Need help solving snow plow problem

[joe jed]

I have a new l3901 and i have a curtis snow plow which is about 10 years old (had since new).Was previously used on a 2002 kioti dk35. I hooked it up to my new kubota and blade only goes one way. When i reverse hoses it will only go the other way. I run the angle on the dump bucket circuit ,i always ran it on the kioti this way. Help!

Welcome to TBN.

Try pushing the lever fully to the dump position, past a resistance.

i just tried that and still no luck

Show us the plumbing. A plow setup such as this usually has one hose from the valve going to the push side of one cylinder and the return goes to the push side of the other cylinder. That makes it a double acting situation with the two plow cylinders mechanically connected and acting like one.

thats how its set up and it worked well when i had it on a kioti dk35

another thing i want to add is it only moves the angle when i push lever to the left(curl bucket) till it maxes out but won't go back.If i switch hoses it will move blade in the opposite direction til it maxes out again and it will not go back.Again only when i move the stick to the left. It never moves the blade when i move stick to right

Move the lever past the regen mode, which is the first part of lever travel. Dump mode is far right.

There is no flow to the cyl when using regen.

My brother has a dk35 and his loader valve does't have regen but it's not a kioti loader. I don't remember who the MFG is, but the valve is a prince. That might be the reason it work ok on the dk35.

Ditto what others said.

Kubota valves have regen in first position. which pressurizes BOTH hoses and basically locks things up. You have to push the valve ALL the way to the right.

The kioti either didnt have regen, or regen was second position on the lever.

BTW, what are the cylinders on the plow like? a pair of single acting cylinders (one hose going to each)? Or a pair of DA cylinders (2 hoses going to each)? or is it just a single DA cylinder?

i have 2 single acting cylinders
2 lines that come from control valve feed into some kind of manifold and from this manifold to cylinders
