General Operations FILLING THE BUCKET Control the bucket attitude throughout the digging cycle to keep teeth at the proper angle for best penetration. This will minimize dragging and scraping the bucket through the ground. When digging in hard-packed soil, bucket penetration can be increased by applying down pressure with the boom while crowding in[...]

General Operations SIDE SLOPE EXCA V A TING OR TRENCHING Dig with the backhoe uphill whenever possible. Level the backhoe on slopes with the stabilizers to dig plumb trenches, or use the backhoe or loader to cut a level slot for the uphill wheel and stabilizer . Pile the spoil from the slot on the low side. When on the side of a steep slope, cut a [...]

Figure 18 32 valve or other accessory valve is connected to the tractor system, and whether the tractor has an open- center system (constant pumping of oil to control valve and back to reservoir) or a closed-center sys- tem (no flow of oil until there is a demand at one hydraulic cylinder). The four hook-up methods are described below. IMPORTANT: F[...]

33 Since the Power Beyond Kit is used with open-cen- ter tractor hydraulic systems, oil constantly flows from the pump, through the backhoe valve and the loader valve or other accessory valve, and then to the reservoir. See further in this manual for instruc- tions on proper assembly. 2. CLOSED CENTER SYSTEM: (2165) Because a closed-center system r[...]

Hydraulic Hook-Up (2175, 2185, 2195) For Tractors With Closed-Center Hydraulic Systems (Figure 21) There are two basic types of hydraulic systems, open- center and closed-center. The open-center system con- stantly pumps oil through the hydraulic cylinder operat- ing valves and returns the oil to the reservoir. The closed-center system does not pum[...]

35 POWER BEYOND KITS FOR TRACTORS WITH OPEN-CENTER HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS General Description A power beyond application is required to convert a hydraulic valve so that pressurized oil can be directed to another “open center” valve. This allows the back- hoe valve and a loader valve, or other accessory , to be connected to the tractor hydraulic sys[...]
