Kubota b7100 running La304 loader - Hydraulics

[Newbie7100HST]

Hi. I posted this in the Kubota owning/operating section but it might be better suited for this forum - I’m putting a 304 loader on a B7100.


The LA304 loader is rated for 4.4 GPM@2000psi. The hydraulic pump on the B7100 is 3 GPM and supposedly somewhere between 1500 and 1700 PSI.
I only plan on using the loader for yard work, snow removal and fire wood. (No commercial landscaping digging etc.) Will the stock hydraulic system on the B7100 provide enough power to do what I want or do I need to add a 2nd pump for the loader?

I’m ok with a slow cycle time and reduced lifting capacity....I just want to be sure the loader will go up and down and can carry 3-400 lbs.

Thanks.

I have a B6100 w a B219 FEL. There is a pump mounted in front of the engine (off the crank I guess). It is rated for 500 lbs but actual may be less, IDK. It works fine for yard work, snow removal, and firewood. Only 1 function works at a time though (ie. no curl and lift simultaneously).

I also have a B670 BH mounted. That's approx. 750 lbs of CW.

Ok thanks.
I think I’ll put it together with the stock pump and see how it works. I guess I can always add the crank pump after if I need to.
