My
BX23S is a 2019 with 135 hours. I had ordered it with what Kubota calls a 3rd function valve and the mechanical thumb options. I converted the thumb to hydraulic & use that valve to power the thumb cylinder. I began reading forum posts regarding PSI & ordered the BXpanded gauge kit. Tested today & I’m getting a 2700 PSI reading at high idle connected to the output from the 3rd function valve—it was a lot simpler to connect there rather than the recommended output to the loader.
I would understand that overall hydro pressure should be constant through-out the system & should never get a “boost” regardless of where it was connected--or am I understanding wrong?
Machine has been running flawless—no leaks or operating issues.
Thanks for any input here.
PS: Other than my mod to the thumb all hydraulics are Kubota original issue.
