Kubota B8200 Auxillary Hydraulics

[guyatcps]

Greetings. I have plans to use a 3pt splitter on my Kubota B8200. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what I'm going to need to install a remote hydraulic hookup, and where I can get the parts. I'm very familiar with hydraulics, and can even fabricate some of the parts if necessary, but I'm not particularly familiar with the B8200's hydraulic system, and I don't want to spend a bunch of time re-inventing the wheel here. Any help would be greatly appreciated ...

Thanks!

Welcome to TBN

Does your machine have a loader installed? If so, the you need to find the line the leaves the loader valve that is marked PB for Power Beyond. This line carries the full flow from the hydraulic pump from the valve and takes it to the next valve in series that is usually the 3PH.

You would take this line and extend it to the rear of the tractor to make a "loop" that you could plug your splitter into. These lines must always be connected when the tractor is running.

If you do some searching your questions will be answered in more detail. Search these terms:

I have a b2150 hst and found it does not have the flow to run a log splitter. I may use a PTO pump for that.
BTW, my tractor only has 7 GPM output. It really needs 2-3 times that for a large cylinder.

Thanks for the information. My tractor does not have a loader, but I'm pretty sure it can be equipped with one. I'm under the impression that it has two different hydraulic pumps, a larger one that drives the transmission and perhaps a loader, and a smaller one for the 3 point hitch mechanism. I've found a lot of information here about how to set up a remote hydraulic hookup, but which pump, and exactly where I'm supposed to tap in is confusing me a little. If I have a choice, I'm guessing the larger pump would be preferable, since a splitter would benefit from the higher flow rate, but the splitter I have will work pretty well with even 7 gpm flow rates. Again, thanks for any information anyone can provide, and in the meantime, I'll be studying my manuals to see what I can figure out myself ....
