Is a set, one remote function, or two? If two that might not be too bad when paying someone to do the install.I'm just about to have my local Kubota dealer add a first set of rear remotes to a 2011 L3200 HST that I own, it is my only tractor that I don't have rear remotes on. I don't have the part numbers or kit info but I will tell you that my estimate for parts and labor is $1,150 for the first set, second set is quite a bit cheaper but I'm just having one set fitted. I wish I would have had it done some years ago, it is expensive but so useful.
I need to take it in maybe next week, if I can get the kit info I will pass it on.
A set of two rear remotes is one function, at least in my definition.Is a set, one remote function, or two? If two that might not be too bad when paying someone to do the install.
Years ago, I installed four remotes on my B2910. Did it myself. Bought the parts and so on. Still cost around $950 at that time(for 4 functions), if I remember correctly. BUT it was a lot of thinking, planning and understanding. To date, I have never needed more than three functions...
You need to think about the possible special features for any additional rear remote before ordering or buying them.I have a 2011 L3200 HST. Already added a third function kit for front. Question is is there an all-inclusive kit to add hydraulics to the rear?
$1,150 (plus sales tax on top?) for one control function (1 control lever controlling one cylinder) sure would have me considering doing it myself. BUT DIY is not for everyone.A set of two rear remotes is one function, at least in my definition.
The labor element of my quote is $160 so the parts are $990. I believe you can have up to 3 sets of rear remotes on most compact Kubota tractors. The second and third sets are cheaper for the parts typically.
Rear remotes can be increased with electric controls and different valve setups.
I use 2 sets of rear remotes on my other tractors but often wish I had 3 sets, rear hydraulics are not a cheap investment but they are so useful and required.
I’m in the same boat as you. I added a Summit Hydraulics 3rd Function valve myself after a couple years and now want to add remotes. I had to deviate from the original instructions that came with the Summit kit in order to account for my BH77 backhoe, but everything is working great with that configuration.I have a 2011 L3200 HST.

Yes - I am not a fan of that "solution".when adding the valve assembly as shown in post #5 as I understand it one must disable the FEL in order to activate the rear hydraulic pressure/return- am I correct.
No. - with the OEM remotes you get simultaneous use of the loader and remotes.However, if one uses the Kubota factory addon is this true also?
Thank you for the link. Will see what he has for my cab tractor.Andy at Tractor Innovations solved my rear hyd remotes for me. I use it primarily for a hyd toplink but the price is great and the installation is pure do-it-yourself simplicity. Here’s his website:https://www.tractorinnovations.com/
