Old and tired. That is the right one now. I was going say something before, glad I read all posts before I said anything.
Yes, hydraulic oil is constantly flowing in a circle through the whole system and dumping back into the main tank at high pressure. BYD (guessing) BeYonD port...Hi
Thank you very much for your help now i understand it the scheme was big help for me i will attach more pictures of valve here..
When i connect (air) on the IN port i get air on BYD all the time when i push the lever i get the (air) on the exits it depends on witch direction i push or witch lever on that exit i get (air) the BYD will be a constant flow of hydraulic ?
So the low pressure return, that valve's "Out"; is just to give a path for oil to drain back to the tank. When a hydraulic cylinder moves in one direction (gets pressurized), the oil in the opposite side of that cylinder (that doesn't get pressure), needs to drain (release pressure) that oil goes back into the tank under low pressure return to tank line.On the OUT i don't get any (air) but when i connect the air on OUT i get air on upper 4 exits of it depends on witch direction i push the leaver...
No problem, what I don't know is how to set up your dump trailer since they (normally) use a single action cylinder (vs. everything that uses Double Action cylinder). Which, single action is power up and gravity pushes it down.Hi
Thank you very much !!!
This was very helpful
I run a double acting cylinder on my homemade dump trailer but I'm actually using it as a single acting cylinder, by just using one of the ports and the other has a breather on it.No problem, what I don't know is how to set up your dump trailer since they (normally) use a single action cylinder (vs. everything that uses Double Action cylinder).

I don't know if you need a special valve body or if the one you have would work fine for that??? Does anyone know? I guess you could use a double acting (power moves in both directions) for your dump trailer....
In my case, since I'm using a double acting cylinder as single acting, I only run one hose from the remotes to the cylinder. The non used port of the cylinder has a breather. It can't be plugged.First off, great job on the install!!! And nice clean shop area... Secondly, Sorry but I do not know the answers... I know very little about backhoes and even less about plumbing a single action cylinder with a Kubota.
I would suggest that you post another question asking "How to mount/use a single action cylinder with L3200 and a backhoe?" Link that thread back to this thread...
I'm afraid this thread might not draw enough attention from the right people. And the fact that this is a whole other question vs. just asking about Front hydraulics (which normally would imply, simple hydraulics for a grapple).
In the new thread, tell them about the dump trailer. Were you going to have the backhoe on at the same time as the dump trailer??? Or are you asking about plumbing with the backhoe lines??? (I'm confused, now)
The other reason to start a new thread about using a single action hydraulic cylinder is that I don't recall ever seeing one!!
Other than ptsg mention above... ptsg, so did you only run one line to your single acting cylinder and cap off (not use) the other line (dead heading it?). That still doesn't answer the backhoe question...
When the backhoe is not on, I THINK there is a bypass hose that is connected in place of the backhoe... (not sure if that helps).
