L4600 Hydraulic Help Needed (remote and power beyond)

avery155 · Jun 9, 2013

Hello everyone, just signed up as I have been reading a lot on here lately.
We just bought a Kubota L4600 with FEL and are expecting it to be delivered by the end of this week.

My question is:
I would like to add the factory 3 remote valves to the rear of the tractor. Dealer quoted me $1500 for the 3 valve kit. I assume this would have everything I need to hook it up. While reading Kubota says that you can not get a third valve if you get the back hoe, which we did not get.
I would like to run 3 remotes to the real, for top and tilt, and a spare for any future use. This kit should cover it.
If anyone knows where I can get it cheaper that would be great I can't find a part number for the kit tho, I would go with a make your own kit, but being new to this, and I am wanting the kit it also install and fit in the factory location.

Now, I also want to have a power beyond port. I think that is what I would need to run a post driver or other implement that is hooked up to the 3pt that has its own valve on it, right? I have no idea what I need to run this by itself or even if it can be worked in with the 3 remotes.
I looked for some FAQ or Tutorials, but couldn't find any. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You could use something like this plus the PB adapter.

Surplus Center - 3 SPOOL 14 GPM PRINCE WVS31BBB5C1 DA VALVE

You probably have a hyd block, so you would run a hose from the hyd block to the three valve IN port and the PB OUT would go to the 3pt input.

If you want float on any of the spools, you might go with a stack valve like this and add the features you want. Outlet end cap has PB.

Surplus Center - 3 SPOOL 20 SERIES PRINCE STACK VALVE POWER BEYOND

Select one or two of the spools with float and maybe one with detent.

The OUT of the new valve would go to a return hose.

Do you not have hyd for the bucket or anything up front.

Do you want more than that.

A diverter valve or a true third function valve should work.

Send me the data you have using Email.
