We are looking for the control valve to operate a back blade. This valve controls top bar with hydraulic cylinder, for more or less pitch of blade, also second co-joined valve controls the right side of draw bar to increase/decrease blade side to side up or down for slope angle. This valve IS NOT the standard up down valve for 3 point hitch.

Google for Burden's Surplus Center for non-OEM hydraulic valves.
They used to have in their catalog the basic setup you describe available as a two-part kit.
Otherwise, check you local large industrial or ag hydraulic service repair center.
Figure out the length of stroke you desire for each cylinder; the valves should be straightforward---just be sure to get the correct type 'open' or 'closed' center to match your system or need at that pressure delivery point.

On my L185DT loader and backhoe I had nice compact 3/8" dual valves that would have been ideal. I cannot find such a beast anymore. The Big R, and virtually every other hydraulic supply house only has 3/4" NTP in & out, with 1/2" ports. Be prepared to have bigger than you really want. You may have to go to a speciality house for the cylinders as well, the ones at the tractor supplies are generally universal, with the work connections nearly doubling the length of the cylinder.
If you don't mind spending some money, I think that you can get everything from Kubota. If you plan on doing everything yourself, then you will need to do some research. Are you going to build your Top and Side Link units yourself, or are you looking to purchase ready to go units? Here are a couple of links for you to look at.

Went to local Kubota dealer and came away feeling screwewd. The prices for the auxiliary valve assembly was ludicrous. So I purchased welded cylinders, cut end off shaft and other cylinder end. Welded up new ends and installed a dual valve assembly, powering up from feed to front bucket line with a power thru adapter. Great set up and 1/4 cost from Kubota, including cylinders and #6 pressure hose and fittings. Thanks for the come back on my situation, but I have it covered.

WOW, you don't mess around. To get it all done in less than 24hours. VERY impressive.

My appology for not responding earlier. The Kubota in question operates absolutely great with the new auxiliary set up. Unfortunately, that machine is one of many that range from JD excavators, 544 loaders, dump trucks and much more. So my time for follow up is limited, but I will photo the set up as time permits and post on this site. Thanks/Gary
