I finally broke down and picked up a third function kit and a grapple for my Kubota L35.
I bought this kit from Summit Hydraulics
summit-hydraulics.com/product/hydraulic-third-function-valve-kit-w-joystick-handle-for-tractor-loader-21-gpm/
And I got this grapple:
mtlattachments.com/attachments/72-mtl-hd-root-grapple
Also got the WR Long quick tach pin on adapter.
And then the adventure began. I made a mounting bracket, twice. Two trips to the tractor parts store for hydraulic hoses. Two trips to Napa for fittings because I forgot one. And one reorder because they left out some of the electrical components when Summit shipped the valve.
And it still doesn't work.
The backhoe works fine and the third function has pressure but the front bucket valve has so little pressure it won't move. I'm using the power beyond port out of the FEL valve to feed the new valve and the power beyond port on the new valve to feed the backhoe. Backhoe works fine so the pressure is correct passing through.
I'm at a loss.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
