When I looked at Kiotis, they had a rear lever for the 3pt control, so you could reach it while standing at the back of the tractor.
Anybody been able to fugure out how to add that to a Kubota Grand-L?

About the second valve for rear implement hitch;


I dont think the second valve would play nice with the
radial piston or gear pump on the Kubota tractor as it
is a closed hydraulic system within the rear end and
the transmission.

You would need the hydraulic schematic to see if
it is even a remote possibility. Please forgive the pun.

I think it would be a good idea. Hmmm, a new project. I think you could just tie in to the existing lever with a rod to the back. Add a second lever and walla. It would make hooking up a three point implement easier.

It has been done and I've seen a picture, I think here on TBN, but I can't find the thread. I plan on adding it to my tractor.

My Kioti does, in fact, connect to the existing 3 pt height lever mechanically. And you're right, it does make it so easy to hook something like a disc hay cutter, which can be so frustrating that people pay $3500 for a dolly for them, often just to make it easier to hook up.

I also have a Montana, which I'd like to mod up the same, as well as find some telescoping lift arms, and the easy adjusting lower link stabilizers that the Kioti has.

Project Done. A piece of 3/16x1 steel, a 1/4x3/8x1/2 bushing, a hitch pin clip, a 1/4 steel dowel, and a 1/4 nut and bolt. Took more time to do the pictures than the rear three point lever.

This is the ones I put on right after I got my L4240. Lost the use of the so called tool box, but wasn't using anyway.
