I originally had the hose kit because that's what my local dealer said there was for the bh. It does work to give you hyd flow for the bh. I had paid $125 and still have it stored in my garage. I can work with you if you would want it but I would go with an actual controlable remote. The hose kit will give you the two QDs at the rear like the remote but you have to go under the tractor, most of the time laying on the ground, with a wrench to turn the valve completely on. When you do this, you need something connected to the QDs if the tractor is running, the bh has open center valves that allow fluid flow, or you will be dead heading the hydraulic flow. You can't disconnect the bh until you turn the valve off. After removing the bh, you turn the valve completely off or your 3pt won't lift correctly. It mounts in the same place on the right side of the rear tractor case just in front of the rear tire for hyd fluid flow as a remote does. As mentioned, it does work for hyd flow but it's a pita and if you ever wanted to connect something like a 3pt clyinder, top and tilt, or anything that needed valve controlled fluid, the hose kit isn't it. That's why I had changed to the actual remotes. More useful.
