Thanks for all the help guys. I think it's clear that I have some guck (technical term) in the valves or spools. I have a good friend that is a spectacular HD mechanic that works just down the road that has agreed to tear in to it for me. His tools and experience will all but guarantee...

Update: I had some time to play with it tonight. No solutions yet, but checked a few things and I have a better description of the problem: -I cleaned and reconnected the three fittings on the hoe. -I pulled the boom and dipper relief valves out. They look clean and are not stuck. -I did...

Thanks Wolfman. I was digging into the manuals a little more this evening and discovered the second relief valve. I'll get on that next.

I’ve got a problem and I’m looking for some help. The issue is very weak backhoe on my Kubota L39 TLB. I bought the tractor recently second hand from a non-Kubota dealer with 400 hours on it. It was a trade in from a known customer with no reported issues. It did sit on the lot for some time...

The parts manual will have good information on this. Good luck.

...oh yeah, I forgot to mention. If you decide that you might want to buy a splitter rather than make one, get a Split-fire. Canadian made, very reasonalbly priced, great people to deal with, and it works great. You can get one for about $1000 + freight.

gmtinker, I set up my BX2660 recently for the same. After asking a bunch of questions and doing the research, its really pretty simple. First, you don't need a $400 rear remote kit to do this. Actually, rear remotes are valved outputs and that is not what you want. Don't get me wrong, rear...

Buy and Sell. I'm pretty sure its a scam. At this point I'm just stringing the guy along. I figure the more of his time I waste, the less time he has to scam others. My intention is to arrange a face-to-face, cash-on-the-dash transaction. If that happens, I'm in good shape. Sending away...

I've owned my BX2660 for almost a year now and have educated myself (with your help) about tractors in general and Kubotas in particular. I'm currnently looking at a low hour BX23 that is at a price that sounds too good to be true. Is there anything that wouldn't be obvious that would make...

Vic, here's a picture from the rear and from the right side. I assume this is the right area since this is where the lines for the FEL originate.

That makes sense Vic, but I don't understand why I'd be messing with the FEL control at all. The block at the back is right around where I'd want to connect the splitter. Can't I just work from that point backwards?

Thanks for the explanation. I"ve pretty much decided to go with a Split-fire due to its better build and Canadian origin. I've had a better look at the BX and I'm still a little unclear what to connect to what. I see on the block there are several lines, some that are not even used. How...

I've been quoted $995 plus freight. I'm waiting to hear back if there's a extra charge for painting it "kubota orange". The research I've done on these tells me this is the right product. Its simple, heavy, efficient, and Canadian made. You can email Matt at matt@split-fire.com

Matt from Split-fire got back to me (very quickly) and it turns out that the Split-fire 3203 is NOT too big for me AND its very reasonably priced. I am pretty much sold on the idea of the Split-fire due to its sturdy built...and its Canadian.

I believe the best source for tire chains is tirechains.com. I got a set there for my BX2660 and love them. Shipped quickly, the product is top quality, and they come with great instructions and there is instructional videos on their site. They have many different styles avaiable to match...
