Hyd hook up

sokoj · Sep 10, 2009

I have a Kioti LK 3054xs 4wd TLB. ( Factory loader and back hoe installed) I have a Myer 8 ft snow plow blade attached to the bucket. It has both right and left angle cylinders still attached .I have the angle cylinder hoses attached together so I can manually move the blade from center to right or left and pin it in place . I want to tap into the hyd system and be able to move right/left hydraulically .I have a 4 port spool valve off a wood splitter. Can I just Tee into the pressure hose going to the control valve for the loader and tee into the return side of the control for the loader to get pressure to work the plow blade ???? If not , any suggestions ! Thanks

Welcome to TBN

Short answer is NO, you cannot "Tee" into any high-pressure hydraulic lines. All valve must be placed in series with each other.

The proper way is to plumb from the PB (power beyond) port of your loader valve to the IN of the new valve, Then from the PB port on you new valve to where the original PB line was connected at the tranny. The OUT of the new valve can be "Tee'd" to the OUT line of the loader valve since it only carries waste oil from the valve.

Lots more info if you search the term "remote" here in the hydraulics forum. You setup is the same as the Kubota's use.

Since you have a BH installed, it is probably using the PB port. The other option is to use a diverter valve and connect to the tilt circuit.

So what? He can still add another valve inline just as I described.

His [ new ] valve is a used log splitter valve and has no PB port, and he can still connect in series.

I would check on the pressure rating on your snow plow cyl, and set the relief on the log splitter accordingly.
