B2781 on a BX22

[Trafficman]

So Here's the deal. I picked up a CL B2781 with the BX2751 (quick hitch) & BX2752 (Mid PTO drive kit). This was originally on a B2630. I've found out through the arcane maze of Kubotas' parts & finally googled up a link to a attachments compatabilty PDF & lo'& behold the BX2752 will (90% probability) fit. Now the last hurdle to conquer is a the hydraulic valve for the quick hitch itself. Both connectors on the hoses coming from the cylinder are female Hydraulics a a complete mystery to me. What kind of valving, connections will I need to lift/lower the blower.
I'm kinda slammed, I picked this puppy up this past saturday (in the snow of course) from 2 separate places. Tomorrows' my day off & there's 12" forecast for this weekend. MY FEL & RB aren't really the best option but better than a shovel on 12 driveways & 1200ft of road. THIS is the way to go.

Thanx guys

I believe the quick hitch is plumbed off the FEL valve. I know the BX24 uses the loader control stick to lift the quick hitch, it also angles the plow.
Does your loader valve come off with the loader, or can you keep it with the tractor?

sqidget,
The FEL valves come off with the FEL. It doesn't matter at this point, I tried to fit the Quick hitch on and there is way possible. None of the bolt holes came even close. The quick hitch is a B2781 which will fit on a BX24 or B2600 series. Makes sense since the whole rig came off of a B2630. I sent in an email to Kubota CS and got a response back to day. I need a BL2583 3PH adapter kit or the B2752 Front Mount Quick Hitch kit. I'm gonna go with the BL2583 3PH kit. I don't want to give up the FEL. Putting the B2781 on the 3PH with the FEL will balance out each other.
The upshot of this is I now have a B2781 I can't use and it will turn to rust. Hardly used & just finished lubing the fittings & getting the PTO fitting cleaned up & working.

trafficman that hitch wont go to waste. Lots of guys on CL and eaby will buy that right up. You may not get full market value but it should sell. If I am right, that quick hitch will fit most newer BX models. Heck I was looking for one about 6 months ago on CL and ebay and they were hard to come by then too. Good luck
