PB question

[jsully]

Hello, I hope that this isn't too dumb of a question......
I have a B3200 and had a top n tilt added to it a year ago. Now I am thinking of adding a 3rd function kit. Do I need to tee off the PB? My top n tilt is already attached to the PB. Thanks for any and all advise.

No Tee'ing off of pressure lines (including PB) allowed in Open Center hydraulic systems.

Do I understand you to be saying the Top & Tilt is getting power from the loader PB port?

PB devices need to be plumbed in series with the pressure liine.

Does your Top & Tilt control valve have provision for PB?

Dave,
The top and tilt was installed aftermarket by my Kubota dealer. I believe they installed it by using the PB port. Now I am thinking of adding a 3rd. function and it also looks like it needs to be connected to the PB port. Is there a separate PB port for the FEL? I am mechanically inclined but, am a novice with hydraulics.

Did your tractor have any rear remotes before the top and tilt was installed?

How many lines connect to your loader valve? 6 or 7

Which make and model 3rd function do you want to install.

Think of Power Beyond as the interstate, and extra valves; such as your top and tilt as exits. You can add more exits off the interstate road. Just do it one after another.

Your top-n-tilt valve has Power Beyond coming out it, just insert the new valve after the TnT.

From this:
Pump >> FEL >> TnT >> 3ph
To this:
Pump >> FEL >> TnT >> 3rd function kit >> 3ph
