3-Point Hitch B3200 Remotes

Hi all,

So here's my story, had been looking at used tractors for quite a while and Christmas morning the wife pulls out of the woods on a brand new Kubota B3200 TLB. Now it's time for some upgrades, I am looking to add some rear remotes for top and tilt. I've read some posts about adding remotes but I have a question about my specific tractor, the backhoe has a single hose that feeds the valves on the backhoe and then the return line. Now if I add remotes, can I use that line to power the valves for the remotes? I would never be using the remotes when the backhoe is on so I don't see why that line couldn't be used. I don't know a lot about hydraulics so any valve recomendations would be appreciated.

Yes, you can use the feed for the backhoe. I own the same tractor.
Your backhoe feed will be after the remote valve. The larger of the two fittings that go into the side of the tractor, which is the bottom metal line for the backhoe feed, will be eliminated. You will come out of that feed port and into your remote valve, and then out of your remote valve to your backhoe feed.
If you can swing the $700 for kubotas kit, it would be your easiest method of installing remotes. Many guys have made there own for less by using other valves and having lines made. If you are not that experienced, the kit may be your best option. For the extra money, it will come with instructions, a guarantee and a lot less frustration. It is made for the tractor.
I have top & tilt and I use this tractor for a business. I believe tilt is a waste of money. I have never used it beyond what it would take to make it worth the money. A hydro top link is well worth it.
Two more upgrades I believe are priceless...thumb for backhoe and a bucket grapple, with the WR Long 3rd function kit.
Let me know how you make out

Thanks for the quick response. Ok so your saying after the instilation of remotes run the backhoe off of one of the romote lines? Or just run the feed line out of the valves to the backhoe? And yes I do a lot of rock moving so a thumb will be in the future just not sure if I want to build or buy. I have access to quite a bit of steel and it seems like a good project to break in the the new welder.
