Thank you guys, that plug may be the missing piece and may be installed on the old tractor and I didnt realize it.

Let me see if I understand this:

Current state = no plug. Therefore ports A and B are both internally connected and receiving high pressure from the pump. This results in high pressure being sent up lines E and D to the controller and preventing any flow from occuring through the controller valves. At the same time port B/ line D are indicated to be used as the PBY port so it should have high pressure, however coming from the controller and not the pump. My assumption is that this PBY line is what is supposed to act as the “in” for the 3ph. Right now however, the pump is bypassing everything due to equal pressures on both sides of the controller and just powering the 3ph.

New state= with plug. Ports A and B will be internally separated. Fluid will be required to travel from the pump through port A to the controller and exit through the return line or the PBY line under pressure. The PBY line D will then feed back in to port B and power the 3ph at the end of the chain of hydraulics as intended.

Yes, I think that is correct. Thanks to Winston's page, we seem to understand the system better. But as is, you have the 3pt powered directly from the pump rather than from PBY line. So we have too many competing lines under pressure. That's nice in a way, because since the 3pt works, it says that the hydraulic pump is working.

Consider this: It may be best to send the output from the pump directly to the diverter valve instead of to the 3pt hitch. Let the diverter valve do the proportional diversion, and then power the 3pt hitch from the PBY line.

Exactly. I think that is how it is hooked up and how it was intended to be used. Just missing the plug Winston mentioned.

Pump Out -> Diverter -> FEL/PS

FEL -> 3PH through PBY -> Sump
PS -> Sump

I’ll get out there late today or tomorrow to confirm if I’m missing that plug and these theories are correct. Thank you guys!

rScotty and Winston are geniuses! Winston nailed it, I was missing the 1/4" plug and rScotty had the theory right - I had high pressure on both sides of the controller.

Sure enough I checked the old tractor and found the 1/4" plug right where Winston's diagram showed it was supposed to be. Swapped it over to the new tractor, fired her up, and within seconds had a functioning FEL. It was getting late and dark so I only played with it for a few minutes but I'm super happy to have reached this point. Can't wait to try and use it sometime this week and see how everything goes. Thank you everyone for the help so far, I couldn't have done this without you!

Had a few hiccups when I first went to test it but it's looking good. First test I made it 5 minutes before the hose from the pump to the diverter burst. It was an old hose that I re-used because I thought it looked good. Got that replaced and everything ran smooth on the second test. Moved some wood around in the bucket and I'm going to try pushing some dirt around this weekend. Picked up my first 3pt implement this week too - 6' rear blade from tractor supply. Hoping to use this to clear snow this winter. I'll get that put on and do some tests this weekend too to make sure I'm good to go when the snow falls. Thanks for all the help!

I've been rear blading now for 3 years. If you should run into issues, give a holler. There are some EZ tricks to learn making is faster and better to manage.

Hey everyone! Been awhile since I checked in. Everything has been running great! Worked the tractor hard this weekend. We had a major storm roll in and got over 2 feet of snow. Took some time figuring out the best methods to clean that amount of snow up with the Yanmar, but got it done! I ended up using the bucket and the blade about 50/50 and enjoyed every minute of it. Check out the post clean up video and some snap shots, as well as a video of the back blade in action from a smaller storm a couple weeks back.

What size King Cutter blade is being used? I have the smallest yellow blade like yours.

If you drove in reverse in a faster PS selection with the blade turned about 15 degrees (1-pin selection) all of that snow would get pushed to the side in no time flat. The downside is, that kink in the neck after 20mins. LOL

Your drive looks to be about the length of mine, but you have a wide turn included.

Great vids.

That is a 6' CountyLine blade from Tractor Supply. I will give it a try in reverse next time. I've been running in 2nd gear with the PS in 2nd or 3rd.

AKA King Kutter blade. It's just rebranded for Tractor Supply.

I have the 5FT wide version.. Works really well. The off red/orange one is the 4FT version sold, but my rear wheels would leave imprints.
