Kubota L3710
If I want to put rear hydraulics on a Kubota L3710 for an offset flail mower, how big a kit do I need? I assume it would be the minimum number of spools since all it does is rotate the mower.

Do you want the cheapest or the cleanest looking install? Also, no future needs for a grapple or top -N- tilt hydraulics for the 3 point hitch??? (Lots cheaper to add that now vs. doing this again).

So the flail mower only needs one set of remotes? (one hydraulic cylinder) Assume it's double acting and not a single acting (with a gravity return??)

Adding a single spool valve could be done cheaply!!!

Thanks for the reply. You are over my head already.

I use debris forks on the FEL for moving stuff, and if I got a grapple, it would be up front. I don't like grapples, though. Not in the size this tractor could handle.

I don't know what top-n-tilt hydraulics are. I believe I would only be using a flail mower and maybe, eventually, a stump grinder. The flail mower I was thinking of is an Ironcraft FRF145 offset. The manual doesn't say much about the hydraulics.

I live on a little farm with a lot of weeds and brush. I have a 6-foot bush hog, but I don't think much of it, and I was thinking I might be able to mow around the house with a flail mower.

Top and tilt is just hydraulic cylinders controlling the otherwise manual lower arm and toplink connection points.
The mower you mention will require (2) remotes to control. I would imagine (guess) that a Kubota shop could add two remotes for around $2k
