Re: Hydraulic Tip \'N Tilt - OK, Top \'N Tilt

Bird, my box is working out great! I found boxes at a place called GI Joes Surplus which I think is a chain. But I've also seen them at Northern Tools. I'll measure mine tomorrow. I've got several sizes but the one I used on my setup is the perfect size and is pretty common I think.

Bird, go to Bush Hog's site (www.bushhog.com), click on Agricultural Products, then click on the box "See list of downloadable Operator's Manuals," then download the manual for backhoes. Page 32 (actual page count 34) has an illustration of how to plumb auxilary valves from the loader "power beyond" plug.

Gerald, you say <font color=blue>the hose that goes to the left side of your tractor is "back to tank"</font color=blue>. Not on the B2710; they're all on the right side. I know which is which, but I'm not using the PB from the FEL valve. I'm using the optional rear hydraulic outlet. I've still got some more experimenting I want to do, but it's so darned wet and muddy out (and 25 degrees again this morning) that I'm not doing much right now.

I finally finished my tip & tilt. (Top and tilt). I attached a picture. I also added a third valve to run the angle on my back blade. They are all on Quick disconnects so they are easy to remove. I don't think it's a good idea to use the tilt with my mid mount mower on. It can over travel the one side of the lift linkage for the mower.
I was wondering if you solved your hot oil problem that you were experiencing with you system? I have not had any problem with oil heat yet. I have used it for several hours in mid 70 temperatures. Did you change to different oil?

That's a mighty fine looking rig you got there, Ron! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Any chance for some T'n'T close-up pictures?

Sure do. I mounted 2 valves. One under the FEL valve.

There are 10 Quick disconnects. 4 out front. This allows me to hook up the angle for my front blade.

There are 6 in the rear. The 4 to the left are off the front valve and cannot be used if the front connectors are being used.

I modified the top cylinder similar to Birds. The tilt cylinder has Birds extension. I don't know if I will require it. It does give me more adjustment when needed. I sized all the hoses to allow any rear set of quick disconnects to be used. Depending on which valve will be easier to use. In these pictures the tilt is hooked up to the rear valve on fender. The rear valve is hooked to the rear Hydraulic outlet.

I have my rear light mounted using the hole provided by <font color=orange>Kubota</font color=orange>. Sure was nice when plowing snow in the dark./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
