L3200/3800/3301/3901 Rear Hydraulic Remotes Install Corrections/Hints

rturner98 · Jun 19, 2016

Hello s219,

I am doing the rear remote installation on my L3800 today. Going great with your early inputs. I have a 3rd function valve installed. Now I am trying to determine the best routing for my hoses. Do you have any suggestions?

Should I tee my input line into my FEL or run from 3rd function PB to my rear remotes in a continues loop?

I went from my FEL to the remote manifold, then back to my 3rd function. Just worked the best with the supplied hoses.

It really depends on the types of valves -- if they can pass the PB loop then order isn't so important and I'd let convenience dictate. I'd prefer keeping one continuous PB loop myself, rather than using a tee. Only requirement is that the 3-pt hitch be last in line before the tank.

What's your reasoning for this requirement?

Thanks.

Eta,

Or are you saying because it must be, as dictated by the tractors design?

3pt hitches typically dump straight to the tank internally & have no PB output that is usable.

Also, you can't T a PB loop. It needs to be a loop or it won't work. Read up on Power Beyond & open center hydraulics. There are a ton of good posts on here explaining it & how it works.

Which is what my understanding was, but the comment I inquired about was kind of counter intuitive as most 3 point cylinders aren't just required to be last, but are necessarily last by design.

I did not tee my PB line. My PB route; FEL -> rear remotes -> 3rd function valve -> tank

My kit just arrived and plan to install in the next week or two, I want to thank S219 for this post, it sure is gonna be helpful, as Kubota still has all the instructions with the errors mentioned.

It interferes when the 3 point control lever is in the "up" and the remote lever is operated in the "down" direction.

They meet end to end so that neither can achieve full range of motion within their own operational ranges.

I'm going to have to remove the remote control lever and bend it to make it all work without interference, which after all the other issues, is not surprising in the least.

Did you ever resolve this? I seem to have the same issue....

It clears (barely)if you push it all the way driver side in the track.

I did not, and actually, your controls seem to have been revised, as mine are round and cannot be operated to one side or the other of the 3 point control.

I'm guessing they now make them flat so that they can at least have full range of motion without interference, though they are still very awkward to operate, it would seem.
