MX5100 Rear Remote Float Valve

[s219]

I know on my L, there isn't room for float (or any detent valve with the longer spool) in the first position up against the rear case. And then space limits you to three stacked between the case and fender. The other gotcha I found is that the hoses need to be carefully routed to allow the float lever to pivot all the way into detent. So space is definitely a factor.

The L kit allows float/detent valves in both 2nd and 3rd positions. I can't see why it would be different for the MX unless some other component was in the way.

Your L must be different than my L5240 HSTC. I have float in position 1 & 2.

Heck yea, you have a Grand L. Everything is better on a Grand L!

Ah, I see.. Didn't know when it changed.. I would think the mx would be close to mine but really depends on the 3pt cover casting if it can fit.

From my understanding, the MX5100 is not based on the M series frame, but the L series frame. I would definitely like at lease two float valve and would prefer it in the 1st and 2nd. The third would be for the angle of my scrape blade. I'll take a look at the picture you posted C4Ranch and do some calculations. A guess really.

I guess that is why most the guys here go with after market stuff.

With the current Kubota build program, the Grand L 60s can now have 3 float valves, but the Mxs can only have the 2nd valve with the float function, according to Kubota that is.

I e-mailed Kubota about the float valve dilemma. They neither confirmed nor denied my "assumption" about having at lease two float valve in the second and third position. Since the first position is physically impossible for a float valve height.

The did replied back that the new MX5200 can have up to two float valve with it's new kit and valve setup. That same setup can be used on the MX5100, but the valves are not interchangeable from old to new, they say. I don't see me spending money to revamp a system I already have.

Does any one know or have any experience with the L8304 float valve, especially experimenting with putting two of them in the second and third position on the remote setup? No crazy dealer who was asked to try this setup out for a customer?

I've heard on here that the MX is based of the old L30.

That is how my L40 was, the 2nd and 3rd could have float. Guess what valve has the float on it, #1.

If you're set on having multiple floaters, I'd just get one OEM float then run an diverter off that and you can have as many floats as you want.
