HAS ANYONE ADDED REMOTE HYDRAULICS TO THERE I'M LOOKING TO DO THIS TO RUN A WOOD SPLITTER
THANKS FOR THE HELP

It would be helpful to include the size and model of your tractor. Is it a YM? FX? etc.? You will have much better response with dealers, suppliers and/or someone who has same or similar model with remote hydraulics savy - with just a tad more information.

Is this the YM1600 in your other reply?

If you don't already have a valve, cut the hi pressure line at the pump. take a small sction 2-3". connect a compression fitting and run a hyd ljne to your new valve. from the output of the valve runa hyd line to a new compression fitting on the other side of the cut out section of the hi pressure line. Voila, hyd pressure to where ever.

Hopefully he has an open center valve.

Welcome to TBN. However, just to let you know, there is no need to SHOUT.

Ok, small amount of info out there on installing rear hydraulics. My dad is a farmer, has a skid loader bucket that is small, want to make a rear loader approximately 30 inches in size(after cutting down the bucket) for the three point. He has lathes, angle iron, welders, all the fixings to make a nice dirt scoop. He also has extra hydraulic cylinders. Would like to have him help me make a nice power activated dirt scoop which means adding rear hydraulics on my Yanmar 1300. Since prior posts have talked me out of a front loader, would like this as an option. What type of spool would I need, how do you install one. Help would greatly be appreciated. Would like to have the spool on while I then build the bucket. Also, like prior threads have said, the Westendorf auto lift bucket that is PRICY, and too big. If I am cutting a bucket down, what maximum size would you cut?

You can mount quick connects above your Rear PTO shield

kmosabe,

Contrary to conventional wisdom it is not always necessary to cut your high pressure line coming from your hydraulic pump to add remote hydraulics to your Grey Market Yanmar. Several years ago I added remote hydraulics to my YM2310D for a rear hydraulic bucket using the existing inlet/outlet ports on the high pressure hydraulic divider block beneath the drivers seat. All it took to do so were two BSPP 3/8 to JIC 37 degree 3/8 adapters and one BSPP 1/4 hex socket pipe plug. I found the adapters that I needed at Maryland Metric. the DiscountHydraulicHose.com web site indicates that they have lists BSPP/BSPT fittings also. I'm sure that there are others that sell these fittings.

Look in a Japanese parts manual for your tractor at the hydraulic divider block diagram and then look for hex plugs that are screwed into it near where the high pressure hard line from the pump comes in. Then locate these plugs on your tractor. If your tractor is like mine the hydraulic divider block will have an 'I' (inlet) and an 'O' (outlet) cast into it near these plugs. These are the plugs you will need adapters for.

My parts manual listed these hex plugs as PF 3/8. PF is an old Japanese JIS parallel pipe fitting designation that is functionally equivalent to the British BSPP parallel pipe fitting. Get in touch with Maryland Metric or another supplier and see what size/style adapter options you have available for your size BSPP fittings.

Once you have these adapter fittings installed you can use whatever standard US hydraulic fittings you want to plumb your remote hydraulic system. No cutting the high pressure pipe involved with this method.

A couple of years after I added the rear hydraulic remote for the bucket I did purchase an FEL. With a couple of changes/additions to the existing remote hydraulic fittings the FEL hydraulics were tied into the system. Now I have both implement options available and use whichever is best for the job at hand.

If you are interested PM me and I can give you more information/pictures regarding my rear remote hydraulic remote and bucket installation. The rear bucket attaches just like any other 3pt implement and is just as easy to put on/take off.
