DK50SE Rear remote flow

blucoondawg · May 8, 2012

Can any of you guys tell me what the gpm is available at the rear remote of my DK50SE, I see in the book the hydraulic is at 13.8 gpm, is this what is available at the remote? I didn't think it would be that high, I am researching pricing on subframe backhoes and want to look at 9fters but I want to be sure the remote will run it decent otherwise I will need to go smaller or consider getting a pto pump.

According to Tractor Data it's white cousin (CT450) has 9.5 GPM at the rear valves. It did not give a spec for the DK50SE.

10 gpm is what I am lead to believe, but I have not tested mine yet. From what I understand 8 is good enough for most hoes. The less flow would just be a little slower with no effect on power. CJ

I was wrong on the 13.8, it's listed total pump flow is 16.8. And that is what the salesman told me, but I didn't think that was what was actually available at the rear remote.

I believe the pwr steering takes up 6.8 gpm and the 10 gpm left over is for accessories....FEL, hoe, etc.? That's how I understand it to work.

There is a kit for the DK series that allows the return line to flow directly into the fill fitting,(where the red vent plug usually is installed). A smaller different vent then is attached to the left rear housing of the tractor. This allows for running a hoe to perform at its best flow and cooler, due to not having to run through a smaller port if hooked up 'conventionally'. It is really easy to install IF one's tractor has the port in place for the newer vent fitting.
Check it with your selling dealer- I'd say most DK series since about '08 are capable of this upgrade.
BTW, Kioti's KB-2485 hoe is designed to dig to +/- 8', for reference.

It is a 2 circuit pump the small circuit feeds powersteering, some small functions, and the HST charge pressure. The big section is for Hydraulics 10 GPM. CJ

Thanks guys I figured a good portion of that 16.8 had to be for the power steering, etc

Ya, I have that book, I wasn't wondering so much what the Kioti loader and hoe is rated for but what the tractor can produce at the rear remote, the Kioti specs don't separate the power steering from the rest of the hydraulics on the tractor they just say 16.8 total. These guys say it is 10 and that sounds about right
