anyone knowledgeable on the best way to add auxiliary hyd to a b6000 from the front of engine. Not wanting to go with PTO driven pump. Please be descriptive as possible as far as pumps and pulleys.

Thanks much

Hello,

you have two options at the front. Driven by belt or coupled to the crankshaft. If you go for the belt you will get maybe 1kwh per belt you use. The pump of my B1502 makes 7l/min with 150 bar that is ~1.75kwh.
(P = p * Q = 150[bar] x 7[l/min] = 150x10^5[pa] x 0.007/60[m³/s])
Not so much. Depends what you want to do!
If you want to go for the crankshaft here is a picture I found for a front pto:



You need an adapter that is screwed in addition on the pully of the crankschaft. Maybe you have enough space to place a pump there... I don't know.

It looks like a little bit tricky and there is no solution out of the box.
Most people add it with some extra belts, but that solution has not really a high volume with pressure.

What do you want to use it for?

What about the stock hydraulic pump from Kubota? Mine drives off the injector pump. Likely more expensive but much easier if it fits.

I have a pump on it like you do but it doesn't put out enough volume for what im needing. Stock only puts out about 3 gpm. Im needing about 12 to 14 gpm. Thank u though

12 to 14 GPM is not doable with a B6000. The tractor would be almost impossible to start because of the hydraulic load and would be impractical because the hydraulics would be using all the available power leaving nothing to drive the tractor with! hydraulic HP formula is GPM * PSI / 1714. So 12 GPM * 2000 psi / 1714 = 14 hp! That is all your Bota has on the best day!
The hydraulic system should never use more than half the available HP on a tractor. 50 hp kubota,s don't have 12 gpm pumps.

Guess I'll just go with a PTO pump for the backhoe. And add another 3 gal for the loader. Now just gotta figure out the best way to do that.
Guess nobody has ever done this before.

Thank you for your reply!

My b6000 has a pump that is mounted just in front of the air filter. It attaches to a pulley which is bolted to the air belt pulley, I think.

It works just fine. No idea about the pump flow. My loader isn't hyper fast, but it's plenty fast for me. Only drawback is that you have to unbolt it to change the air filter oil.
