How to hook up excavator hydraulics

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Nice clean job. I love that bucket, a bit big for my machine, but thats about what I need to get for cleaning out our roadside ditches.

[@lakelifecraftsman]

Well done on the hook ups. Tilt bucket is next purchase for my 121 for sure.

Thank you, I love the tilt bucket so far

How are your diverters holding up? Just ordered my bucket and looking to do the same thing you did.

[@srmcontracting]

Yes, just add some loctite to the bolt that holds the lever on. It can vibrate lose and the handle can fall off.

I have a similar machine but it's a kx161-3 super series. Are you able to change this machine to a one way flow for a brush cutter so you can use the trigger? Can you make a how to video on that?

Where did you get that diverter valve? I need two for my JD 50D

Great video brother

I'm having a hard time finding the fittings to mate with Kubota's hard pipe threads. Can you share the size you used for your diverter to join OEM hard piped orange line?

[@srmcontracting]

They are 1/2" NPT, (which actually measures closer to 7/8). Here's a link of the coupler fittings I ordered from Amazon. Let me know if you have any more questions.

How is the bucket holding up?

[@srmcontracting]

Its still working like new, it really comes in handy.

[@ZR1Terror]

Wow, I need to do that on my U25!!! How do you bleed out the air from the hydraulic lines once you put it back together.

[@srmcontracting]

You just need to move the hydraulics around. Fully extend and fully compress the cylinders. Thanks for watching!

[@theoutsidertv]

I have a couple of questions. What brand of knuckle and bucket is that? Where did you get it? What size machine? 121? What size bucket?

[@srmcontracting]

The bucket is from Mongo Attachments, its a 44" tilt bucket. mongoattachments.com Jordan is the contact, he's a good guy to work with. My machine is KX91

[@ashtonchaffo1611]

What diverters are those?

[@srmcontracting]

I ordered them off Amazon. Here's a link www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0919DK1RZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

[@rr3102]

What did you pay for your tilt bucket?

[@srmcontracting]

Check out Mongo Attachments, It was around $4k

[@justinncherish]

Good job. I made a video for my VIO55
