Kubota M7040 with Loader hydraulic connections

[ovrszd]

Mine doesn't have that little switch, mine has a switch up on the top side of the handle for the loader. It diverts pressure electrically when it is pushed, and from what I can tell, doesn't do anything when it isn't pushed.
Thanks for the picture Ovrszd!!

Without a pic, I'm just guessing.... I think you have a diverter valve operated by that single push button. It ues the bucket curl function to curl (button released) to 3rd function (button pushed) but can't do both at once.

What are doing just sitting in the shop on your tractor?

Totally!!!! I like my knees!!!

Yep, sounds about right. Thanks!!

Hmm......so many different ways of doing it. I have the WR Long, electric over hydraulic system with a toggle switch on the FEL handle.

A self cancelling toggle that returns to normal function?

Yes - You have to hold the toggle in the up or down position. Let go - it returns to the center (OFF) position.

The system works great. I've learned how to "modulate" a direct on/off system - with quite a bit of practice.

Only improvement I would suggest - make to toggle protrude further from the FEL joy stick. Its difficult to activate the toggle with heavy winter gloves on.

I was definitely encouraged when I realized that I have a factory setup, BUT now that I have the grapple hooked up, I still see no signs of the toggle button/switch mentioned above that operates the bucket grapple hydraulics. pics attached. all help is appreciated if I've missed something.View attachment New Picture (2).bmpView attachment New Picture (3).bmpView attachment New Picture (4).bmp

I would venture to say that pic #4 is your new FEL control handle. Somewhere up on the top of that top knob there should be a button or toggle that controls - grapple open/grapple closed. Understand the third function system only provides ONE extra function - grapple open and grapple close. The remainder are the same as if you had the bucket on the FEL - up/down and roll forward/roll back.

I have a fantastic pic of the top of my control handle with toggle switch. UNFORTUNATELY - the gods of technology are saying "you do not have authority to perform this function". I WILL send the picture to you golfgooroo thru other avenues.

Its just simply not going to allow me to upload any pictures. What a true PITA!!!

If you have one button/switch, you have a diverter valve system. If you have two buttons/switches you have 3rd function.

The first performs a function in lieu of a different function. The latter performs a 3rd function in conjunction with the others.
