Got it now. Is the hydraulic block for the FEL valve near the center of the tractor, on the transmission. Let us know, it will help determine the right way to add circuits in series. The older tractors were set up a little differently than the newer PB valves.

Thanks

We installed a Taylor Way backhoe on a B7800. We fabricated a sub-frame for the hoe, we would not 3-pt mount a backhoe on any tractor. The backhoe weighs around 1000 lbs. With the weight of the hoe, and the dipper stick force, the reactions at the top link are too high for the tractor. If the top link bracket doesn't brake off the axle housing, you run the risk of bell housing damage.

The Back-hoe itself is a good solid unit. The swing circuit is a little touchy, but the hoe runs great. Just don't hang it off the 3-point. Sub-frame mount the backhoe and you will like the results.

The Bobcat Tractors are KIOTI's with the Bobcat Paint Scheme. Bobcat and Daedong (KIOTI) have a marketing agreeement for compact tractors. Daedong (KIOTI) is supplying Bobcat with the compact tractors. Visit any KIOTI dealer and you will see we have the exact same tractors, same specs, with the original KIOTI color scheme, and the KIOTI 4 year powertrain warranty.

The 30hp tractor you speced is a KIOTI CK30 HST.
The 22hp tractor is the new KIOTI CK20S.

As of right now, Daedong is only supplying Bobcat with the HST models up to 40hp. Our guess is that they may get the full line eventually.

Regardless of color, they are great tractors!!

We hydraulic plow blades that will work for that tractor. We have manual angle or hydraulic angle, 66" and 72".

Always run Hydros at a minimum of 2000rpm. The rpms are needed to make sure the charge pump is keeping up with the HST.

The engine torques at about 1800rpm. You should make sure you are operatting the engine above 1800rpm, and 2000rpm with a Hydro.

Sorry, I did not post the pics. Been busy getting ready for the snow. We have gotten away from mounting our blades directly to the bucket. We did some field trials and didn't like the way the blade works.

We have done several subframe mounts this year, including a KIOTI CK35. I can post pics of the CK35 with a 72" subframe blade, or a KIOTI DK45 with a 84" subframe blade. We've also done Kubotas and other KIOTI models.

Thanks

The LK3054XS has 28 gross engine horsepower, and 24.5 pto horsepower. It is the TD1400B-1 engine if you want to review the psecs.

We use the tractor hydraulics to run the dump.

One thing to think about. If you are loading the trailer/wagon with the tractor FEL, then pulling the trailer/wagon to where you are dumping, there is a lot of fussing around hooking up the trailer every time you get it filled. Especially of you are plugging and un-plugging the hydraulics at the same time.

The trailer sits fine on the tongue jack, even full. You don't need the wagon to let it sit full. Backing up and spotting a wagon is a lot trickier than a trailer.

You need to stay with the "pin" hitch. There is considerable uplift on the tongue when you dump. The pin hitch takes the uplift.

We added tube stingers to the undercarriage of the box to stiffen the box, with gusset plates to the side rails. The box come standard with 1 1/4" angle stringers. There is considerable torsion on the box frame if the load isn't exactly leveled during dumping. We also re-built the tilt hinge frame in the back of the box.

We used a double acting cylinder. Gravity would work, we wanted a quicker cycle time.

One other note, we also repainted the entire trailer. Not only to match our company colors, but the original paint wasn't holding up very well.

If you calculated your weights by volume, be sure you inly inlcuded 75% for each tire. The volume above the top of the rim does not get filled. You need that volume for the air pocket in the tire. You numbers seem a little high.

Filling the front tires isn't very effective, and not a good idea if you have 4wd. You are better off with fron weights.

The UTILITY in CUT
Everything and Anything
Replies 16 Post by beagle

Be careful of car haulers. The intermediate stringers under the deck are not designed to handle the narrow tread of many CUTs. The concentrated loads closer to the center of the trailer can fail the stringers in bending. Most car haulers are designed with the wheel spread of car in mind, which doesn't impose much bending in the stringers.

Look under the deck. Many car haulers have 2x2 angle stringers between the main frame. These don't make good equipment haulers.

You can add additional circuits off the Power Beyond of you FEL valve. We add aftermarket rear remotes from the FEL PB for several uses, top and tilt, rear grapples, etc. Tou can add additional circuits, or use a splitter off the FEL valve. Adding circuits from the Power Beyond allows you to continue all Froont Loader functions while the rear remotes are operable. If you use a citcuit splitter, it's one or the other.

Your tractor has an open center system, so you need to make sure you get a splitter with an open center valve.

You can get a 2-spool 7gpm loader valve, complete except the joystick, for $159 at SurplusCenter. The first spool has float with detent, the second spool has the regen circuit. All you would need to add is the joystick lever, or fabricate your own.

The teflon tape comment is standard for hydraulic circuits. You should not use tape in high pressure circuits because the threads of the joint cut the tape as the joint is tightened. This can leave slivers of tape inside the joint that can end up in the circuit and cause problems. It's always best to stay away from tape in hydraulic circuits.

The motor oil is a little more curious. I assume the unit you are looking at has an independant pto hydraulic pump, and does not run off the tractor hydraulics. Not only is the viscosity quite a bit different for motor oils, hydraulic fluids (brake/power steering/automatic transmission, etc.) are formulated for high flow applications. Even 10w40 oil would seem too heavy for an efficient hydraulic application, causing excessive heat build up at the pump.

Huh Motor Oil instead of Hydraulic oil

I'm about to dodge them in my Chevy for the Labor Day weekend. You would't know Michigan is struggling when you see the traffic on I-75, but it sure gets obvious when you see the number of vacation homes for sale when you start running the back roads.

I was assured by the Regional Sales Manager that this type of pricing and customer treatment was not supported by the orange corporate people. I didn't get an absolute answer on what they would or could do about it.

Since I was treated fairly at another dealer, I'll let the forces of a free market system and whatever the orange guys come up with to take care of the rest.
