L4400 rear remote

Thanks, I understand now. They are using the relief valve to allow down pressure of 500 psi on the cyl rod , and any thing over that is relieved to tank. They don't even need down pressure if the ground is soft.

Did anybody notice this from the manufacture:

Install hydraulic plumbing using Teflon tape to seal pipe threads.

Are the Teflon police around?

:laughing::laughing::laughing: I guess that Land Pride must be a second rate company if they suggest and USE Teflon TAPE. But this road has been gone down before and we don't need to go down it again, and again, and again.

Correct, no need to always use the down pressure, but when you need it it's there and boy does it work great. :thumbsup: One of these days I'm going to hook up the PHD to our crane and weight scale and see how much actual down pressure there actually is.

Make sure you are looking at the right parts. From the whole goods list. The Y/N column is labeled stackable.

The PDF files are for the L4400HST-1 series and are stackable to a maximum of 3.

I'm still on the fence for using the factory parts vs some surplus center parts. I still thinking I might be able to install the Prince setup under the factory coverplates and get the handles to locate in the factory location next to the pto lever. I just really like how the factory parts look and I think I might get the handles from Kubota and mate them to the prince valves.

Has anyone used the factory hydraulic location under the set to tap in their prince valves? Most of the ones I have seen havee ran hoses up to the FEL connections to add their valves.

Is there a specific recomendation of a dealer or board promoter that has good parts pricing to ship the needed parts to my door?

If you were to fill out your profile a bit better, then someone might be able to recommend a great dealer in your area. But most don't care to list every dealer and hope that one is near you. Yes there are several, Barlow's and Messick's come to mind and both post here on TBN.

Update my profile and my local dealer has not always been known to have the best prices. I was thinking if I was going to install the parts myself and since they are light I might as well order them from across the country and have them shipped in.

I've called three dealers in my area and they have all just quoted retail cost for the parts.

Barlow's is hard to beat for pricing and they have no problem shipping, in Kentucky I think. I am not a Kubota guy, but if I was, these guys are who I would be buying from. Please let us know if and how this works out for you. Someone in your area may know some other dealer that sells at reasonable prices, I can only recommend from what I have read on TBN. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info. From looking at the factory kit it attaches to a block under the rear seat and only has 2 lines coming from it. I assume this is strictily a power beyond port that install the factory valve in series.

What I would like to find is a plate to attach hoses directly to this same port area that would allow me to add a prince valve instead of the factory valve.

Then I would not need to take the power beyond from the loader valve to input the new rear remote valves and then another house back up to the loader block for a t-eed in tank return and another hose to reconnect the power beyond from the new valve to the loader block.

Does anyone know the center to center spacing between the prince valve stacks? ie the distanct between each handle? I am trying to concluded if a 3 valve stack will fit under the Kubota factory handle area.
