Adding rear hydraulics to L2250

[bjorn773]

I emailed Nate today and also looked at the add on info in the Kubota parts manual. It sure seems like it would be way more economical to add aftermarket parts. I understand the keeping it all kubota argument, but my machine is close to 30 years old. I just want it functional.

I can sure give an example of a "messy" install... but it works!

Do all three spools feed the rear? Or are you running a grapple on the bucket with one of them?

Yes it sure would be a lot less money going aftermarket, but did you see where you can tap into the rockshaft?

On my L2550 I have a factory rear and it is connected to the valving below the seat and the control is on the right fender. It was never used by the previous owner I assume as the hoses were connected backward to the tractor side when I got it. I will pull the schematic (if it is there) from the shop manual and send it to you by E-mail. Just PM me your address.

I just ordered my service manual yesterday. The pdf parts manual I have consists of very small pictures. I couldn't really tell where it was tapping into the system.

I could run all three to the rear but now the 3rd is for a grapple... Plan to have a cylinder to angle my rear blade someday.

Here's what Gregg sent me. Nate from Messicks is looking to see what is still available. If I can get the piece under the seat to tap into the Hydraulics the rest shouldn't be too difficult.

Remember, this is off my 2550. It may not be the same on a 2250.
