B1750 Log Splitter

[ITC007]

Hi all

A newbie , have just purchased a mint B1750 HST 4WD with 60" deck and massive rear collector

However i want to use a Hydraulic log splitter during the autumn and winter etc on the rear, now question is how the heck do i connect this into the B1750 i cannot see any take off points for the hyd lines !

Not familiar with your tractor but, if it has a pto you could find a splitter that has a pto pump on it and runs of your tractors pto. You could just get a tow around splitter also it will have better cycling power Thant most smaller tractors.

Hi thanks for the reply

that is not my problem i seem to have no rear connections for the pump lines to connect to

ITC007,

Welcome to TBN. Fill out your profile so we know where you are...

Does your B1750 have a loader on it? I don't think that machine has a place for a rear hydraulic block, so you'd have to tap into the power beyond circuit coming back from the loader.

Hi

No do not have a front loader that is next on the list to sort.

tap into rear ok this is a little beyond me i am afraid at the moment with my knowledge sorry

ITC007,

I think what you'll need to do is contact a Kubota dealer in your area and ask if they make a rear remote kit for the B1750... If there isn't a local dealer I can call here and see if they make a kit and what the components are.

To run a splitter you don't need full rear remotes... You just need "power beyond" and the splitter needs to have an open center style valve....

I called the Kubota dealer and there is no Power Beyond kit for that machine.... So you'd have to plumb it off the pump.

The pump would be mid machine and before the transmission I think... You may want to invest in a shop service manual for that machine...

So in the pump there will be a Out with a plug and an In with a plug or they may have a tube from one to the other. You'd have to use a 90 degree fitting on the out and run the hose to the rear with a Quick Detach fitting " Male". and the same for the In with a female QD and connect the two togetherso fluid is always circulating...

That machine I'd guess you wan't 3/8 hoses.... Though the fittings to the pump are most likley 1/2 in.

Chris

Ok great thanks for your help , bit of a swine but suppose not to big a job to sort though.

Sometimes it helps to do a little research before you buy so you get what you need or think you need!:confused2:

Somewhere there should be a 'hydraulic take-off' block. It will probably be under the floor board or somewhere along the frame on the left or right side. I'm not sure on your model, but generally there is a mating block that you can purchase from Kubota (should still be available through the parts dept) that allows you to hook hoses up the ports on that block. From there you just have to run the 'in' and 'out' hoses back to the splitter, which should have it's own open center valve. When you aren't using the splitter you will have to connect the two ends of the hoses on the tractor so the 3pt hitch will still function. Essentially you are creating what is known as a Power-Beyond circuit. There are directions in the owners manual about the hydraulic take-off port, if you don't already have a manual that should probably be your next purchase.

Ok thanks , went to the Kubota dealer today and had a chat , they are also putting a tech Q into Kubota , it was an option on the 1750 HST at order , asked them about teeing into the side pipes they said very risky with a log splitter as they have seen several that have blown the whole system apart if the log splitter jams and ends up costing ｣1000's to put right so the info above sounds like the same as the dealer idea they think about ｣450 or $700 to put the parts in that are required and another ｣100 to do front take off at the same time should i want a loader on it in the future.

I maybe should have looked more into this before buying but found this forum which seems to have loads of great people on it with the knowledge afterwards .

Manual already on order had to wait 2 weeks for reprint

On the plus side the dealer looked at the pics and chassis n0 and said with the Deck and the rear fan catcher i have not over paid at all for the tractor which is good news , even offered me to buy it if i wanted to sell it LOL.

Thanks

If this is going to cost a lot of money you should just go with Plan B. Plan B is add a PTO powered pump for the splitter... It will be much faster anyway....

Sorted turns out the HST has another take off under the seat and another under the side rail both with valves that you turn , the rear one will then pipe up & run to the log splitters spool valve rather than a mower deck option that was fitted to mine, as mentioned in an earlier reply thanks.

The twin spooler valve in N/A any more i am told from Kubota.

If you follow the hyd pump pressure line to the back, what all do you see?

I believe most Kubota's have a hyd block for hyd components.

It appeare that the 3pt relief is the only relief you have now.

What you will probably have to do is cut the pressure line and insert the loader valve with PB outlet. The PB line will then connect to the other end of the line that was cut which goes back to the 3pt.

Now, the loader relief will protect the hyd system. The loader relief should be set about 50 to 100 psi below the hyd pump max pressure.

Do you see anything that looks like this?

ITC007,

What the dealer says is true about something jamming, but that is also true of anything hyd in an open center system,. If you dead head a hyd pump under power, something is going to happen, a hose will burst, the pump will burst, or the valve will burst.

A log splitter has it's own relief, and should be set at the same relief pressure as the the loader valve.

Thanks for the Info J-J :thumbsup:
