Not impressed with my B77

[Sammy3700]

I am not sure I think 2400-2500 is around max not near my book. Anyway I got a 3000 psi gauge and a female quick coupler like is on the loader hoses from tractor supply around 25 dollars total. The shims are like a number 10 flat washer one size smaller than a 1/4 inch flat washer. 22 mm wrench fits the valve and look under the right floor board. I have mine around 2500 and have done several L3400 one guy had me set his at 2600 due to using it to load logs at his saw mill. There is a big difference now vs before I was told by my local dealer Kubota always sets them low at the factory.

Don't be fooled by adding only 25 psi. Remember that's pounds per square inch. So, if you BH77 has a 3" cylinder, the area under pressure is about 7.1", so that would be about 176 additional pounds of force at the cylinder. That's all if my math is right - just having my first cup of coffee this morning.

I'm guessing there's nothing wrong with your BH. Digging out a 15" river birch stump is not trivial. Took me over 3 hours to dig one out less than half that size with a shovel, a pick ax and a bucket of cuss words. Just saying.

I would be happy if the power was close to the old Ford.
We put a water line in at camp some years back, the Bushog pulled rocks out of the ground the FEL would not lift.
Sams size 7'-6" hoe smaller tractor!

Yeah no Orange will match the old Fords. You would have been better off rebuilding the blue one than buying new. We hear this type story all the time. But you do have a new tractor and everything works ok. I had a MX 5100 for a while but being a older Ford and Massey owner it didn't stay in my fleet long. It was well made just very light and the engine had no balls.

Before doing anything, I would try to get ahold of your old BH specs and compare. This will get your expectations aligned. If still not meeting up, check pressure gage to see if there is a problem. Hydraulics Are hydraulics regardless. It's gpm and psi.

Talking about BH77's, and at the risk of slightly hijacking this thread (sorry), I cannot find any grease points for the boom swing cylinder pivots. The "trunnions" look to fit into bushings, but with no zerks I can see, and none shown on the parts diagram. Don't they need lube? I did spray them with SuperLube spray.

thanks
