- Kubota 4850 EverClutch
I've got a '97 Kubota 4850, with EverClutch hydraulic shuttle shift. I love this tractor, but it has zero hydraulic remotes and no second function on the loader. I'd like to add both, but don't know enough about the details to know where to start. I want two sets of remotes to be able to run a ditch-bank style flail mower. I don't expect to need 3 sets for anything, but you never know.
Friends have told me that kubotas are picky about taking random hydraulic components, but I wonder if this is actually true. I am not very picky about making do with used or non OEM parts and I see them all the time on FB marketplace and ebay.
Is there any good links to basics of DIY hydraulic features, or posts on this forum that I could dig into? I have a basic idea of how the hydraulic system works, but just don't know enough to start buying parts and building the system. I have replaced hoses, and even tapped into the bottom of my old Zetor 5211 to plumb a set of remotes, but the company I bought the parts from walked me through that.
TIA,
Darren
