With the bypass valve open, pump flow goes back into the tank. Partially close the bypass valve to create pressure for spraying. The more you close the bypass valve the higher the pressure. The pump will shut off when the pressure reaches the pump's limit. If you close the bypass, the pump will...

Reach in the tank and pull the hose down some. I have 25 Gallon Workhorse with 5.3 GPM pump. The suction hose on mine is flattened out some at the bend, but it works fine.

I go over my driveway a couple times with the scarifiers down. First pass I shorten the top link so the blade is not grabbing anything. Then a few passes as need with the top link set so the blade moves grave to fill pot holes and dips. Typically leave scarifiers down for this to make sure edges...

I run hoses from a rear remote to a quick attach snow plow on the loader. Remove them when the plow comes off.

Check your fluid level. Make sure you do not have the draft control on.

Example of power beyond plug in a Prince valve. Some valves are different and have an adapter with o-rings to seal the high pressure from the tank circuit.

He'd have to remove the power beyond from the 3 stack valve he got from Fit Rite. Probably should contact Fit Rite for instructions.

If you use the swing pump as I did, you will need to remove the power beyond plug/adapter from your valve and plug the external connection.

I use the backhoe swing pump connections for my rear remotes. No permanent piping changes needed. Just use the swing pump quick coupler and the backhoe drain line quick coupler. I don't need the remotes when the backhoe is on.

Your loader lifting capacity will be significantly more at 4 feet verses max height. For example, my L39 is rated 2767 lbs at the pins and max height. at 4 foot height it is rated about 3500 lbs. 500 mm forward the pins or edge of the bucket at 4 foot height it is rated about 2860 lbs.

(y)on the gauge wheels. I have an 84" Land Pride landscape rake. Difficult to get a level grade without the gauge wheels. I even added brackets to my box blade so I could use the gauge wheels from the rake on it.

When I had an RTV500, remember making a significant improvement in performance by adjusting the throttle/HST linkage. The foot pedal controls both the throttle and the HST. You can adjust the linkage so you get to full throttle sooner in the pedal travel.

L39 has hand throttle that is friction held and spring return foot peddle that will over ride (increase) the hand throttle setting.

I like the hydraulic self level on my L39. It does need periodic adjustment. There are two adjustment screws on the loader valve, one for raising and one for lowering. Not too hard to do other than a bit of hassle to get to the screws. I just eye ball it and don't use any sort of leveling gauge...

On my '07 L39, there is no emissions control and throttle is manual. Great tractor.

I am not familiar with your tractor, but most three point lifts have a mechanism to provide position feedback to the valve for controlling lift height. Sometimes it's a small linkage from one of the rockers to a bell crank arm on the side of the case. Sometimes the mechanism is inside the case...

Did you find the problem? The backhoe uses the power beyond from the loader so if loader is ok it will not be the relieve valve. Make sure the two directional valve levers on the back of the tractor are fully pushed in. One lever is for the swing pump and the other connects power beyond to the...

I like using both. The trouble with a quick attach plow is it is difficult to keep it from digging in and pushing up the front of the tractor. Using loader float does not help. I added float to the curl function which helps some but you still can't scrape the drive clean. Mostly I just set the...

I found that transporting rocks with a backhoe and thumb can be difficult unless the rock is small enough that you can curl the buck under the rock to support the rock. The problem with trying to pinch the rock between the thumb and bucket is that you need to keep pressure on it while...

I agree with the landscape rake. Get one with gauge wheels as that will help you level. The rake will help with gathering up the debris as well.

See if you can rent a Harley rake. If you cannot find a 3 point Harley rake to rent for your tractor, then rent a skid steer with a power rake. You can repair the yard and have it ready to seed in a day.

I had a similar problem on a '53 Golden Jubilee. It was the axle shaft seals leaking. Brake linings get saturated with oil and don't grab anymore.

I was clearing land as a weekend warrior and was very glad to have my own TLB rather than trying to arrange rentals. You will not regret having a backhoe even after your clearing work is done. With the size tractor you are getting, you may want to consider an 84" land scape rake rather 72"...

Check the joy stick linkage. It may not be fully stroking the valves in one direction causing the loss of function. There may be debris restricting linkage movement. The one valve dumps the swing pump to tank. If the valve did not close all the way you would have reduced or no swing function...

I have a 1970s era Wheelhorse D250 tractor with a single stage snowblower that has an auger like the Riest Industries. It will throw a lot of snow, but if the snow is wet it is prone to clogging the chute. You can see the auger gets bent from hitting rocks and branches that got buried in the...

If the gravel is not yet froze, I have to be careful as heavy loads can push the skids into the gravel. When this happens, I lower the loader a little which raises the blade edge and angles the skids to help push them back on top of the gravel. Once the gravel is frozen, I don't have this...

I mounted the valve on the right loader support bracket. Existing hoses from the loader valve go to hard lines on the right loader arm. I inserted tees where the curl function hoses connect to the hard lines. I then hosed from the tee to the float valve. I replaced an existing 90 deg fitting in...

