Kubota L3430 HSTC Remote hydraulic install advise

[jca57jd]

Hey guys,
Im new to this form and have spent the past day reading all around this site. I have been looking real hard at all sorts of the remote, top n tilt postings. I am very interested in installing this on my tractor. I have called Some of my dealers for the kit and the lowest ive been priced is $1600. Im planning on installing 3 sets of remotes and installing them myself. I plan on useing them for top n tilt. The main problem ive ran into is that i have a cab so i dont know what to do besides buy the Kubota kit. Im not a hydrolic expert but i know i can install every thing my self. Have any of you installed any remotes on a kubots L series with a cab before? Please give me any advice you have!
Thanks Guys. Oh and by the way this forum is awsome and full of great and helpful people!

Welcome to TBN JCA

You are certainly correct that the cab complicates things, I have no good advice for you. I am afraid by the time you source a valve-probably cable operated so it's not in the cab, all the hardware that you would need, then all the hoses/fittings to get it hooked up...you may approach the cost of the OEM option and it will not look as good certainly. Tough call on this one

Thanks kenny.
I have noticed that all of the top n tilt threads i have read have involved your great expertise. I guess ill have to go with the factory parts. Thanks again

The remote installation on your L3430 Cab uses the same components as my ROPS L3130. There is a first position kit which includes the plumbing pieces necessary to mount the remotes, the valve and the QD mounts and hoses. The second and third position remotes requires the appropriate stack kit and the valve each. The second and third remote are cheaper, about 2/3rds the cost of the first for each. Some dealer have charged the same price for each.


I know my dealer tried that when I was negotiating the price on mine It is a shame you didn't buy this when you bought the tractor as it can be much cheaper then.

A suggestion, when you do this jack up the right side and remove the rim and tire. It will give you more room to work.
