Hydraulic Motor grand L 4060

Hi Folks,

First post here! You guys have helped me with so over the years without knowing it. TBN is always the first place i look for answers. Thank you all.

Been looking into a new l4060 tractor for a vineyard. I want to be able to run hydraulic motors from this tractor. Right now i drive a m8540 narrow at work and it has nice self canceling detent. I talked to the local dealer and they said Kubota do not make a detent valve nor do they have detent spools for the valves on the grand l (except for float - and they cant be swapped). I would rather not use a bungee cord as i want the valve to self cancel if necessary. Is there a way to change out the spool for a detent with any aftermarket part? Also whats the best way to return to tank, straight into filler? (that's how the m8540 is setup now). I know there are not a lot of 60 series owners yet but maybe someone has an idea of how i can plumb a motor control in.
Cheers!

Cab or open station? Its pretty easy to plumb in an additional spool onto the power beyond loop on an open station. Well just as easy on a cab, its just trying to get it mounted conveniently that's the problem.

Thanks.. gives me hope. Its a cab version, I took a closer look today and there is a connection at the back that could be used (where the backhoe would normally plumb in) Is this considered power beyond?. And returning to the tank? There are no threads on the filling port, i imagine it would need to be tapped for a fitting? Are there any other ways to return? I don't have a lot of experience with plumbing hydraulics so i am probably not using the right terms. We also use an l2900 and we can run motors from the port coming from the front loader... (is this power beyond?) The 60 series has hard lines running to the front and no power beyond or extra outs that i can see.
