Kubota M4800- help on rear hyd. install

[jayste]

I have a 2004 M4800 S/U Kubota and want to install rear hydraulics on it. As it stands all I have is the 3PH, no draft and no FEL. Where do I start?
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried your dealer?

Kennyd, No not yet. I was just putting out feelers to see if someone has done this to another M4800. I'm not sure how different it will be from any other Kubota just thought I'd ask.

Jay,

The SU (special utility) was built as a price fighter so it did not have the casting to mount the auxiliary valves.

There is a kidney shaped cover on the side of the transmission that has several drilled and tapped holes behind it - one has to be plugged with a specail plug available from your Kubota dealer. (There is a service bulletin on this)

Of the remaining two ports, one will supply fluid under pressure from the hitch pump and one is the return port. You can now supply an open center valve for auxiliary, loader, log splitter - whatever you need hydraulically.

Again, like Kenny says - go to the dealer and get the special plug part number from the service bulletin and you will be in business.

Good luck!

Yankee Clipper, thanks for the insight. I guess a trip to the local dealer is in store. I kind of thought this tractor was that way. I bought it from my F-I-L who bought it new. He never had need for rear remote but I'd like to have it for future implements. Thanks again.
