Kubota B2920 Custom Rear Hyd Mount

[kbuckert]

I didnt like how the factory rear hyd valve from Kubota was supposed to be mounted on the ROPS for the Kubota B2920. After mounting on the rops, it blocks a significant amount of viewing angle and every time that I was using the 3pt or 4wd, my elbow would hit. Also, if the fittings ever leak - they drip right onto the fender and to the light (a very poor design in my opinion - but probably very cheap as it is universal)

The mount is made out of 3/8" steel welded 2 pieces together to match the angle of the rops on the inside of the fender, then parallel to the fender for the valve mounting plate. Once I had the valve mounted and it all clearing the 3pt and fender - I custom made the handle to come up through the blank panel on the fender so the lever was in a common location and easy to manipulate.

Since I had all of the stock lines that came with the valve, I simply had them shortened to the lengths that I needed and then installed the ends on them. I only spent ~$60 in additional fittings and everything else I had laying around. The extra length that I had also worked out just right for the hoses for the Hyd top link that is also installed.

I also added a hyd top link as can be seen in the pictures and video's.

WOW,,,,THAT IS PERFECT,,,,I have the same tractor, I had the PB installed last week, and ordered a 2 spool valve from Surplus (here Monday), and a top link from agrisupply this morning,,,,so you've answered A LOT of my questions.

the dealer ran my tank return under the sea though, a little different, did you allow for a BH to be run off your remote or a splitter?, I have a rear blower and was thinking about a chute rotator

THANK YOU:thumbsup:

In the top pic you have the bracket mounted to the outside of the ROPS, then later it's mounted down low behind the seat, Is that the factory remote and bracket or aftermarket?

I do not have a back-hoe, so I was not concerned with running anything for mounts or lines through that area. I really havnt even looked at one with a BH on it closely - so I dont know if it would interfere or not.

As for the Pics - the 1st two pictures are the 'stock' mounting location of the Kubota factory valve. I moved mounting location to what is seen in all of the remaining pictures. I built the bracket myself, including the handle and linkage to operate the valve.

The hyd top link works wonders with a box blade....
