Thanks a lot for the help Dan, as I'm sure you can tell hydraulics are not my specialty. If I have some time this afternoon I'll look for a plug to test the cylinder. I was in a bit of a rush yesterday. I was able to tighten the lever on the 3PH slightly but it didnt make much difference...

I've heard these fittings can be a bit of a pain to get right. The OD for the male end is roughly 1 1/8"

Thank you for this! I dug around yesterday and wasn't able to source a plug for the cylinder to perform the test. The threads do not appear to be NPT. I was able to confirm the bore of the cylinder is only 2" - which is the same size as the two lift cylinders for vertical travel. Seeing as...

Sorry for the confusion... one question led to another I'm definitely looking into a bigger tilt cylinder regardless of the control valve... it has seemed to be an issue since day 1. Although I don't discredit your point on the control valve..... If the tilt function is still an issue after...

I would be siked if the fix is that simple... I'm pretty sure the lever/assembly has been messed with at one point or another. I didn't know about the pressure against the relief valve tidbit but that makes sense now that you say it. I have noticed in the past that the position of the 3ph has...

It does when it is in the "full" up position. There is a notch that seems to hold the lever in place at the upmost position. The lever feels loose and tends to droop down...could just be a retention issue within the level itself...?

I haven't determined that yet... I actually just finished watching a couple videos on that matter and will find out what I have later this afternoon when I get out of work....just going off visual memory the bore must be somewhere in the 2.5-3" range. It looks to be the same thickness as the...

This has me wondering... My 3PH is constantly "falling down" under load as well. I have to keep bumping up on the lever to keep it up. Does that somehow tie into the control valve as well? The loaders vertical cylinders don't seem to have any issue falling off, unless the tractor is...

Ultimately the answer is dependent upon how much weight is in the bucket... If I have a full bucket of stone/dirt and the bucket starts to tilt down, I can generally bump the stick and tilt the bucket back up again. If I have a heavy load extended out on pallet forks, the cylinder generally...

Huh, no kidding! Is there a certain threshold to stay within? I'm sure I should be looking for something similar in size to what I have now, but with a higher PSI flow/rating? I haven't really had to mess with hydraulics all that much, so I don't know what I'm looking for.

Hey All, I have a B7200 Kubota with an aftermarket loader on it. I'm having issues with the tilt cylinder maintaining it's position under load, and I find myself constantly bumping up the tilt lever on the joystick. Coupled with the fact that I'm adding a larger bucket to the loader, I suspect...

You're not kidding! Just for kicks I searched for drive pumps and found they ARE available... for the price of nearly $2k! I'll have to see it run and operate it to see how it really feels and take it from there... The bubbling hydraulics are definitely the biggest concern, if possible I'll see...

I appreciate the pointers - I have yet to see the machine in action, but it helps to know what to look for. The owner told my wife the "bubbling" started after she added hydraulic fluid to the machine, and that she suspected the drum of fluid was contaminated. I question why she was needing to...

Hey Guys, This is a bit off topic as far as "orange tractors" go, but I'm hoping you guys will have some insight for me nonetheless. I have a chance to buy a late 80's-90's John Deere 675B Skidsteer for less than $2k, with 3200 hours. It's a bit rough around the edges, but does this seem...

Yep. I didn't think what I was asking/stating was that crazy but apparently everything should be common knowledge to everyone. And I do get what guys like OldHokie are saying... I had just never seen a machine attempt to lift something and seemingly nothing happened. On many occasions I've...

Your dead on. I only had 35 left and I thought my brother in laws tractor had enough uumph to lift them up, but nope. I knew the ass end of my tractor would have been in the air, that's why I thought it was weird at the time. I'd love to get a skid steer, but I'm moving and the market is sky...

That's exactly what I'm referring to. My situation with my tractor could just be different from others. That seems to be the general answer.

Makes sense man, I just thought it was a weird situation at the time. I guess I'm so used to my machine and the way it behaves, I just thought it was weird his tractor didn't even lift up on the rear wheels. I also have an aftermarket loader on my tractor, so I'm wondering if there is less...

Huh, well that might be all there is to it! Apples and oranges.

I know his tractor is rated for 1k# lift. I want to say its a B2620 or B2626. And we were using forks with the Bobcat style quick connect. 35 blocks at 35#s comes out to 1050#s. I assumed the 'loader lift spec' would generally be underrated as to what the machine could actually lift. Seems to be...
