Adding rear hydraulics to an L3200

[lonegunman]

I have an L3200 and I have access to a 3-point splitter and a couple of other attachments that require hydraulics to fully enjoy. I do not have rear hydraulics. Would it be better to just go to the dealer and take my whipping or is there an after-market kit to add this to my tractor?

I know this question has been asked a few times, but not directly related to an L3200. Anything on this tractor to watch out for?

I have the same tractor and looking fwd to input from others on this subject. I want to ad a loader eventually too, and was wondering if it would be better to just trade the tractor in and buy another with everything stock from Kubota vs adding components one by one. Having rear hydraulics will improve productivity with my box blade, grader blade and disc. I hope you don't feel like I'm hijacking your thread.

L4600 I dug DEEP and brought duel rear remotes from the dealer... Installed it myself nuttin to it... I also got my Top and Tilt kit from the dealer it was about $100 more than aftermarket so I went with the Bota set up...

Go over here, Fallon did an excellent job with his install in my opinion.

If you are hyd savvy, you can round up all the part and do it yourself and save big time and learn something.

If you have the bucks, you can let someone install a kit for you .

I had my dealer install mine. Factory Kubota parts. I was $940 parts and labor. My tractor is very similar to yours - L3700SU.
Considering how much the tractor costs and how little I know about hydraulics, it was not worth messing @ this cost.

Thank you everyone for the advice.

I'm not savvy in hydraulics, or any other subject for that matter, but thanks to an unfortunately deceased member from years ago, Mad Referee, I was able to accomplish the task myself, to my great surprise. As a matter of fact, once I had the correct parts assembled and mocked up, the install was so easy it was a bit anticlimactic...

This is on a B-7800 .. A very similar tractor.

Thanks for reminding me about Mad Referee... I recall his wisdom and insights from years ago, but didn't mess with my tractor's hydraulics back then (well, I still don't, but I am tempted...) so I just read with interest, no needs.

I did a good job on the front half. Slowly chewing through the TnT hoses in the rear still though. Probably going to wait until I break the first one & replace all 4 with ones having a 45 or 90 next to the coupler.

Function is great though. I'm happy with the Fit-Right gear.
