here is one but I don't know what size cat 1 is in the uk plus I don't know how much it is in dollars. on top of that since it is made in the UK the threads are probably backwards![]()

The TnT on my B3350. Kubota doesn't offer TnT for this tractor, though they do offer optional rear hydraulics which is the pricey part. I've moved things some since this picture, turned the top cylinder over so the hoses connect on the bottom and added a pilot operated check valve to the tilt cylinder.
With the back window open on the cab, it's easy to reach in and operate both 3-point and TnT for easy hook up of implements. TnT makes operating with a box scraper so convenient it's almost a must have.

Paul,
I ordered the two rear hydraulic remotes from Kubota (options on the tractor). This is pretty much the only practical way I know of with the cabbed B50 series, as it already has the slots in the cab fender trim on the right side, aft of the 3 point lever, there's not a lot of extra room in the cab for more levers, so things need to come together in a "dense" neat package with appropriate linkage to valves. 'Spose it could be done "build your own" but it would be, umm, more than a little challenging, and certainly much more difficult than on an open station tractor.
The four quick connects on the back are pretty cool, you just shove the connector in and it locks, pull hard and it comes out, so you can't drive away and damage anything when using the remotes for other accessory equipment (not that I'd ever do that). They are located in about the only place they could be, there's not a lot of room that's not spoken for.
Pictures of the control levers are labeled "D" in the brochure at: http://www.kubota.com/product/Brochures/B50/brochure_b50.pdf
Note that it refers to one remote, but they offer the option of one or two.
I bought the top link from Surplus Supply Hydraulics, and the tilt from them too. Had to modify, cut and weld, parts to make the tilt cylinder work. Top was easy, only had to shorten tractor end bushing by about 1/8" per side with an angle grinder (it's hardened steel).

Never came up with a ratchet top link, but I put the box blade on a dolly, that makes it much easier to hook up to the 3 point hitch.![]()
Thanks, that is what I am looking for, can't find it on this side of the pond.
I sent them an e-mail asking if they could sell me one or where to get it over here.
