    how to sell factory rear remotes (takeoff)

    Asking because I've never heard it asked & I bet it's pretty rare - I am considering removing my rear remotes from my ck10 (ck2610) for reasons; any advice on how to sell or price them? Tractor has ~200 hours, the remotes are in perfect condition & are not a low/intermittent use part anyway...

    tapered/NPT -vs- straight/BSP - is BSPP worth the cost?

    In another life (work $ + robustness requirements) we would go BSPP 100% given the choice. It's a better design, relying on the elastomeric seal is generally regarded as being much more robust than relying on sealant and thread deformation. Custom hydraulic work, on my own, is new to me...

    builtin check-valves in directional valves - sufficient for top&tilt drift?

    Many directional valves advertise built-in load checks. Are these as effective as the standard double-pilot operated check valve typically hard-lined directly to the cylinder of top & tilts? Obviously putting the check at the directional valve will introduce a minor amount of bounce to the...

    top&tilt - float while retaining DPOCV

    Typical top&tilt cylinders use a normal Double Pilot-operated check to prevent drift. Dark blue Valve1 in the picture. All these uber-compact double check valves use internal pilots for the obvious reason of size & cost. However, if one exposed the pilots (eg "remote" or "external"), then...

    fellow ck10 (ck2610) with OUT telescoping lower 3pt links

    I have a 2022(1?) ck2610. I believe this answer would be the same for any of the other CK10 series. I HAVE the telescoping lower links, but am trying to choose a hydraulic top-link length and it's right in-between. I'm trying to determine if the "stock" / NON-telescoping lower links are...

    aftermarket 3-point tensioners / better turnbuckles?

    I'm looking for a replacement/improved version of the side-tensioner for my 3point hitch. I'm finally getting around to installing my weld-on Euro hooks. It will be fantastic to finally have quick hitch - and just in time as I happen to have a lot of implement I'll be doing this spring. I...

    cylinder safety stops for *bucket* cylinders

    I have cylinder stops (these; same function as u-channel designs of varying polish), which I bought for when I needed to be working under the arms. I need to use my forks to hold a work platform. I can tie in, so with the FEL arms safe, the "worst" that could happen is a complete hydraulic...

    Ignite attachments (brand)?

    Any experience with Compact Equipment Attachments & Implements | Ignite Attachments ? I can't find much/any folks owning them here. I am comparing a 72" landscape rake; ignite is about half the price comparted to some of the other made-in usa, real close to import prices. Their design looks...

    final leveling of lawn - drag harrow, landscape rake, other?

    I have about a half-acre of lawn to finish. It'll be rough-leveled by a combination of blade/box-blade and FEL float, but from past experience I wouldn't want that to be my final surface. I have a 25hp TLB and a JD lawn tractor. I've been been considering a landscape rake for this (such as...

    agrisupply truck freight for "small" implement

    Looking to buy a subsoiler w/ pipe-laying attachment. I will only use it very lightly, and don't need to go deep - so was planning on buying from AgriSupply PIPELAYER F/ASC 73410A + 3PT SUBSOILER RIPPER 1 totaling ~$325. They want $450 to ship it to a major metro in Idaho?? (I would pick it...

    which grease for slow & fast bearings & bushings

    Small TLB here with a few implements that have bearings such as a pto snowblower, pto chipper. I've just used the same grease all around until now - but it's been nagging me and I doubt my lithium/moly grease correct for the "fast" or "spinning" interfaces. For the loader, BH, grapple, etc -...

    year-round fabric cover for more delicate tools/implements

    Looking to make a cover for my sawmill and a few other less-weatherproof tools** which at least for a the next several years will be stored outside. I've tried tarps, but: with the relatively harsh & consistent sun we get they degrade faster than i'd like because they are fully waterproof (not...

    pressure drop in relief valve (prince RV-1H)

    None of the "datasheets" for relief valves I can find seem to provide a flow-vs-pressure-drop curve. I'd like to know so I can verify the heat load & pressure loss I'm incurring here is acceptable. --- I'm modifying my hydraulic system to function with a grapple as if it were built into my...

    Summit Hydraulics - reliability of parts/valves, support experience?

    I'm thinking of buying some valves from Summit, but this will be my first foray into real modifications to my (or any) hydraulic system. I have my head around what I need and generally what the options are (I think, famous last words) ... Summit seems to be one of the only games in town that...

    source for D03 solenoid valve with "Deutsch Connector" (lower height/clearance)

    I need a D03 manifold & valves with slightly lower height. The common style with "DIN" connectors is typically about 6.5" tall - slightly too tall to fit where I'd prefer to mount it. The best option I've found would be these, with "Deutsch Connectors". The lower total heigh, around 5.5"...

