Finally bought an L5450

Backhoes installed on Kubotas by dealers are often plumbed by adding a second "destination" for the PB hose from the FEL valve. It either connects to the hydraulic block to run the 3ph, OR it connects to a pipe running to one of the rear QDs for the backhoe. It's often assumed the 3ph isn't needed if the bh is mounted.

Clear as mud, huh?

Sort of, what about "if" there's rear remotes involved.

Correct, I take my 3 pt arms completely off when I put the backhoe on. I never tried, but I don't think there would be room for them anyway.

I tried putting my backhoe on once with the 3-point still installed and it won't work, just not enough clearance for the arms.

Factory remotes often include close-coupled valves, with PB built in.

I am very interested in modify in the front loader to a skid steer quick attach setup. I currently have a set of pallet forks for a skid steer that I would love to be able to use on my L5450. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accommodate the factory bucket into this type of setup? I also have fender mount hydraulic controls. 3 lever setup, 2 run the power 3pt hitch tilt/trim, and a third for an implement.

I used the ATI adapter, but WR Long makes one as well. Others may plus you could fab one.

W.R. Long is who I got mine from. All they needed to know was what brand of loader you have. I came in short order. You just need some way to get it off the truck when it is delivered. Very nice to deal with considering I was in Kuwait when I called my order in.

This is a good source for the plate you will need to weld onto your existing bucket

That's perfect. I will certainly be ordering the QA setup. I already have jobs that I need my pallet forks for stacking up!
