I'm just re-familiarizing myself with the Kubota Grand L's, and saw that the 3540 has an optional 3rd fxn valve on the loader. I'd like to be able to operate a hydraulic PHD, and was wondering if that valve is sufficient. I know the Long version says it is only for a 4n1, and not for motors, and was wondering if that was also true of the Kubota. Is the 3rd function a lower flow valve?

If the Kubota 3rd fxn won't work for a bucket mounted auger, then I assume I'll need a remote valve (or two?).

The build your own fxn lists a lot of valve options. Is there somewhere I can read up on these? A search didn't turn up any threads to help explain the difference between 1) FD with lever kit and 1) Standard valve with lever kit, or a combination of FD and Standard valves. I am not even sure what FD means.

Thanks,
Todd

Wrong place to ask?

I actually managed to find out the FD is float valves. Still haven't figured out if I'd need one or two for an auger, or if the third function toggle could opperate one.