    D03 valve -vs- manifold flow rates, and series flow route

    Hyvair style D03 (ISO 4401) size valves&manifolds seem in common use for small TLB applications (summit kits for rear remote & port multiplier, w.r.long 3rd function kits). It seems that D03 spec valves are spec'd for ~16gpm or higher (plenty, my tractor has 7gpm) But all the D03 manifolds are...

    why does using FEL stop Power Beyond flow

    My FEL completely cuts off the flow to the remaining PB. IE: when you're using UP/DOWN or CURL, rear remotes, 3rd function, etc cease all function. I understand this is ~universal. But why? here's the schematic from the manual (with some annotations to help, as these are hard to read if you...

    why not run PTO chipper infeed from tractor power beyond, instead of separate PTO hydraulic pump

    I have a 6" pto wood chipper coming shortly. As most/all small units do, it has a dedicated PTO driven hydraulic unit. Various threads indicate this is roughly a 3gpm pump. My tractor hydraulics are 6-7gpm, and I'm obviously not doing _anything_ else with the tractor while the chipper is...

    quick-couplers - when are iso-5675 compatible with iso-7241-1 (A?)

    Trying to identify the fittings on my tractor vs what came with an implement. I have two that seem extremely similar except the fluid-lock (ball, "poppet"). Some sites such as Incompatible Hydraulic Couplers: ISO 5675 (Ball, AG type) vs. ISO 7241-1 report some issues in cross-compatibility...

    ck2610 - hydraulic pump specs & flow path

    have a ck2610. Happy with it (except for BH departure angle ... another topic). I'm making some hydraulic mods/additions and am not finding much specific information on the pump. Tractor is rated at 11.7 GPM. That is shared between the hydraulics, steering cylinders, and HST. Pump picture...

    fix overpressure, sag: check valves, accumulators?

    I have two problems where I've seen advice on TBN to solve with a "check valve": a cylinder "sags" - eg, my snowblower chute deflector. Set it at the angle i need; a minute later the deflector has drooped down. a grapple can experience very high pressures when, say, it's closed on a long tree...

    power beyond flow to 3rd function valve - before vs after the rear-remotes valve?

    I'm installing a power beyond. I'm asking this question from a generic point of view, as I want to understand the hydraulic system as much as I just want to get it done (I find that sort of understanding will pay dividends later). That said, my unit is a ck2610, with factory loader and dual...

    Beware: kioti backhoe HORRIBLE departure angle ck2610 kb2475l

    had my kb2475l installed recently for the ck2610 i bought last year (backhoe took for ever to ship). I didn't make much of an issue with the geometry of the hoe as it's mounted on the tractor; driving my dad's small kubota CUT as a kid, he never took the backhoe off, and had no problem using...

    bucket tooth bar: EA wicked root ("continuous tooth") vs standard tooth design

    will be using a 3pt blade to re-grade about a quarter acre area; its currently gently sloped, i needs to be ~level: some fill at the bottom, taking off about 8inches at top. Final cover will be mostly garden, with a driveway/turnaround on one side. We have ~easy soil (or i would not be...

    chipper: heavier, 1000rpm flywheel better for smaller tractor? WC68, WM-8h, WC88

    Buying a PTO chipper. My rig is on the smaller end of viability with 21.7 pto hp. PTO lift is 1600lbs@2ft aft (also FEL + beet juice in all 4 wheels). My use case is primarily conifer (eg, soft), and mostly small (anything ~4" or larger becomes "firepit" firewood). The large input capacity...

    failed locking pin on locking chain grab hook - am i doing it wrong?

    pretty new to chaining anything. For my grade70 chains i dedicated to my tractor's trailer, i bought 'locking' style clevis grab hooks because it makes setup a tiny bit easier (no dropped hooks before i get it snug), plus theoretically in a "bad event" where there was a some momentary slack...

    nOOb to chaining down - is this sufficient?

    W.R. Long 3rd function kit -vs- OEM

    I'm not finding much direct comparison between WRLong third functions and OEM kits. I am considering installing it myself (mainly to learn more about maintenance). Both kits are virtually the same price. I'm on a kioti, and the instructions are from what i read - but i care more about...

    oem-kioti -vs- WRLong 3rd function kit (CKA162)?

    I am 90% going to buy a grapple next spring. So am considering adding the factory 3rd function before the tractor is delivered. It's about $1200 installed (2/3 parts, 1/3 labor). I'm pretty mechanical and can install my own (although given reviews of the CKA162 instructions its worth the...

    48"/4200# vs 42"/2200# Construction Attachements / EA forks for CUT

    Thanks for your collective patience; "what forks to choose" has certainly been beat into the ground in various ways, but after searching and reading I still don't quite understand :) In particular the affect of implement weight on 'practical' lift (as a lot of the weight difference is in the...

    how deep can I run a subsoiler (for running pipe) with ck2610

    ck2610 mid-pto cka113 install question

    Just bought (due in November :( ) a new ck2610 (woot). I will use a snow blower, but haven't decided front or rear, yet, and since i won't take delivery until winter, I probably won't be able to make up my mind this year. Rear leaves the bucket (helpful) but requires taking off the backhoe...

    clamp on pallet forks (& no qd) - vs qd bucket + qd forks on kl4030/ck2610
