FEL Hydraulics on M7030

bsekf · Aug 10, 2023

My loader works off one set of remotes. So, when using the loader, I have to lock the remote lever back and, in that position, the 3-point hitch and the other remote doesn't work. I have been living with it but wish I could run the loader and the 3-point at the same time. This was discussed at one time, and I realized it was way over my pay grade. Can someone explain it to me again and how expensive it would be to have a professional fix/change it.

Thanks

To start with, some photos of the loader valve, how/where it's mounted would go along way toward answering your questions.

If the valve is power beyond capable (this can be determined from out here with proper photos) then the cost will not be all that much. Just some creative plumbing, hoses and fittings, miscellaneous hardware. You well may be able to "do it yourself" with proper instruction. It's actually simpler than you think. It all depends on who you listen to, what actual "Kubota" parts (if any) you decide to go with.

Aftermarket loader maybe? OEM Kubota loaders are plumbed directly far as I know. At least both of mine are.

It is a Quickie Q750 and here are some pictures.

That explains that. Kubota OEM loaders all have integral hydraulics and the return line dumps into the gearbox (in my case) on the back cover of the PTO. My only suggestion would be to add another valve set, which you can do as the valves are stackable. maybe someone else has a better suggestion, I don't.

There should be some blocked off fittings down by the filter on the right side of tractor. Just in front of the filter. Kinda at front of passenger foot board. Some can just plumb in, some you will need a plate, or block bolted in there.
