I appreciate the offer of assistance. After I started the thread, I realized that I hadn't received the manual for the loader. I found it online. It shows some fittings being changed and lines being added so that the third function is permanently plumbed in ahead of the backhoe loop. Now, back...

I have a Kubota B2650 with backhoe. I hadthe dealer add the third function for a grapple. The dealer set it up so that I have to use the backhoe connections to run the grapple. If I want to use the grapple and the backhoe at the same time, I have to connect all of the hoses together. It is also...

In area, linesmans pliers are referred to as Klien's.

I own a B2650. Didn't buy a rotary cutter initially, felt that I wouldn't need it. I ended up needing to maintain some trails. I contacted my dealer (they have been excellent to work with on a few issues). They recommended a Landpride RCR1260. I know it is a lightweight mower. But, it has mowed...

Thanks for taking the time to make suggestions and explanations. I appreciate the time and effort you all have given. Randy

Here is a picture of the back of the tractor. They plumbed the third function valve to use the quick couples and hoses that makeup the backhoe loop. I can leave the grapple connected to the side supplying pressure, then connect backhoe to the t side of the grapple and finish with the t side of...

I can use the third function valve and backhoe at the same time. I just have to make sure that I don't hook the backhoe up first. Both the backhoe and third function valve have hoses that hookup after the steel fittings going to the backhoe loop. Some day when have plenty of time I will try to...

As the mechanic stated there are steel lines from the pump to the loader valve P inlet (which is located behind your right foot). The T outlet is plumbed with a steel line back to the pump. Then a steel line comes off of the pump to the P fitting for the backhoe loop. Another steel line picks up...

I can plug them in series and use both. The mechanic said that the lines to the loader and backhoe circuits are steel coming off the pump.. I have a better understanding of what the situation is according to the mechanic. I am going to spend some time tomorrow or Monday doing some maintenance. I...

The tractor was returned yesterday. With apologies for not getting it back a day sooner. The delivery guy was off Thursday. I spoke with the mechanic, he stated that we had to use the backhoe loop to feed the third function valve. I asked about plumbing the third function valve in series...

Thanks, I realize that I over simplified the plumbing. It wasn't intentional. Thanks for all of the responses.

Also, when the third function valve is not connected the front end loader functions correctly. Won't disagree about checking the function when setting it up.

I have involved the dealer. They will be picking up the tractor Tuesday afternoon. The third function valve is plumbed to the hookups for the for the backhoe. The way it is now I have to choose one or the other. My understanding is that I could basically put tees in the lines and have both at...

Hi, I am new to tractors and the forum. Been lurking and learning. I purchased a Kubota B2650 and had the Land Pride 3rd function kit installed. I also purchased the BH77 backhoe. I finally received a EA Wicked 55 grapple. I hooked up the grapple and attached the hoses as instructed. I lost...
