    Rear remote hydraulic on Kubota L245DT

    You are welcome. Here is a picture of a priority flow divider on an old 8N thats been updated with an engine driven hydraulic pump. I sold quite a few of these upgrades snd the flow dividers work well. They are adjustable so you can field tune the priority flow rate to match your application Dan

    Rear remote hydraulic on Kubota L245DT

    Thats ehat I was expecting - a power assist cylinder and valve. As plumbed the steering assist is in series with the 3pt and operating the 3pt can/will interfere with the assist. In general it works but not the best arrangement. If you add a remote control valve to that circuit it gets even...

    BX23S Hydraulic gauge permanent hook up

    And what did your gauge tell you that common sense did not? The onlyvthing under but pressure was the base end of the cylinder and the hose. Thr only thing that might pop is that hose. Dan

    BX23S Hydraulic gauge permanent hook up

    The OEM relief valve(s) prevent you from overpowering the hydraulic system. All a gauge will tell you is when they are called into action. A an

    BX23S Hydraulic gauge permanent hook up

    There are lots of options for location depending on what you want to measure. As for what you need - a suitable tee and a gauge. Having done this I will say you wont get much of value out for the time and money spent. Pressure will be all over the place in normal operation. Better off putting...

    M7060 Operation and transmission types

    All of the Kubotas at my course are older 2WD standard L series with HST and turf tires. They are used for applying granular fertilizer, disc overseeding, aerating fairways and greens, top dressing greens, pulling an ancient gang of reel mowers, and miscellaneous loader work. The owner IS the...

    How do I approach this

    Here is a picture of a log splitter hydrsulic connection. Easy and cheap. This was a cleanup of some storm downed ash. Took roughly an hour to section and split right where they came down.

    How do I approach this

    Bring the totes to where you are splitting. Pick up logs with grapple and cut them to length 3 ft from totes. Back tractor up to totes and wood pile Split wood into totes. Carry full totes to wood stove.

    How do I approach this

    Double acting cylinder but just like a loader regen is only available during extend which is why return is slower. Way better than a non-regenerative valve and in this application the difference is much more pronounced than fast dump on the loader. Dan

    How do I approach this

    Its a 4.5" cylinder running @2350 PSI which results in a bit over 18 ton of splitting forcre. I have not had anything it wont split but most of my feedstock is dead ash with a little red oak. Locust. and elm mixed in. Max diameter is maybe 30" with most stuff closer to 20" Nasty crotchs can...
