1. On your Kubota, is your regen not in the first part of lever ?
2. Regen dump pressure should be lower than full dump.
3. Power dump at end of extension should be full pressure.
4. Is this sound a hyd clunk or a mechanical clunk. Is the bucket slamming on the mounting pins.
5. Rear remotes with nothing attached would be the same as a deadhead.
6. Any pressure you see is the result of a restriction or a cyl at full extension or retraction.
7. Do you think the pressure reading was from the hyd blk relief valve or the loader relief valve?
Ok will answer each one in a list.
1. I may be confused on regen dump and full dump terms. When I moved the lever to 1st stage dump, the pressure read 100 psi real quick then went right to 0 psi. When I moved lever all the way to right (2nd stage) then the pressure read 2200psi and engine labored a slight bit.
2. If regen dump is first stage of valve lever dump, then yes, regen dump pressure was 100psi then quickly went to 0 psi during dump. Full dump pressure was higher at 2200 psi.
3. Power dump or full dump pressure read 2200psi during bucket stroke. Once cylinder stroke reached end, pressure went up to 2300 psi.
4. This clunk sound I am talking about is a hydraulic clunk. It is NOT the bucket bouncing or linkage hitting. The sound seems to be comming out of the in, pb, and tank lines from the tractor hyp ports and the loader valve. Sounds like a quick "click" or "clunk" sound. It is very distinct. Not a faint little sound. It is louder the quicker I move the lever back to neutral. Kinda like a quick snap or clunk sound.
5. Rear remotes had nothing attached and when I moved remote valve lever it sounded like it was deadheading and pressure went to 2300psi.
6. Unsure what you mean about "ANY pressure I see is the result of a restriction or cylindr at full extension or retraction." When I "lifted" the loader boom guage read 700psi. When the boom went all the way up to the end and I held lever there, the pressure went up to 2300 psi. When I lowered boom, pressure stayed at 0 psi. Same with all function lowerings, pressure stayed at 0 psi, boom down, bucket dump (1st stage), and 3pt down. When each was lifted, pressure was around 700 psi. ARE YOU SAYING THE PRESSURES SHOULD BE 0 PSI DURING ALL LIFT FUNCTIONS? When each function reached the end of its cylinder stroke the pressure went up to 2300 psi until I let off lever.
7. I have no idea what you mean by "do I think the pressure reading was from the hyd block relief valve or loader relief valve."
I am sorry I am uneducated on this. What pressure reading do you mean? Any pressure or the max pressure number 2300 psi??? I know where the pressure relief is on the loader valve, but have no idea where it is on the tractor or how to tell which one is working when.
