OK, I'm confused....but that's not a hard thing to do. I bought the pressure testing kit from Bxpanded to check what kind of pressure I was getting on my loader. It's low, so I want to add one or more of the shims that came in the Bxpanded kit. This is where it gets confusing. According to...

I finally had a chance to do my system pressure test yesterday. I worked the tractor for an hour or so to make sure everything was warmed up to operating temperature. Disconnected the rearmost hydraulic connector on the FEL and plugged the gauge in there. Ran it up to 2500 RPM and tested - 4...

I posted this on someone else's thread in the Hydraulics forum but figured I'd put it here too as this may be a Kubota specific question. I'm about to do a pressure test on my Kubota B3200 but I'm confused by something (confusing me isn't necessarily a difficult event!). I'm going to attach...

Thank you, I just printed that out last night and took a close look a minute ago. It looks like I've got Parker 60 1/4" connectors. I took a photo for posterity..... Correction - I took one connection apart and managed to figure out the printing on it. They are Faster HNV series connectors.

This is what I built. I had an old gas grill frame that got repurposed and a set of wheels added. A free 50(?) gallon plastic drum from a car wash that was cleaned completely and a pump purchased from Tractor Supply. A couple added pipe fittings and it works fine. I added a metal nipple on...

I recently purchased a pressure gauge from BXpanded to check my hydraulic pressure on my B3200. The manifold where the loader attaches is not in a really easy spot to see the gauge so I was going to get an 18" or so hydraulic line made up to allow me to move the gauge. I know nothing about the...

Looking for some input. I've got a Woods BB60X (clutch model not shear pin)that's 4 years old. I used it 3 times then moved to a property where I don't need it so I'm thinking of selling it. It's been stored out of the weather in my garage so it looks like new. I don't remember what I paid for...

I've got a 5' brush hog that I bought new and only used 3 times. I moved from where I lived before and have no use for it where I am now. Is there a better time of the year to put one up for sale? Would it be easier to sell in the spring or summer than this time of the year?

Resurrecting an old thread....I tested my hooks to the limit and they worked. We moved and set 6 frost posts that weighed 700lbs each. Picked them up with the front bucket with a chain on the hooks. No problem at all....although I did scratch the paint!

My backhoe was detached and not used all winter. I went to hook it up today and was having trouble with the connector from the backhoe to the tractor, it wouldn't seat and lock in no matter how hard I pushed on it. Same problem with the tractor connector trying to connect to the female on the...

I searched the forum but couldn't find the answer..... I've got a 350 foot long gravel driveway that I want to maintain. From everything I've read her on TBN I want a land plane rather than a box blade. My driveway is relatively flat so I won't be going up or down any steep hills. The B3200...

The WSM doesn't have a ton of information. Anyone know how many PSI each different shim thickness adds?

I've read several threads about how Kubota routinely sets hydraulic pressure lower than what's claimed in the literature. I've always felt that my loader wasn't lifting what it was really capable of. Last fall I loaded my 5' brushhog onto a flatbed trailer. The cutter weighs about 500lbs. I...

I've read a couple posts about how Kubota tends to be conservative on the amount of hydraulic pressure that's used on their tractors. I've seen posts about adding shims and washers to increase pressure; getting a pressure gauge and hooking it into the hydraulic system, etc. But, I'm not sure I...

40 yrs as an LEO - first 20 yrs I carried a S&W, second 20 I carried a Glock. Glock is my preferred brand pistol as we put them through all kinds of wear and tear - got them wet (marine patrol) and they always worked. I was also a Glock trained armorer so I know the pistol inside and out. My...
