

    I understand how hydraulics work in general (I deal with them here and there in the work I do). What I have zero experience with is Tractor hydraulics and terminology. This isn't for a specific project or reason, I just want to be able to understand how this all works. First questions are about...

    Is There An Advantage To Getting A Factory Third Function?

    Not sure what's up with the crossed out lines?

    Is There An Advantage To Getting A Factory Third Function?

    My understanding is Land Pride is owned by Kubota and is basically OEM? I have lots of experience wrenching in general, just never on tractors. The only thing I'm murky on is the power beyond. I think I understand what it is in general (you're basically adding another "circuit" in parallel with...

    Raising Tractor With Stabilizers For Backhoe

    I saw a small discussion in one of the threads about how high to raise the tractor with the rear stabilizers when using the backhoe. I happened to find this while going through my owners manual; couldn't find the thread, so here.

    How Much Fluid Will I Need To Add A Third Function And Attachment?

    Alright thanks. Many years ago I worked on tanks (M1A1, Hurcules, AVLB), they had gallons and gallons of hyd. fluid. So I'm trying to adjust to this tiny little thing. It looks like the HST fluid is supposed to be changed for the 50 hour service anyways. I'm already past 30 hours; I may just...

    How Much Fluid Will I Need To Add A Third Function And Attachment?

    Has anyone tried this? https://www.amsoil.com/p/synthetic-tractor-hydraulic-transmission-oil-sae-5w-30-ath/?code=ATHQT-EA#pills-home_2 I generally run Amsoil because I do lots of miles between oil change intervals. I wouldn't spend it if I was changing the oil often.

    How Much Fluid Will I Need To Add A Third Function And Attachment?

    Adding a Land Pride third function and front mounted auger on my BX23S. Anyone know how much fluid I'll need? I didn't see anything in the paperwork on either. I'm guessing like 2 qts? Maybe 3? The auger housing is roughly the size of a large coffee can (Land Pride SA10). Does the Kubota oil...

    Mechanical Thumb Question

    I wasn't very impressed with my BX mechanical thumb the one time I've tried it so far. Trying to pick up a section of foundation wall out of the hole, thumb/bucket kept slipping off. I ended up having to turn around and fight it into the loader and move it that way. What doesn't on these things?

    BX2380 PTO disengaged and won’t re-engage

    Well WTF. This shouldn't be a common problem on these. That's shoddy assembly. Not what I was expecting from Kubota.

    For New Hampshire Members

    Well, the bucket is just a temporary attachment. Not permanent. Even the loader arms are just an attachment for most tractors, unless you have something very large? Basically it's a tractor with the ability to carry front implements. You may want to clarify that with them. Get pallet forks or...

    Got Some New Shoes For The Backhoe

    Got the Kubota rubber feet for the backhoe stabilizers. Haven't tried them out yet. May be a little bit, though I need to make sure they fit. Funny story; before I got these at the Kubota dealer I did some internet searching and called around. Couldn't get ahold of some places. Others didn't...

    Post Hole Auger, Once Piece At A Time

    Picked up the second part of my post hole auger. Doing it in pieces so it's a little easier on the wallet. First piece was my pallet forks. This mounts to it. Saved $300 this way (SA10 with the SSQA mount is $800 more but I could have had it with a $500 discount when I bought the tractor.)...

    BX23S can't lift front bucket loaded with gravel

    You also have a pin on bucket. SSQA is like 80lbs I believe?
