    B21, checking hydraulic pressure. Now I am confused.

    Thanks. Summit states their relief is preset to 2610. Rather than get too involved, I may try to adjust the main relief, which I have not yet put eyes or hands on and see if it has any effect. If not, I'll have to check the valve itself.

    B21, checking hydraulic pressure. Now I am confused.

    Well, that's a relief . . .

    B21, checking hydraulic pressure. Now I am confused.

    Made up a simple pressure gauge to check relief setting on my B21. A simple T fitting with 5000 psi gauge and a QC coupler on each end. It does work and show pressure, indicating about 1800 when the relief actuates. About what I expected and will, unless advised otherwise, adjust the relief...

    Quick attach options

    I know this is an old thread, but seems you still have to fabricate stuff to mount this and still need to remove the rather ingenious quick adapter and mount this "SSQA" adapter. I dunno if the negating a 100 pounds or so lifting penalty is worth all that effort.

    Adding Quick couplers for FEL attachments.

    Kind of. Where the QC's mount to the adapter. "Bulkhead" sort of thing.

    Adding Quick couplers for FEL attachments.

    Getting ready to convert pin on FEL 4n1 bucket (Wr Long on B21), which has "hard wired" lines from the solenoid valve to the 4n1 jaw cylinders to SSQA. Obviously, the thing to do is add QC couplers, And replace the well abused original hoses. I bought it that way, in case you wonder. I see the...

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    Guess I'm still not following. You're not saying they will "move out of float" are you? But that in "not float, not detent" the cylinder rod will "drift" as it encounters reality while going about your business? And that is due to "leaky spools", more or less?

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    can you expand on that? What does "excessive internal leakage" manifest as? The non float valve seems find, so far.

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    I should have said this right off, rather than answer, but please start your own thread on this question. It gets messy when there are different threads under one topic. Thanks.

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    I installed one, actually the side link too, as a kit from Kubota, on a B21, it should be essentially the same., as the 3pt parts are identical. May have been one of the last in the system. Got if from Messicks. Can look up the Whole Goods number if you like. Actually made by...

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    I can purchase a new 2 position valve (summit hydraulics) with float on one or both spools. I can also purchase a 2 detents and 2 float spools, but ends up costing about the same either way, About $250. The $100 is roughly the difference between 1 spool float, 1 not, and both float. Space...

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    More like $100 difference in this case. Since I have been "overspending" lately my conscience is bothering me. OK, my cheapskate side is showing. No, it really won't damage me, but, eh, I'm frugal. Mainly I am maintaining a shared private road and improving the drainage, making swales and...

    FEL bucket "self-leveling" action. B21/TL421

    Always wondered about the bucket "self-leveling" on this machine. While reading up on it in the owners manual (imagine that), it said it was important not to "interfere" with the self leveling action. Got me to thinking what that meant, and as I looked more and examined the machine, found the...

    Hydraulic Top N Tilt. Float valve or no float?

    When I hooked up the TnT for my B21 I got a two spool monoblock without detent/float. Some have suggested I should have a detent/float for both the top cylinder and the side cylinder to aid making a smooth level finish. I am considering changing the valve, or getting the detent and spool for...

    SSQA for B21/TL421?

    Well, I got one. Looks very well made. Waiting now for the weld on plate for the bucket and from there, more attachments as "needed".

    SSQA for B21/TL421?

    Anyone with experience converting a WR long 60 inch 4n1 bucket to SSQA? Adding Quick Couplers for the hydraulics is not a big issue as I never liked the way the hoses are now and need replacing anyway. The question in my mind is the weld on adapters to convert the bucket to SSQA. The ATI...

    That's good to hear. How has it worked out so far?

    SSQA for B21/TL421?

    I've found these are made by ATI as the Tach-all line. They are only about 4 hours away from me. Apparently they were bought out recently. Anyone familiar with their products and reputation?

    SSQA for B21/TL421?

    Slight itch has become "a need to have". Anyone know of (reasonably priced, good quality) SSQA conversion kits for B21/TL421? Currently there is a WR Long 4n1 bucket on the front in place of the Kubota bucket, which I never had. I found this and wondered if anyone has comments about the...
