My '98 Kubota B7100HST has a Woods DuAl 145 front end loader that I assume was installed by Messick's (the tractor has Messick's stickers on it).
There are only two hydraulic lines to the loader, both connected to the hydraulic block that is inline with the hard hydraulic pressure line that feeds the 3pt hitch. This setup is functioning like a power beyond setup, as the 3pt hitch gets it pressure feed from the return line of the loader.
I'm in the process of adding rear remotes, so I've been reading up on how to set up power beyond valves, and have learned that you need a low pressure line return back to the tank from the "Out" port, in addition to the power beyond port, which feeds the next item in the series hydraulic circuit, which in my case is the 3pt hitch.
I was going to try to connect the valve for my rear remotes the same way, but didn't know what to do with the extra port? Plug the power beyond, and use the out port, or what, so i called the tech support at Surplus Center, where I purchased my block. They informed me that if I did that, I would blow seals in the valve with back pressure from the 3pt when I use the 3pt.
Sooooo, my question, is why hasn't this happened with my loader valve, and should I be concerned?
Thanks,
Jay
