Tractor with box blade, rake, loaded tires. Prairie Dog Backhoe mated to stock Kubota subframe.

Hi Mike, Can you explain how to change the timing and increase fuel flow? I did the rpm increase last year and bumped up the Hydraulic pressure a good 400 psi with not problems. However i could use a little more power with all of the ground engaging work I do with my tractor. Thanks. And...

Finished the custom backhoe mount for my prarie dog backhoe. Fits factory Kubota subframe on my L2501

If you can rent a sod cutter it will greatly help in removing the sod. You can scoop it up very easy. After cutting the sod lengthwise run it across every 3 feet to cut the sod into manageable pieces. Also defending on your sub soil you may need a sand base prior to a driveway substrate...

I had a very similar problem with a B2650. Ended up being a small piece of metal that broke from the quick coupler and flowed through the hydraulic line to the valve and lodged there. It took the mechanic a while to find it.

The number on the loader is the lift capacity in Kilograms. I think at the pivot pin. The 2650 is a little beast for its lift capacity compared to the tractor size. It surprises me the actual lift capacity of the 2501, although it can tip easily with a full load of dirt and no counter weight...

This thread is going much better now than I expected. I re-read the original title. "How far is too far?". The answer is when you break something or get hurt going to far. And as this thread points out, many things we purchase are later modified. Many of those items whether it be a car...

I went from a B2650 to an L2501 which was my increase in tractor size. Any bigger would be too big for what I do. I chose to increase my hydraulic pressure and rpms to bring out the full potential of the tractor. Look at the Kioti tractors and the specs. I believe they push them a little...

On my L2501 I added shims a few times and experimented with higher pressures. Last I checked I'm just over 2500 psi. It makes a huge difference in power with the loader. I will say however you need to be careful as it will lift more than the tractor should now. When I use my forks I can...

Hydraulic lines all hooked up and the backhoe works great. Tested hooking up to 3 point. I purchased a bh77 subframe and will now modify the prairie dog backhoe to connect to it. I will post pics when done. Thanks for all the help with hydraulic connections. Purchased everything off the...

That helps thank you very much. After the last few texts I figured it out and the pictures verify everything. I will post pics of the install when done.

Another question. When the backhoe is removed can the lines be "dead ended" or will I need to connect them to keep a loop?

Ok that makes sense. Time to go purchase the hydraulic hoses.
