I ordered this rear remote kit when I bought my tractor. It is a Kubota factory part, but it may not be made by Kubota. The instructions state that it is not compatible with the BH 65 backhoe, but were gonna make it work anyhow. Seriously, I have talked to my serviceman and he says that he has talked with Kubota and they say it will indeed work.
So I took the BH off yesterday and began to figure out how it is hooked up and how the remote valve needs to be plumbed. Long story short is the BH does occupy some of the connections that the valve needs so here is how its gonna go. The BH is currently fed via the PB from the loader valve. I will change that to go to the in of the RRV.(rear remote valve). The return to tank from the RRV is going to its stock location which is available. It is the same return to tank that the LV(loader valve) uses. It must be made into a tee. The PB off the RRV is going to supply the BH. The return off the BH will still go to its stock location which is the inlet to the 3pt. hitch.(which cannot be used while the BH is installed). So, it appears that everything you need is included with the RRV kit if a BH is not installed. In my case it looks like I will either have to splice two hoses together to make the distance from the RRV to the inlet of the BH or have a proper hose made to length. I will still have to have some hoses made up to run from the RRV to the grapple cylinder. I have not bought a grapple yet, but I plan to get the thumb. The 20" model is correct for the Kubota 50" bucket.
FWIW what is included would work, but you would not have enough hose to lower the BH to the ground for disconnecting purposes. I plan to use the remotes to run a front grapple. I'm somewhat torn if this is my best alternative for that purpose, but since I financed it with the tractor I figured I'd go ahead and use what I had rather than starting over.
I included a few pics of the valve and its mounting plate. When I begin the plumbing I will take some more pics and update this thread.
