books on tractor hydraulics?

[philztoy]

i want to add some rear outlets to some of my tractors and control valves.

I have searched for how to information books on the subject as I like to read and learn that sort of thing. I can't find any books on the subject of tractor hydraulics.

I saw there is a video here and will watch that. But I also would like a how to book if it is around.

2 ideas, here:

surpluscenter.com has a page on their web site that has all the formulas needed to make calculations.

a book titled lets get into hydraulics, might have been published by I&T shop manuals (CRS kicking in here...)

If you have the time could you give a review of the two books. The Vickers book is rather expensive but may be worth the investment. Thanks

I haven't read the Vickers book yet. There seem to be quite a few versions and updates of that book and I bought two different ones which seem to be very similar.

I also bought two versions of lets get into hydraulics. They are both articles out of a tractor publication and are nice summaries. One also had some tractor wiring and electrical articles. I have been reading them to start and the information is useful. Those books are more hydraulics for tractors 101.

The Vickers book is more the advance hydraulics in vehicles reference.

I hope that helps. I will try and get some further information up here when I get in the same room with the books again.

I think through these books and all the research I am ready to plum a couple remotes into the Kubota. It seems you find the line coming out of your loader to the 3 point and insert a valve body in and out in line with that then connect the remote quick connect females to the body.

A couple of my Deere's have "power beyond kits". On deeres this is just an open loop that you disconnect and connect the back hoe circuit to and then reconnect a Loop when the backhoe circuit is disconnected. They were always more of a dirty mess to me when the backhoe was off... but now they are no longer just dirty little connections, now I have realized their true beauty as my hydraulic remote supplier beautiful connections. So the power beyond hookup should be even easier as you just plug the quick disconnects in line with the valve and back to the other side of the loop.

So far that is what I think I know. Yet to be further developed....

If you want to learn the basics of hydraulics I can recommend "US Army field manual, FM-5-499 hydraulics" which is free to download on many sites.
You can try here or buy on paper from Amazon.
