Installing rear hydraulics on L3130?

[Bill Barrett]

I just ordered the basic kit plus one two position valve. Anybody install one? Is it simple?
Thanks
Bill

So you ordered the base kit and one valve section. This gives you one remote. It's not hard to install but some people remove the tire which makes the job a little easier.

 

[Bill Barrett]

Yep, thats the big part, then from what I understand you can stack up to three valves.

Bill,
If you get a chance and the project is underway take some pics and keep us informed. I'd like to do the same thing you're doing. Thanks.

Yes, and you'll need a different stack kit and valve section for each additional remote.

I never thought of posting pics, but I sure will. I might get started this weekend.

I have done it. I installed two remotes. It was pretty simple just take your time. If I remember correctly, they came with instructions. I did not remove the tire.

Where did you get your kit? also cost If you don't mind me asking. I just added the hydralics for a grapple on my L3130. The Long valve kit was about $800 installed. I am thinking of adding rear remotes in case I need them later. A hydralic top link would be nice. Wonder if that would work off the grapple hydralics?

 

[MadReferee]

MSRP is $618 for the first and $412 for each additional valve. This includes the stacking kit and valve section.

Update on my rear remote. Well my couple day UPS, looks like it's going on a week LOL. Oh well I've got plenty of other things to do.

 

[Bill Barrett]

Still looking for my parts going on two weeks. Not a good start to this project. LOL

Bill,
Patience is a virtue and I don't have any.. I like things on time....

 

[Bill Barrett]

Up date. Ok going into third week. Stopped by my dealer, he said the valve is back ordered, no valves to be had anywhere. So who makes the valves for Kubota? Two way valve nowhere in US? LOL

 

[MadReferee]

Since they are custom designed and direct mounted to the particular tractor case you will have no other source than Kubota for the valve section. These valves are nothing like a stand alone aux valve.

Bill;

When you get the parts I would appreciate some installation pictures. I have plans to add remote hydraulics to my 3130.

Thanks RPK

 

[Bill Barrett]

No problem RPK, I planned on documenting the project.

 

[Bill Barrett]

New update, was at the Dealer today for something else, owner told me they didn't know when my parts would be in. Asked if I wanted to cancel the order! He said they could try to piece something together! **** I can do that. So is something up with Kubota? Part always this hard to get? I see someone else has a thread going with the same problem, so it not my dealer.

Bill,

I had the same problem trying to find the outlets my L5030. Everyone I called did not stock and said it would not be back in stock at Kubota's warhouse until June 1. Talked with Messicks Equipment in PA said they had one in stock and would ship out, haven't seen it yet but I do have a charge on my CC from Messick's hope to have it tommorow. If you call talk to sales about a Hold Goods part. My part no's were L8303 & L8305

 

[Bill Barrett]

Thanks Davidson, guess I'll wait for my dealer.

Did recieve on Friday and installed over the weekend. Toughest part was trying to get the seat out of a cab tractor. It bolts to the top of the hydraulic pump under the seat. I installed mine with the hoses attached to the valve and tightened up everything once it was attached. See attachment for instructions, they did not contain a parts description but it was not hard to figure out which bolts went where. Let me know if you have any questions.
