Question on the Kubota B-2650

[jodebg]

My prior tractor was a B7800 with the 3ph quarter inching valve.
When I shut the tractor off and moved the fel control lever around to
eliminate hydr pressure, both the fel and 3ph responded.

With the B2650, it seems like only the fel system pressure is relieved.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to relieve the 3ph pressure, as well?

I do believe that lowering the TPH relieves any pressure from it.

Why the concern about relieving pressure?

Interesting note on the behavior of your B7800. I've had one for over 7 years now and don't recall the 3pt and FEL being tied together like you're describing. When I park I generally drop the loader bucket and then lower the 3pt (almost always have an implement attached), so maybe I'm missing this happening due to this sequence? For sure, though, it doesn't happen with the tractor running.

Something must have been wonky with your old tractor. Relieving pressure in the FEL circuit shouldn't de-pressure the cylinders holding up the 3 pt. Having something on the back dropping when you moved the FEL joystick would be pretty unsafe, wouldn't it?

Use the FEL stick to relieve the FEL and the 3 pt lever to relieve the 3 pt.....as I understand it.
