I have a WorkSaver 300 PHD for my Kubota BX23 tractor (great machine for my small alpaca farm). The dirt on top of the Rocky's foothills is rock hard in summer and I have a no down force on the Cat 1 3PH. So I have ordered a Down Force Kit from Worksaver (DK-50) that has a single throw cylinder. I have searched and asked a lot to find the correct manual hydraulic control valve to connect to the Kubota rear hydraulics to manually control the output to put down force on the PHD. No clear answer!
The BX23 has 2 connection points for the rear hydraulics (they normally drive the BH) but there are no built in controls on the tractor for this auxilliary hydraulic outlet. I assume one is always pressure and the other is the tank return.
When I move the valve lever, I would like pressure to be applied to the cylinder. When a spring returns the control lever to neutral, I would like the pressure to be released. It would be great f the pressure was proportional to the lever position. I would like the PHD to be able to be raised with the neutral position so the oil would need to be able to flow freely back to tank. I think this is called open Neutral.
The only maybe is a Prince Standard 3-way Control Valve Model# RD-2575-T3-ESA1 but I have had problems finding simple descriptions of how it works.
Any suggestions if that may work? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
