Hydraulic Pressure Test & Adjust Kit for Kubota BX, B, LX and L Series

I used this kit to quickly and easily adjust the pressure on my B2650. Mine seamed to be weak, so using this kit I verified that the hydraulics were set at the very bottom of the pressure range. There were no shims from the factory, so after inspection the pressure and referring to the work shop manual I added shims to bring the pressure up to the high end of the approved range. This made a really big change in loader performance! If you have a BX or a B unit, you really owe it to yourself to get this kit and bring your machine up to it's performance potential. This is the best $69 that you'll invest in your tractor accessories! Order it, trust me... You'll love it!

Bought my BX back in 2007 and have over 600hrs on it. So glad I got this kit over others online. Everything is included, good instructions, nice packaging. Fixed my pressure and got it back in range in about 20 minutes.

Although the original kit wasn't specifically designed for my tractor/loader/backhoe (Kubota L3700SU/BH77/LA463) combination, I ordered it anyway and locally picked up the larger (3/8") quick connect coupler and 1/4" to 3/8" inch adapter. With the easy to follow directions and a little insight from the BXPANDED.com team, I was able to quickly install the pressure gauge, verify that my tractor had never been performing to its potential, then proceeded quickly to shim the relief valve to put it in spec. I haven't yet reattached my backhoe but the loader finally digs into a pile of gravel without hesitation, then lifts and rotates as I always thought it should. If you don't have this kit, or haven't checked your pressure settings, you are probably missing out. I feel this kit saved me many thousands of dollars because I had been considering a new tractor to to the work this one should have been able to do all along. Great kit, great buying experience, and I am a customer for life. Now... just have to decide which of their tools I need next!!

The kit took less than 5 minutes to hook up, test and shim. The backhoe and front end loader will have to be completely unattached from the tractor to do this. Don’t waste time trying to jiggle past the FEL arms. Drop the loader and back away from it. Total project time was about 20 minutes, but 15 of that was unhooking and reconnecting the backhoe and FEL. I also saw and felt a noticeable difference in the speed of the hydraulics, and most of the whine is gone now. My tractor is 7 months old with a 50 hour service done by Kubota, and I was roughly 1600psi from the factory. Well worth it in my opinion!!

why can you not use this on a BX2200 or BX22??&return&&newline&&return&&newline&The hydraulic connections on the BX22 and BX2200 are different than later BX models as the loader valve comes off the machine when the loader is removed. (there are a few exceptions). Kubota also used several different quick connects on these models and we have not been able to obtain matching couplings.&return&&newline&The tester can be used with these machines, but it does take some additional steps. We can provide instructions for this application, but more work is required so we don't list it as compatible.&return&&newline&BXpanded

Shipped right away, nicely put together kit with instructions that were clear and thorough. A quick and simply fix to bring my machine back up to spec.

I just used the kit to check the pressure on my BX25D and as expected found it was significantly below spec. The process of adding shims was quick and easy (good directions included). Set pressure at 1800 psi. What a difference! The loader, with the bucket expander, is much more powerful. Making faster work of my 35 cu yd pile of mulch. Great tool and a great result. Money well spent.

Tester works great ,Loader is amazing since i ajusted the pressure!!!

Simple adjustment of the loader pressure on my kubota B2650. Mine was 2250 at idle and 2300 at wot. Added a .3mm shim to relief valve and it's now just over 2400 at wot. WSM says to set between 2400 to 2450 psi. Bonus for me was a reduction in pump whine which if you own one of these is much appreciated. Couple notes: the 22mm nut is not torqued much as it seals with an oring, and you only lose an once of fluid when removed. Happy with results and can also check and adjust in future if needed.

This kit, and it's instructions, were just what I was looking for to improve the lift capability of the front end loader on my BX23s. Since new, it could barely lift a full bucket of damp Soil or Road base. Now it handles both with more ease. I settled for 2100 psi. You do need to disconnect the front end loader from the tractor and back up just enough to release the hydraulic coupling so that you can fit the included pressure gauge. I left the backhoe connected and had enough access to removed and install the pressure regulator plug using a socket and extension. Don't drop the spring which is contained inside the plug! I didn't, but could easily imaging what a pain that might be. Took me about an hour all up.

Glad I bought this, my new BX23S was 150lbs low on hydraulic pressure, not hard to fix with this kit and instructions, the 17mm socket can be substituted with a 7/8 socket.

Great product! I was able to adjust my hydraulic pressure from 1750 psi to 2100 psi in a total of 15 minutes. Start to finish! (After warming up my hyd. system. I should have done this years ago!

The kit really woke up the loader. It’s quicker and stronger now. Just doesn’t feel anemic any more. I love it now. B2601. I am extremely happy with the response and how you guys handled sending the different fitting as I had the new flat style fitting. The guy on the phone was very helpful and kind. Also sent the fitting very fast.

Works great, dialed my pressure in to exactly what I needed after Ryan helped with a small problem.

Received this a few weeks ago and finally had the time to test my hydraulic pressure on my Kubota L3301. This was as easy as it gets. The pleasure and satisfaction comes from knowing that my hydraulic pressure was set correctly. Took only a few minutes to do, once the hydraulics were up to normal operating temp. Reading the instructions seemed a bit vague when I first read them (weeks ago) but at the tractor it becomes perfectly clear. On my L3301 the connection of the gauge was quick and simple, although I now know I need to stuff a rag around the hydraulic connector I disconnect as it dribbled a bit more than I anticipated, although still not more than a minor nuisance. Excellent product, good instructions, and satisfaction in the knowledge of the actual pressure. No adjustment needed as Kubota had the pressure set to within 25 psi of the specified maximum.

This is the tool you need ! So easy to do and that wake up your tractor with ease. Pressure was at 1750 psi, added shims to set it to 2075 psi on my 2022 BX23s. The backhoe is now at what I expected for a while. Don't hesitate do buy it. It's easy and worth more the money!
