- SAME Minitauro 60
Hello everyone,
I recently bought a SAME Minitauro 60 tractor and have done a lot of restoration on it, but I'm having some problems with the hydraulics and lift arms, and I’d really appreciate any advice or insight.
The issue is with the two control levers located near the steering wheel that operate the hydraulics. On my tractor, these levers are mechanically linked and move together, but I'm quite sure they are supposed to be separate, each with its own function. I’ve seen other Minitauro 60 tractors where the levers are independent. I looked more closely, and it seems like the levers are fixed together internally within the gearbox, not outside, which makes me wonder if something is blocked or missing.
Also, the hydraulic function is very limited – I can only raise and lower the lift arms, and nothing else.
Recently, I bought a BCS 404 rotary mower that has a hydraulic cylinder, and when I connected the cylinder to the tractor, I wasn't able to activate it. There was no response or pressure, so I’m not sure if something is missing or if the tractor just doesn’t have an external hydraulic valve or diverter.
I’ve also noticed that other tractors have different hydraulic couplings, and some seem to have extra valves or controls, whereas mine has a very basic setup.
If anyone knows how the lift arms and external hydraulics work on this model, or if you have any diagrams or pictures, I’d really appreciate the help.
I’m attaching a few photos in case they’re useful.
Thanks in advance for your help!
