Add rear remote to BX2230 for dump trailer?

Hows about the kingkutter xb 1.5 ton dump, it could be had with a 7 or 8 stroke hand pump, its turn key at $2k but match it to a kubota and u will have elegant!

Questions:

Does the BX2230 have enough fluid to run a 4" x 24" stroke cyl. ?

When a new dry cylinder is installed, always check the amount of fluid in the tractor after cycling the cylinder. Given the small sump size of the BX and the amount of fluid that it takes to fill a 4" x 24" cylinder, the tractor will be low and will need to be topped off. After the first time, you will be alright with a double acting cylinder.

The cheapest and easiet way to get "rear hydraulics" for limited use to the rear is to put quick connects on your existing loader spool valve where the hoses going to the bucket are located. Disconnect those hoses and use 2 other hoses with quick connectors to run to the dump trailer. Then use the loader spool valve to control the dump trailer. Exchange the connection when want to use loader bucket again. The switch between the rear and bucket hoses can be made in a couple of minutes. I did this for a while with my Kubota 3710 until I purchased rear hydraulic kit. All it requires are couplers, fittings and hoses going to the rear.

Rear hydraulics are great, but I never understood the need for a hydraulic dumping trailer run by the tractor. The whole purpose of hydraulic ANYTHING is to lessen our work load. With an electric/hydraulic self-contained trailer, you could easily load the trailer, and dump where needed. But to load a trailer that is run off the tractors hydraulics, you would have to chase your tail to load the thing. I would rather just leave the material in the FEL, and dump exactly where needed. Material placement is more accurate with a FEL compared to a dump trailer.
I have rented electric/hydraulic trailers that are self contained, but I can tell you it is easier and just as cost effective to have material delivered by a dumptruck. Save the rear hydraulics for box blades, backhoes, and log splitters.
Best Regards, Good Luck and Be Safe
