    DIY BH77 Install Journey

    I spent a little more time trying to parse that description. It sounds like you have a hose/pipe connecting the losder PB to 3rd function. That makes sense and supplies pressure to the 3rd function valve. You have another hose/pipe connecting the third function valve to the top of the...

    DIY BH77 Install Journey

    9 The valves can be plumbed in any order with one caveat. You want the BH to be LAST so as to avoid back pressurizing the valve when operating the loader or a remote. DO NOT use the backhoe outlet to feed anything other than the 3pt connection on the top of the transmission. The 3pt connection...

    Kubota 7040 no Cab rear valves for 3 way hydraulic blade

    I had a chance to look at the parts books. You have an open station machine and I assume a loader as well. Here is the main pressure delivery pipe (power beyond from the loader) going to the rear. This is probably the easiest point to plumb in your new 3 spool valve. Disconnect/remove this...

    BX 2350 Hydraulic system

    Log splitter vendors are nototious for overstating performance. i looked for cylinder size and could not find it. His tractor pressure is 1800 PSI and a 60mm cylinder will come up a biscuit short of 4T. That wont split much. Dan

    They are the same thing - SAE 80W90 GL5 EP gear oil. Dan

    BX 2350 Hydraulic system

    Those are control valves. Free flow spools means a constant flow connection like used for a backhoe. You could lock one of the valves open and use the outlets but its a poor way to connect your splitter. You can use the feed into the remote valve body as your connection point. Just put a quick...

    Kubota 7040 no Cab rear valves for 3 way hydraulic blade

    You will have three hose connections - pressure IN from loader valve, power beyond back to tractor (factory remotes), and a new tank return. I cant tell you where those connection points are until I look at the parts book. Dan

    DIY BH77 Install Journey

    0 The remotes are the wildcard. I am guessing they are installed in the general vicinity of the loader valve making plumbing runs pretty tight and may dictste a different order. Bottom line is the hoe goes last. Without looking at the parts book I would guess whatever is connected to the top...

    DIY BH77 Install Journey

    Normally the loop would be: Loader->3rd Function -> Remotes-> BH -> 3pt Just follow the plumbing off the loader valve and it should be pretty obvious Dan

    BX 2350 Hydraulic system

    After looking at the BX2350 parts manual there are a couple options. The most tempting is to put a quick connect coupler on the main pump delivery line and plug the log splitter in there. That puts it ahead of ALL tractor hydraulics and gives you full flow and pressure from the pump. The fly in...

    BX 2350 Hydraulic system

    You will need to create a hydraulic connection for the splitter. The easy way is putting a quick coupler on the loader power beyond. That may be a little tricky on a BX - got a model number for your tractor? Whoops - I see it in the title. I will get bsck with the details after lookingvst...

    Given the Stihl price and your light hearted attitude both must be true 😇 Dan

    PTO Driven log splitter vs. stand alone L3902HST

    I put no words in your mouth. You twice asked a question of fact and I simply answered. Others in this thread have been less accepting so consider that comment addressed to them not you. Dan

    PTO Driven log splitter vs. stand alone L3902HST

    I did not say I could load directly into the bucket. Normal practice would be to split into a loose pile next to the tractor then load and transport as many buckets as needed. In general i split as needed. A bucket load goes straight to my porch for the fireplace and I throw a tarp over the...

    PTO Driven log splitter vs. stand alone L3902HST

    I hesitate to head down this path but.... The bucket is readily available and I use it to transport splits and rounds or use the grapple to position and/or buck logs as a matter of course. If loading or splitting larger quantities the splits,/logs are: a) loaded directly into the bed of my...

    L35 loader valve port identification

    Sure. The ports on the loader valve are normally marked, P for pump and T for tank. If you cant find any labels post a picture of the ports and someone can probably figure it out. Dan

    L35 loader valve port identification

    If I had that information I eould be happy to provide it. But I dont. Do you really need to ID those ports to hook up your third function? See my previous response. Dan
