B2650 Remote hydraulic valve kit

[coupman35]

Oh my goodness! I have a BX2380 and an L6060 with rear remote hydraulics and they are very well designed and tidy looking. The set up in the picture looks like the Russians hacked into the designers brains! Thanks for the link to the picture. I can see why Kubota doesn't show that anywhere in there information on the B2650.

Yep it don't look good .

LT, could you post some pics of how the valves are mounted and the lines on you BX. I have a BX23S, and Kubota just said it wasn't engineered for it. I have heard both that the frame for the backhoe is in the way, and a dealer just said it doesn't have a way to get hydraulic fluid to the valve, but that the frame isn't the issue. I wouldn't be likely to use it when the backhoe is on it, as I have gotten used to the manual thumb. I would like to see how it is fit onto your BX2380, as it is a sister to my BX23S. I would like to run a top and tilt arrangement when the hoe is off, but would like to have my levers in the slots that Kubota provides on the right side, and not have to resort to cable or micro-switches to actuate the valves. It seems like it might just be a matter of tying into the Power Beyond circuit in series, but so far, information is hard to come by. If worse came to worse, I might resort to buying the kt and moving it onto a custom bracket, and use some links to use the factory levers. Hard lines or hoses would obviously have to be fabricated to fit, but that is a lesser issue.

I do not know why it isn't engineered for adding the remote hydraulic valve kit. I have a picture that shows the coupler location and the operating levers, the valves are mounted on the right hand side of the transmission housing behind the rear wheel.

When I bought my B2650 in January of this year, the salesman told me that Kubota didn't make a rear remote for that model. I just figured he didn't know what he was talking about, and I'd get it later. Sure seems strange to me now as well as then.

This is what it will look like
And it痴 actually over 1200 with tax

What a Rube Goldberg.

Fortunately, I do not need remotes on my B3350 ROPS and did not order any.

I did order the third function valve, which is well designed and implemented.

Thanks LT, I have seen the outlets, but the I was wondering if you had any pics of the actual valve under the fender area on the 80 series. Is it the same kit as the 70 series? It is cheap enough that I would entertain getting the kit and and then working though the hose/pipe issue and having the outlets come out the right side of the ROPS and maybe space out the lights an inch. I could integrate a light guard and put LED bulbs in, which should alleviate any vibration issues from the valves actuating. I am going to have to look under and take pics of the area under mine, as there isn't a lot about that area on the BX23S.

In case anyone didn稚 follow the other threads.

This is the 3 spool valve I mounted to my b2650. 10x better than kubota option for less than 250$

I haven稚 got around to making handles yet as I haven稚 came up with a need for the valve yet anyway.

I got most of my ideas from RKIDD so I can稚 take the credit

Is this something that someone with little to no experience with hydraulics can figure out? Is there a parts list available for someone to buy all of this? Is it a "simple" bolt on, or is there machining and fabrication required?
