cummins666 · Apr 23, 2007

i have a woods bh80x backhoe on the way. the dealer tells me that there is no hydraulic hose kit for my 3710. how do i go about hooking up the hydraulics? also i am going to mount the subframe and backhoe myself, any help with the install would be appreciated.

thanks

There are 2 ways to go with your Grand L. One uses the power
beyond of the loader valve, and the better approach uses a
tap into the hydraulic block under your seat. I have seen the
latter for the L3010, which is probably the same as your machine.
My local Kub dealer sells an adapter made by Gearmore. I think
you should look into this connection for your hoe and to add at
least one remote valve. You need a more knowledgeable dealer.

Interesting you should ask that. I'm in the process of doing the exact same thing: L3710 & Woods 7500/BH80. I called Eric at Gearmore and he confirmed that he will sell the adapter seperately. He can't do retail sales other than C.O.D., but if you call Inland Kubota in California and ask for Cheryl or Michelle, they can sell you the part and Eric can drop ship it directly to you. The cost is $95 plus $10 S/H. Then you can either connect to remote valves of your choosing, or just connect hoses that will feed directly to the BH. That's what I plan to do. And when the BH is removed, I'll just put a connector hose between the hoses coming from the adapter to complete the fluid path back to the 3PT. Hope this helps.

No, I haven't installed it yet. Still negotiating with the dealer on the used hoe and acquiring bits and pieces to put the whole thing together. I'm going to install the HD support brackets for the top link at the same time, which will require pulling the seat/fender assembly off, so I'm trying to have everything on hand before I tear things apart.
