kubota L235dt Hydraulic issue

Its to bad there is not a good place on this tractor to leave the gauge plumbed in all the time.

Why not plumb it in at the input to the FEL valve. You can then observe it when working, or add it to the dash with a rear hose hook up.

The first one uses a QD to connect at different points on the tractor.

The second one can be connected out of the way but available.

installing it at the loader valve might work - I will need to weld up a cover for it. I take this tractor in the woods a lot to drag trees out for firewood - I would be afraid of hitting it on something.

Its a great idea and it would give me a heads up if anything was going wrong with the pump

I received the PB plug today and after some running around to get the right metric fitting I installed the PB line and new return line to sump.

I have much more response out of the loader now and some more power. I talked with the tech at the hydraulic shop and he said that I was more then likely generating a lot of heat the way it was run before and that was why my loader and 3 point got weak after running it for a while.

I need some more seat time but my first impression is that it is better !
