This is what I did on my L3400. You'll have more space to work with, but if you're adding 4 sets of remotes, which is 8 connections, you're going to be pressed for room as well. I think you meant 4 connections (2 sets), but the process is the same regardless.

You might want to consider using a stackable valve body, and not a monoblock style like I used. The stackable leaves room to expand.

Be sure your directional valve includes a pressure relief, that lets you customize the pressure at the remotes to suit your needs.

Routing the hoses so they're out of the way can be tricky too, unless you're inclined to bend and fit hard pipes. I used all hoses, no problems so far.

By the time you're finished, the dealer option of a factory kit might not look so expensive. Mine cost me almost $700 by the time I was finished. The valve, hoses, fittings and adapters all add up.

thanks chiily & orange toys for the info.

orange toys, what do you mean by one is detent & one is float. ? did you but the kit from a dealer complete & just install it per directions. was there any misc. parts you had to buy.

I believe the maximum for the Kubota brand rear remotes is three on an MX5100. I bought one set when I purchased my tractor as I heard that was the more difficult one to install. After that it's stacking on the first from what I understand.

Yes I bought the whole kit and followed the directions. We got it installed in about 2.5-3hrs. Everything you'll need comes in the kit. 3 remotes is Max. I can't explain the float and detent that great hopefully someone will jump in. Or just search it on here I saw a few threads.

yes the installed valves are costly.but if you install them yourself,an you mess up doing it.it wouldve been cheaper to let the dealer do it.