I have a SSQA plow on my loader and quickly discovered that floating the loader did not prevent the plow from digging into my gravel driveway. I added a float valve to the curl cylinders and that solved the problem. It's a manual valve that I have to remember to engage after setting the loader...

That is pretty much correct. Work port reliefs are relief valves on the valve ports that go to the cylinder. They relieve pressure if an external force applied to the cylinder causes the pressure in the cylinder to exceed the work port relief setting. Very common on backhoes.

I like your setup and may try it. I was considering buying a back blade with offset and angle so I could redo some ditch banks but I may try your method instead. My L39 and I suspect the L45 as well, has work port reliefs on the dipper, boom and swing that will protect system components from...

I used to have a place in northern Michigan where I used a 3-point blower on a gravel driveway. I have a hydraulic top link so I could adjust it as required to angle the blower skids to keep them from digging in. Worked well for me.

I used to use just a back blade but had trouble with deep snow and drifts. Now I use both a SSQA snow blade on the loader and a back blade with a strip of horse stall mat on the edge. On a gravel driveway it is very difficult to keep a SSAQ blade on a tractor loader from digging into the gravel...

I have a crushed stone (A23) driveway. There's quite bit of fines in my driveway and it gets pretty hard once it dries out. In the spring before the driveway hardens up, I have used a back blade with scarifers to level out pot holes and dig up weeds. I added gauge wheels to my back blade and...

There is an electric solenoid that controls the PTO clutch. You should check the wiring to the solenoid for any loose connections. You could also pull the solenoid body and make sure it is clean. There is a service manual on line - not the best, but check it out if you don't have one...

I used to have a Wallenstein BX62 self feeding chipper. Ran it on a 45HP tractor. It was a beast. The only thing I did not like was how it would pull in branches so fast you had to be careful to let get go - it could rip your gloves - and you had to get out of the way as you could get whipped by...

I had a similar situation several years ago. After trying several half measures to fix it, I went all in. Roundup the grass to kill it all. Rototill high spots. Use boxblade and fill if necessary, to regrade so low areas drain properly. Nothing beats a Harley rake to finish grade and prep for...

I used to have a BX62. I rotated and sharpened knifes a couple of times. Removing the knives is pretty simple as oosik said. Don't forget to rotate or sharpen the anvil - you have four edges on that. I used a worn hacksaw blade as a gage to set the knife/anvil clearance. Check anvil clearance on...

Have you talked with the company to make sure their mounting plate will fit your backhoe dipper stick? I put a similar mechanical thumb on my L39 and it has been immensely useful.

Yes, that's it. Here's another one.

On the L39, the main regulator is under the seat. There is a little access panel held on by three bolts. The knob pulls off the 3 point drop rate adjustment to allow the panel to be removed. In the picture below I circled the main relief in red. There is a jam nut holding the adjustment screw...

Based on the parts diagram on the Kubota website for the BT602 backhoe, it does not look like there any pilot operated checks in the backhoe control valve so that could not be your problem. If your tractor is still under warranty, I suggest you have the dealer look at it. You could still take a...

I thought the Kubota box was way over priced. I made a couple of brackets and mounted an inexpensive plastic tool box under the hood. It works great.

Take a look at the pictures below I took from one listed on line for sale. The first shot shows the stop rod from the side. There is a pivot up front and I suspect a spring loaded ball pivot in the back (left side of picture). The stop rod is not fully engaged in the stop. The second picture...

Here are a couple of shots of my remote valve. I take the remote valve off when the backhoe is mounted. I used a couple of existing holes in the roll bar to mount the valve. Since I currently have the backhoe on, I set the remote valve in place so you could see. Note that the supply and return...

Ran my new Wallenstein BX62 chipper today and is quite the machine. I was nervous about buying a chipper without hydraulic feed (budget wouldn't allow it :() but I am impressed with the Wallenstein's ability to self feed :thumbsup:. It throws the chips pretty far, too. The first picture shows it...

Here are some pictures of a little rock my wife found in the woods. It had some fossils on it so she wanted me to dig it out. As you can see from the first picture, there was not much showing. After digging for a bit, I was able to drag it out of the hole with backhoe, but the L39 could not lift...

Use caution when ordering online from Tractor Supply. Make absolutely sure it is the item you want as they will not let you cancel an order even though it has not shipped. When I ordered a toy tractor for my grand daughter's 3rd birthday (yah, she loves tractors :thumbsup:) and found out the...

I have posted bits and pieces of my thoughts on the RTV500 cable adjustments in various threads and though I would consolidate everything here. Some information has come from discussions with the dealer but most is just my figuring on the RTV500 transmission works. If you have doubts, talk to...

After nearly having one of the hydraulic filters on my L39 punctured by a downed branch in the woods, I decided to make a guard for the filters. I see where others have made full skid plates for their L39s, but I though that was excessive for my needs, plus it would have been a lot more work...
