Do you know all the functions of your front end loader? I thought I did until I discovered one "hidden" feature. Ok, maybe not hidden, but there's a good chance that you don't know about it. I hope you enjoy this front end loader tip!

On your Kubota the first control handle position (fast ) dump takes the oil coming out of the bottom of your tip cylinders and ADDS it to the oil going into the other end . This makes the cylinder move much faster but cylinder force is then (piston end diameter area minus rod end diameter area) so it won’t pick up the tractor. The “hidden function “ lets the cylinder rod end oil go directly back to the oil tank and the cylinder piston end gets full system pressure. (Slower but more force) The fast cylinder movement is called a regeneration circuit if anyone wants to better understand it.

I have the 2023 JD1025R, when I was using my grappler to clear my woods, I kept running into this 'Hidden' feature of my loader. Until I watched your clip, I wasn't even aware of what was happening to my loader. I thought it was a flaw in my hydraulics. Heaven knows the Little guy is underpowered in trying to do two functions at once! So I really was flummoxed at how to get the grappler to lift & curl without having to wait for it to finish a very slow movement then activate the second movement

@mrbmp09 Ай бұрын

The actual reason the tractor can't pick itself up is NOT because it lacks power. It is because the hydraulic lift cylinders are at the end of their stroke and simply cannot move any farther. Watch the cylinder above the front tire, you can see it is fully retracted. By dumping the bucket first you are adding downward reach. You can confirm this by placing blocks or logs or a pile of dirt under the fully curled up bucket then lower the loader (handle forward). The front wheels will lift up approximately equal to the height of the objects placed under the bucket. .

Question? Did you compared yours with the BX23s, prior to buy it? I'm on the fence, between both models. I can't have a too heavy tractor, my ground is very soft, specialy during rain season, but I hate the ground clearance and FL lifting capacity on the BX23s. I never seen both models side by side , with Backhoe,Loader & Belly mower, to compare sizes. Price is crazy too on the B2601. Apreciate your imput.

@kagnewmp12 3 жыл бұрын

I'm glad I found this cause I tried to raise my tires off the ground with the bucket flat to no avail but thanks to you I figured it out. I wanted to mention something else about our BX tractors and it's about attaching a BXxpanded Under Armor skid plate. I don't have a mower deck on my 1880 so when I attempted to lower my mounting arms they simply would not drop down and I tried over and over. The solution came from watching an old video and what the guy had to do was just grab the arms and pull them down. It just didn't have enough weight to drop by themselves. A simple solution to a simple problem.

Just discovered your channel today and subscribed. What I learned from Good Works Tractor is that 75% of the grapples he has sold in the last year is the the Brush Crusher by Westendorf. The power beyond kit was no longer available for my JD 1070 (1990) and so adding the 3rd function would cost an additional $1,000 to the cost of a usual grapple. The Brush Crusher doesn't require any other hydraulics other than raise/lower/curl/dump. I was skeptical at first, but the KZfaq videos were convincing. I purchased one in April and it's fantastic. I am not affiliated with Westendorf or Good Works Tractor. Keep up the great work. Kind Regards, Craig

@MyClutteredGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Craig. I appreciate your comments. I've seen a few videos with the Brush Crusher but honestly haven't given it that much attention. I guess it works like a manual "thumb" on a backhoe? I've been chatting with Good Works about joining one of my livestreams. Hoping we can coordinate it by the end of summer or fall, so stay tuned! Thank you. -Ed

@craigdreisbach5956 2 жыл бұрын

@@MyClutteredGarage Actually it duplicates the thumb by using the stock mechanical arms of the loader such that it changes the crushing pressure depending on the curl position of the bucket. It's kind of a "gee whiz" thing, like "how did they think of that". As you lift the bucket and "curl" it in, the mechanical arms cause the upper and lower jaws to encircle the brush, limbs or branches. It kind of baffles my mind on who could think of it. It's available in black, kubota orange and john deere green. So ultimately, you're only using your normal bucket controls, but it acts like you have a thumb or third function. It saved me the hassle of playing with the hydraulic hoses and a diverter valve, and also the additional expense. I really enjoy your channel and feel we're like minded in our approach to things. I live in Vermont on 128 wooded acres and uneven landscape so cutting up downed trees and using a grapple has been lifesaving for my back, etc. Kind regards, Craig

Very nice presentation.. Never my main job, but spent a lot of years in the fertilizer business. Front end loaders were used many hours to move the fertilizers from the bins to the mixer. This "hidden function" wasn't on any of our loaders to my knowledge. I can see it would make the job easier to have the proper angle on the lower part of the bucket so you get a full bucket each time. The key is to have the bottom of the bucket as close to parallel the floor (ground) as possible for maximum efficiency.

@MrTks1959 3 жыл бұрын

I've known about the intermediate position on the dump function, but I never thought about using it with the bucket on the ground the way you described it. I always just thought about it as Fast Dump and Slow Dump. Because all the hydraulic functions on the loader use the same pump (I would have to go back to the manual to confirm that), you should be able to slow the grapple by combining the action with other loader functions.

Good teaching. Thanks

Seems like that feature could be good for dump spreading gravel/dirt

It's called regenerative hydraulics. you have a valve block with a regen circuit, either in the spool valve or external. It allows a smaller pump to increase ram speed on extension.

First position is regenerative or "quick dump" which is where pressure is directed to both sides of the cylinders. Since the side that doesn't have the rod has more surface area it extends the cylinder. What ends up happening is the fluid from the rod end goes to the valve then to the other side of the cylinders instead of going to the tank as normal, thus extending the cylinder faster. This is so the weight of the load doesn't dump the bucket faster than the hydraulics, but isn't as strong as it would be without the quick dump. With quick dump it's only going to be as strong as a cylinder that's the diameter of the rod. The second position is the normal extend function. Not all tractors have this. My MX5200 has quick dump but not the second position, and I have no trouble lifting my tractor with the dump function.

I have a Legrand L 3450 and I have a frame mounted fron blade for smoothing dirt and plowing snow. I couldn't get it to angle to the right and that's when I found out about the detent valve. Now that I know about it I can swing my blade from side to side easily. I love my tractor and I love my blade as I can manipulate snow right where I want it. Then with 2 pins ilock the tripping part and it turns it into a solid blade for dirt. I can actually get the pot holes out of my driveway when I catch it early in the year. Otherwise my driveway gets so hard that with down pressure and front end off the ground I just scrap about 1/4 of an inch at a time. Box scraper won't break through but backhoe will. Lol.. thanks for the tip. I had to have a service call to find it out.

Huh, I started watching thinking “what could he possibly teach me about a tractor loader that I don’t already know” well, I was completely wrong. I never knew that was there and am glad to have that stashed away in my bag of tricks now. Great video sir!

Thanks for the info, I’ll have to try my BX23s tomorrow. My 3rd function works a little different, on button like yours and one button, you hold the button and move the stick left or right and it closes the grapple (my favorite attachment too!) release the button and you get the curl function.
