Kubota L345dt with Kubota snowplow

[rchristo]

I recently bought a 1982 vintage Kubota with a snowplow. I want to take the plow off for the summer but am uncertain what to do with the hose connections to the tractor under the seat. I am told by my local dealer that it depends on whether it is an open or closed center system. If open, I'd have to run a jumper hose between the input and output fittings (I think!). There is no manual for the plow, so my question is how do I determine what type of system I have and what do I do with the fittings when the hoses are removed? If unsure, what is the no risk answer (run a jumper between the fittings?)

I'm new to the forum, so appreciate the help.

You have open center, use the jumper hose.
