Will Power Angle Front Plow Valve Allow Addition of Front Grapple, on B3000?

If the tractor has the third function;the joy stick will have to be changed. Curious,it should have been included with the "kit".The third function will operate a grapple/thumb ect.

I am confused about all this conversation. Kubota makes three front attachment that are frame mounted using the quick attach assembly that frame mounts; snow plow, snow blower, and power broom. They each come with the companion unit for the QA except the 48" broom and plow which are manually angled. The cylinder to raise and lower the attachments is part of the tractor mounted unit. The power angle cylinder comes with the attachment mounting assembly. The snow blower in addition requires a PTO system kit to drive the blower from the MMM PTO. None require a third function kit or valve unless you add another function not part of the original assembly.

I have been studying this as I plan to get the plow. Just made a bargain on the tractor mount kit for $300, brand new. It has the raise/lower cylinder.

Unless I have missed something along the line that is how I see the pieces of the puzzle.

I forgot to say that the two cylinders are then controlled by the FEL Joy Stick as the hoses are made to connect the the 4 FEL Hydro QCs.

I don't know if this matters, because I'm as confused as I've been since the "get-go," but there is only ONE hydraulic cylinder on the factory, Kubota, subframe-mounted (i.e., remove your FEL FIRST) plow.

But I appreciate the continuing discussion, as I have to ask a vendor to make mods for me that I, currently, don't adequately understand.

I'm hoping a real "Kubota Hydraulics Guru" will step in, to clear things up for us.

Please feel free, anyone, to put out an "A.P.B." for this individual.

Look at the plow again.Two cylinders,one to angle the plow and a raise/lower cylinder.Both controlled by the original FEL joy stick.
