Add a rear remote to a Kubota L4310

[thendrix]

So pump pressure isn't what you're using but it's what you have available and how much a valve is allowed depends on what is before that valve in the circuit. Correct?

Yes.

A valve directs fluid to where it is needed.

When the flow meets resistance, pressure is developed. A light load might only develop 1500 psi.

A bucket of dirt might develop 2500 psi.

Valves upstream have priority.

Just go to Surplus and purchase a 2 or 3 spool valve with the options you want for your new projects, like float, detent, maybe a motor spool , etc.

You will come out money ahead if you can turn a wrench.

I'd like to add 3 remotes to my L4330. Is it possible to install the 3 spool valve (from SC) and the mount for the rear remotes QD's and then take the tractor to a hydraulic hose shop and have them fab all the hoses and install them including the QDs and the supply and return lines? Has anyone ever done this, and if so, how did it turn out?

Hopefully not a hijack.

Thanks,

Seems like it should be fine. The guy that makes hoses for me just needs the length and the fitting type and size

Ok. I'm back. I looked the tractor over and in the line going to the 3pt there is a quick disconnect. I'm guessing this is where the remote would be had the tractor been bought with the option. I'm assuming if I buy a 2 spool valve and a power beyond sleeve I would use the power beyond sleeve to continue the path to the 3pt and ultimately to the tank. Then plug the return port on the new valve . Correct?

JJ already answered the previous question. I guess I should refresh my memory before asking redundant questions. Thanks to all. I guess I'll be trying my hand at hydraulics before to long

Here is how kubota does it. You can get some ideals from it and see where they pick up hyd.

Why all the recommendations to jury-rig aftermarket valves when factor remotes are available?

Just go get what you need from Kubota. They bolt right up and look like they belong (because they do). I can see aftermarket make-shift solutions when that is the only thing available... but when there is a factor valve designed for your tractor, that is going to be the best solution.

You bet that is the way to go!!!

When using PB, all tank lines go to tank.
