In the US market synthetic vs mineral is a blurred distinction. Much of the 'synthetic" oil on the shelf is actually a highly refined mineral base oil. As far as SUDT vs UDT goes: SUDT has a slightly lower KV100 viscosity with a higher viscosity index (200 vs 140) which makes it a superior...

I dont own a ZTR but I think your question depends a lot on your budget. I see lots of commercial landscaping companies in our area and very few have anything green on their trailers. Red or yellow is probably the most popular color. Some brands sporting Kubota diesel engines. Orange seems...

I wonder what the UDT you get in NZ actually is. They dont sell SUDT in Canada and I am pretty sure it does get well beliw freezing there 🙃 Is it the same UDT formulation as sold in the US or is it the SUDT formulation with a different label? Its not like they cant find companies in NZ capable...

That is the circuit you want I would plumb outlets just like a backhoe. Mount the female quick connect on a rear bracket bolted to the frame or sheet metal and make the return hose long enough to loop around to it when the splitter is not connected. Pictire below is from the backhoe manual...

If the backhoe is attached there are two reliefs in that circuit. The main relief is in the pump outlet which I assume is the one you are shimming. There is another inlet relief just down stream of that in the backhoe control valve. How they might be interacting when you deadhead the loader is...

The WSM for the L3301 and L3901 are the same. There is a different WSM soecific to the L2501 which suggest some significant differences Dab

L3901 HST Z will start without depressing clutch. Changing speed ranges is done with the tractor motionless. Clutch is not required but sometimes it helps get the gears lined up. Same for 4WD changes. No first hand experience on an L2501. On the L3901 you can disengage the PTO without using...

Your loader valve has two "lower" positions. When you move the joystick forward to lower the boom you are in the down pressure position. If you push the joystick farther foward you will encounter a mechanical detent that can be overcome with a small amount of added effort. That will move the...

No need to disconnect anything. Put the loader valve in float and use a come-along or something similar to raise and hold the bucket off the ground. Move the valve back to neutral once its up and secured. Dan

Describe your test procedure in greater detail. Is your gauge in parallel or series and how many reliefs in the circuit under test? What action is used to generate max pressure? Dan

I would really like to buy some attachments from EA bit I am saving up for investments when FTX reopens.

After looking at some parts diagrams I am guessing thats a BF300A loader. Dollars to donuts the quick coupler on the KYB pipe is not fully connected and/or its defective and not flowing oil. Dan

If the power beyond return line (labeled KBY in your picture) is blocked you will get the exact symptoms and behavior you describe. Do those pipes have quick connects on them? Dan

Thats definitly not right. Most likely something on the valve end of those lines is improperly connected. Pictures of the loader valve and those connections. Dan

Based on your labels thats correct but thats not much to go on without seeing whats on the other end I have no idea what KYB signifies but I am assuming its shorthand of some dort for power beyond. So does everything work as it should? Dan

Posr a picture and get some help before you damage something by blindly moving hoses. Dan

By all means delete that useless piece of crap. The engine will run much better without it..... Dan

You are stuck on brand names and missing my point. The advantages/differences between the SUDT formulation and UDT and its third party counterparts was well documented by Kubota when they first rolled SUDT out in 1997. The red highlighting below is my emphasis. 1997-09-08 Development of High...

I can understand and even agree with your cost analysis. But arent you even mildly interested in what that research and testing is and what it says you are getting ? Thats the kind of detail that has guided me through both personal and professional life. Dan
