ok, where to start...
I removed the FEL thus eliminating the FEL valve. The BX just loops back into itself for those not enlightened.
I did use aftermarket quick connects, on a earlier trip to the Kubota dealer I found my original fittings are no longer used on the BX tractors. Verifed by part number sub/replacement in kubota parts list. I used fitting from a local shop.
Before my first post I got the splitter to run for an hour, decided it was time to stack some and let the tractor take a break. When I fired it back up to finish off a few splits it was back to same, no 3ph control no splitter control.
I took the inline and outline off the splitter valve, coupled them together. Still the same.
OK I got a bad coupling???
I switched the couplers out on the splitter side of the hoses, no go.
The couplers on the tractor end work fine when you connect the tractor to itself. In fact those where the fittings I switched the spliitter ones with. Again the tractor still works when looped to itself, no go on the splitter.
I'm thinking something with the tractor itsself. Could a patially clogged Hydro filter or screen cause this by some kind of back pressure?
Of course there is always a problem with the Hydro itself.
I read alot about setting the pressure on the hydro in other post,
I plumbed a guage on the input side mostly to monitor what the splitter was doing to the tractor. When the splitter did work it read 1650 psi at max load. I don't know if this a acurate reading of the hydro setting where the guage is placed. I know the
BX22 should read 1850 at optimum. So if it is a acurate reading I'm running about 200 Psi down.
I also thought about trying to hook into the FEL loop now that its available. Would this make a difference?
Sorry this is long winded but trying to throw it all out here, maybe something will ring a bell.
