    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

    The best use of this function is to set the heel of the bucket on the ground, then roll the toe/blade down, this will level the bucket, then use the float function to clean the ground off going forward without digging.

      Was hoping that might be an option. Dealer always insisted it was self levi g but then this was i reference to the bucket high in the air to stop dumping the load on the driver. I always hoped the bucket could self level on the ground for flattering skimming like a skid steer. Maybe im actually in luck.

    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 RUclips 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
      @MyClutteredGarage  3 года назад

      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
      @craigdreisbach5956 3 года назад +1

      @@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.

  • @randthompson5716
    @randthompson5716 4 года назад +8

    I use it as you've shown for an approximate bucket level indicator. Fine tuning sometimes required. (4in1 combination bucket. For dozer blade pitch but mainly pinch pulling brush, roots, picking rocks, trees or whatever primary adjustment).

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.

    I have seen big commercial earth movers be able to tilt their loader left or right (maybe it was a Bobcat or Skidsteer instead) which seems to make it easier to scrape/level a road or path and have the "extra" material deposited to the side. Are there any accessories or "hacks" that can be done to the loader that might allow for something like that?

    I'm not sure what the purpose of the hidden dump feature is, but it's good to know. My brother has a Kubota B2650 HST so I'll be sure to let him know about that. His backhoe attachment has very little power though and stalls the engine if he tries to dig or pull out shrubs. Maybe there's a "hidden" lever somewhere that will make it dig like a CAT 352F.
    BTW, your video was really well put together and I'm sure helped a lot of people new to small tractors. Kudos!

      Hi Linda. I like my Kubota, but I'm not brand-loyal. I tend to think that you can't really make a bad choice. It's more important to get the right sized machine for your application. I also have 4 acres, and the B2601 is a great fit. There are times I'd like something bigger, but overall its just right. I do much of the same as you, so you may want to consider the LX2601 which offers a bit more capacity and power at the PTO. For me, the Kubota was in the right price range. I also wanted to stay with a trusted name brand for resale value. Good luck with your search! Join us Mondays at 7pm Eastern time for an interactive livestream.

      If you have not bought yet my advise is to drive all the brands. I borrowed my neighbor's Kubota to spread a load of shell rock on my driveway. My right leg was worn out by the time I got done from having to hold my foot up to work the foot treadle. I then bought my own John Deere 1023E. It has two pedals side by side, the inside pedal is forward and the other back. Much easier on my leg and foot. Also look for differences in like models. The JD 1025R was just a few thousand more but had features like a suspension seat and tilt steering wheel. Also a position set on the power lift instead of a simple raise or lower.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great video, I guess I didn't catch your name. This is a features that is actually on the BX as well, but like yourself and the vast majority of people it get overlooked. I found it on the BX I had by accident. So I think this is sort of a float with light pressure but to get full pressure you have to go all the way. I now have the same machine you have here the B2601 with the backhoe and truly love the machine. I makes the BX feel like a toy I hate to say. BUt it is an amazing machine and just does things so so little effort in comparison.

    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.

    It is not a slower function the have that on the compact tractors so when loading the bucket you don't dig holes by pushing past r1 it closes the relief valve and lets more pressure into cylinders

    • @Henning_S.
      @Henning_S. 3 года назад +6

      Nope, it is always the same pressure, it just uses more area of the hydraulic cylinder.
      In R1 there is pressure on both sides of the piston, it moves out pretty fast because the pushing side has more surface area than the pulling side, and because the oil lines are connected, the oil which gets pushed out of the pulling side of the cylinder travels through the lines to the pushing side and makes the movement quicker.
      In R2 there is only pressure on the pushing side of the piston and the oil which gets pushed out of the pulling side of the cylinder gets drained into the oil reservoir, so the whole surface area of the piston is used to push, which is making it slow but powerful.

    • @Henning_S.
      @Henning_S. 3 года назад

      @@DeanLangley I am sure it works like this!
      Of course it would also be possible to do this with a flow limiter, but that would be very inefficient and you can also use the regular valve to reduce the speed by just moving the lever a little bit.
      It is better and easier to use the full oil flow for the slow and powerful movement and just connect the oil pressure to both ends of the cylinder to allow an extra fast movement.
      They do the same on high quality log splitters to move the piston very quick to the wood and then you switch to the slow and powerful "gear" to split the wood, sometimes they even switch automatically from fast to slow when they touch the wood, That can be done with a simple check valve and a pressure relief valve which is set to a pretty low pressure which is just above the pressure which is needed to move the piston without any load.
      Some power steerings also work with this principle, just for another reason: since these double acting cylinders always move retract faster than they push, they connect both lines for the push stroke to make it exactly as fast as the retracting stroke.
      Of course they need special double acting cylinders with a piston rod that has exactly half the surface area of the actual piston.
      Of course that is not necessary when a cylinder with rods on both sides is used...
