46A loader

[Traviss]

Have a 3010 with a 46a loader. Is there hand controls levers
we can get for it? Been using the levers on the tractor and we
dont have much bucket control. Any help would be
appreciated!

You can get a joystick or 2 lever valve from Surplus Center or Bailey Hyd's. Be sure to get a closed-center type or a CC plug. Here's photo's on attaching valve to tractor

I have two 46A loaders and have cross valves on both of them. Any farm supply store will have the valve and we made a stand to mount it on.Just hook it up like TxJim said.

Tom is there a chance you might have a picture of what it looks like? Trying to visualize but having a hard time doing so! Thanks!

Should i add a pressure relief with the new valve? Been blowing lines. Had 4000 psi hose in it. Replaced it with 5000psi hose. Does anyone know what pressure it should put out. Thanks Travis

Closed center hyd system factory setting for 3010 is 2250 psi. Closed center needs no pressure relief valve on FEL control valve.

Thank you Jim. If you dont mind me asking what do you think
of the cross valve idea that i can get at a tsc store.

Most any 2 spool closed center valve will be fine especially if the GPM of valve is correct for your tractor.

 

[Traviss]

I really need some education on this! How do you find out
what GPM the tractor has. And where would i find out thid
information

 

[Tx Jim]

JD 3010 tech manual. Tractordata.com shows 18 GPM for a 3020 but no listing for 3010
