Hydraulic options

[Paul Allwood]

My tractor is a B7200HSTD with a homemade FEL running off the original standard hydraulic pump. Specified hydraulic flow is 4 gpm (15 l/min). With this pump I'm happy with the operating speed of the loader.

I also have a mid-mount finish mower that currently runs from the mid PTO. I'm going to change to a 3 point finish mower so the mid PTO will become available.

Future hydraulic-related plans include:
- Hydraulic steering
- Removable backhoe

I was going to add a pump to the front to run off the crankshaft to run the power steering.

Since then the mid PTO has become available and I've decided to add a backhoe, so maybe this is no longer the best option.

I'm interested in suggestions for what's a good future hydraulics setup.

What's the best use of the existing standard pump ?

What new pump could be added and where ?

It's there a suitable hydraulic schematic somewhere that shows how I should setup the backhoe ?

This obviously won't all happen tomorrow, but thought it might be best to make changes now that lead to a good looking term outcome.

I know this is a lot of stuff and a lot of questions. All help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks as usual.

The front

Another option is to use the money you’d spend for upgrading on buying a second SCUT

If adding a pump front mount all the way. That will also require an additional reservoir and will be independent of tractor hydraulics. You will choose pump size and pressure.

If using the tractor hydraulics the backhoe valve is daisy chained off the loader valve. Your backhoe will have the same 4 GPM flow and pressure as the loader. This is how the vast majority of Kubota OEM hoes are plumbed.
