Kubota L2501HST
I am new here and need some advice. Yes have a 2020 Kubota 2501HST and just got a Shaver HD8 post pounder. I need to install 1 rear hydraulic line to lift the hammer and 1 dump line.
As I am new to tractors and hydraulics I could use Some suggestions as to what all is needed. My dealer quoted $1800 for them to do it.

thank you!

Rear remotes or loader 3 functions come in pairs (big tractors can have some other options, but let’s keep it simple here.
These are typically controlled by a valve. Valves come in open center and closed center. Most common for smaller tractors is open center. This means that if not redirected by the operation of the valve, fluid continues to flow through the valve if not being used.
Specific to your tractor will be how you get fluid to the valve (supply) and the path from the valve to the reservoir (return to tank)
Again this KISS explanation.

So you need fittings from your supply source for your tractor, to a hose to your control valve, then a hose from the valve to fittings for return to tank.
Additional you need 2 hoses from your valve to the location you want these remotes located, typically these connect at a mount location with quick connects.

The valve allows either side of the remotes to act as the pressure/return hose from the implement.
Use a color coding system so you can consistently connect the implement to the same remote sides. Color zip ties are simple. Different cap colors are also common.

I know the threaded hydraulic fill cap for an L4701 is 1" NPT. If the L2501 is the same that is an excellent place to plumb the driver's return. $1800 is pretty steep for a remote valve & install. The remote valve and lever kit comes with instructions and shouldn't be terribly challenging as a DIY project for a reasonably capable person. You should save several hundred dollars. That kit will come with 3/8" couplers rather than the 1/2" ISO couplers found almost universally on rear remote couplers. Spend a few extra bucks and set yours up with 1/2" couplers.
