I am new to the Forum and not even sure this will post where needed. I have a Kubota MX5100H and trying to add a Titan Back Hoe attachment. I have asked around with confusing results to my questions. The BH has two hoses, one coming from the bottom of the reservoir tank and one from the control panel. My question is: How can I and where do I attach the hoses to the tractor? I know the term "Power Beyond" but not exactly sure which one/ones it is. Hopefully someone has done this.

You need to be in the circuit between the FEL and the 3pt assuming you have an open center system. One of your FEL output hoses should be marked BYD or something to that effect. That line should now go to your IN Port on your backhoe. The OUT of the backhoe should go back to where your BYD was initially connected.

EDIT: On a 2pipe backhoe the return line needs to go to the tank, the 3 point cylinder needs to be bypassed.

I should have thought of this prior to responding. Is yours a 3 point setup or was the tractor setup for a frame mount backhoe? The two pipe models are intended to hook up in place of the 3 point hitch so the return line goes directly to the tank. Your Power Beyond line is now going to your 3 point and having a 2 pipe in series will not work.

Does it have a oil tank? If it does you might be missing a PTO pump.

You can pipe it in series with the 3 point but you will need another hose for the tank IF you have a tank port on the backhoe and IF it has power beyond capability.

I put rear remotes on the back of my 3510 Branson.
There were 2 ports on the R rear with a bypass fitting that I had to remove.
You might have the same type on yours.
If your tractor has a big enough reservoir you won't need the extra tank.
I have my second Hoe now and with both it didn't matter which hose was supply and return.
