I am not sure where the relief valve would be on the B7500? I shimmed my relief valve "L3800". The valve was on the bottom of the hydraulic block mounted under the right foot well. All of the supply hoses are distributed from the block to the hoe and FEL. I bumped mine up to 2700PSI and what a...

Thought I would try to post some photos. So hear is my Hitch receiver made from 1/4" plate. Attaches to my FEL with two 1/2" bolts and wing nuts. The lip is bent over the cutting edge for support. This takes about one minute to install. have used it to move up to 10,000lb trailers.

Today I shimmed my PRV to bump the pressure up from 2400PSI to 2700PSI. I wanted to improve the lift capacity with my forks. I know the max. lift before the change and hope to determine the difference in the next couple of days. I also filled the rear tires with 26 Gal. of Windshield fluid.

I agree that a tube would be better in this situation however I have had many punctures and never had a bead pop. I would think if you had a hole in a loaded tire, tubeless would be easier to repair than a tire with a tube. Many times I have found a leak in a tire and with a commercial plug kit...

I think I can handle the pressure check myself rather than drag everything to the dealer. If the pressure is not to spec. than I will have to visit the dealer and have them shim it or what ever needs to be done. I only have a couple of hours on the tractor, so I would rather have them deal with...

Thanks for the help. How do you go about checking the pressure?

Had to go with the SS bucket so I can use forks, never thought about the bucket being more forward. This forum is great, if I could have thought of all the questions before the purchase!!

Bluegill, Do you have the larger SS style bucket or the standard. I thought it may be due to the larger bucket?

My loader seams to be on the weak side. I have heard there is a way to boost the pressure to gain additional lifting capacity? Also I have heard that changes to the pressure may void the warranty. Any thoughts or suggestions? Should I ask the dealer to make the changes? Jeff

FYI 18' Beaver tail #9990 GVW pulls like a dream, just the right tongue weight! I am pulling it with a "13" Chevy 2500.

The 18' will give you additional room to adjust your load, if you get the lighter trailer you will wish you got the bigger one later. This dealer has some of the best prices in central PA. I bought a 16' enclosed work trailer from them.

It was $3500+ tax and tags. I could have found a better deal if I had the time to shop around. I needed to complete the transaction for the tractor and trailer before the end of my fiscal year.

I just bought a CarMate #10000GVW 18' beavertail for my L3800. I have the LA524 loader and B77 Hoe. Dealer called today to let me know the trailer is in, can't wait to get it so I can move my tractor. Everyone I talked with recommended 18' Min. with most saying to get the 20'. I did fit the...
