John Deere front bucket hydraulics

[lochie]

I've put my old after market bucket from my old tractor on to my John Deere 2305 tractor and can not get the hydraulics to work. It only has two hydraulic hoses and I have them plugged in to A1 and B1 outlets. I've had a look at the manual and it still won't work.

...old bucket from my old tractor...

What model numbers, loader or tractor? Not that I can help much with JD...

Maybe the bucket is too heavy? LOL Don't know how changing buckets could stop the hydraulics from working.

By "bucket" do you mean "front end loader"?

Was your old tractor hydraulic system "open" or "closed"?

Is your new JD 2305 hydraulic system "open" or "closed"?

...Is your new JD 2305 hydraulic system "open" or "closed"?

That's "Open Center"... major question is what is the "old" equipment?

 

[lochie]

I think it's open but how can I be sure

G'day Cobber and welcome to TBN from Tassie.

The 2305 is 'open centre' TractorData.com John Deere 235 tractor information

Plenty of data about older machines. Was the old machine also a John Deere or another make? Just need the model number to look up...
