    Underpowered 3901 Tractor with BH77 Backhoe (or design flaw)??

    Dealer installed mine with return pressure from BH going to power beyond port directly on the block under floorboard (left most connection). If yours isn’t, you might have backpressue.

    wallenstein bx52s on L3301

    I got L3301 and wallenstein bx52s (5 inch chipper that requires ‘22 to 55 engine hp’ per the specs. When I bought it, dealer said it’s a bit big for the machine and I wont be able to handle 5 inch. The tractor is in the range as per manufacture and I wanted to oversize just in case I upgraded to...

    Underpowered 3901 Tractor with BH77 Backhoe (or design flaw)??

    Also have them check hydraulic pressure. They’re all low from factory and can be adjusted up.

    Underpowered 3901 Tractor with BH77 Backhoe (or design flaw)??

    I have l3301 with BH77, third function, and 2 rear remotes. Backhoe easily overpowers the tractor. 2 functions are easy and quick. Can do 3, but it really slows down plus that’s not easy and takes lots of skill/practice. Now that I’m familiar with it, I’m doing WOT and can go pretty quick...

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    Yea I will agree unloading 1000 LB skid from truck is about max it can do. I haven't tried more than that... I'm talking about sacks of sand or aggregate from Lowes. I haven't tried to unload 1500 LB from a truck, but pretty sure it wont be able to do it. In my mind 1000 LB is a the limit from a...

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    Sorry think either something wrong with your tractor or you’re trying with no ballast…was thinking I could make a video to prove it, but here is video from messecks showing nearly 2k lb 3-4 foot up when 100% ballast.

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    What ballast was on your tractor when you tried? Makes a big difference. With backhoe, it’s is easy for me to unload off truck bed 1000lb skid +350 forks. Maybe have your hydraulic pressure checked…mine was really low from factory and dealer bumped it spec prior to delivery. Lower that weight...

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    Went back and checked. My L3301 was actually 19500 tractor + 5000 loader + 8000 backhoe. So actually about 33k. That doesn’t include tax, third function, remotes, any other attachments or insurance. After all that stuff, mine was ~40k or ~500 per month after 0% financing deal.

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    Also my farmer neighbor moves hay bales with his old L3301 all the time. Just a few days ago I saw his on the road using moving one with rear bale spear.

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    Tractor weighs almost 4k with filled r4 tires and loader. Then with something on 3PT (or just ballast box) or backhoe, you add nearly 1k. Plus fuel and operator, it’s 5k LBs. Base tractor with NOTHING on it (including loader) and ag tires is less than 3k… After loader and backhoe, it’s almost...

    Can a L2501 Lift a 1200lb large bale 6 inches off of the ground.

    Lots of 'theory talk' on forums... I don't move round bales, but from my practical experience using pallet forks (48 inch wooden pallet loaded evenly), my L3301 CAN move ~2000 LB of material off the ground some inches. Around this amount of weight, the curl function loses steam, so you must...

    Kubota Electric Tractor Survey

    I work in IT and can say even the best electronic hardware in the world is prone to failure. Everything is designed to be redundant expecting it to fail at a certain point. There are studies showing the average life span and stuff just starts failing like a clock 3-5 years later, requiring...

    BH77 Hydraulic Concerns

    Oh ok so in that case I got it backwards... so on mine the loop is loader > third function > remotes > backhoe. No idea where the 3 point is as I don't see any of these hoses. The upper left port hose goes to backhoe (as a return).

    BH77 Hydraulic Concerns

    I'm confused... is the power beyond port IN or OUT (far left side looking at the block under the floor board, under the loader joystick side). This port goes straight to my backhoe and then if I disconnect backhoe, I connect a loop.

    BH77 Hydraulic Concerns

    It's not a theory or a 'would be.' Dealer set it up just like this and it works fine. Once you get backhoe, remotes, and third function, it's not a standard L3301 with just loader...you must change stuff around to make it work. I specifically wanted them to do it so I wouldn't have to figure it...

    Maybe can see use-case for 'baby tractors' used in suburban areas. Basically a large mower with a bucket for the home owner. Battery would probably last 2-3 hours and it wont be that powerful, but perhaps enough.

    Kubota Electric Tractor Survey

    I think an electric tractor could have some advantages, but the problem is batteries are not very compact. The extra weight would be good on a tractor, but I don't think there will be enough space to have decent range. Electric motors/battery packs perform poorly with high load/stress, so the...

    BH77 Hydraulic Concerns

    This is confusing so for me it's: Power beyond: backhoe > remotes > grapple Loader and 3 point is separate and T'd off.
