Adding 3rd Rear Remote Hydraulic Valve

[Three Strands Farm]

I own a 2019 M4D-071HDC12 tractor that came with two rear remotes. I would like to add a third rear remote for use with a hydraulic top link and/or batwing mower. Can anyone tell me the part number for the third rear remote and lever kit(s)? I've tried Kubota's website, Messick's and Germanbliss but cannot find a part number or even a picture of the third remote. TYIA.

curious, looked at the online drawings..saw a 3rd slot in the 'levers area', and valves are 'ganged'.
so 64K$ question...
since there is a 3rd slot, doesn't Kubota offer it ? Really, WHY the empty slot,predrilled holes ,etc.?
could you just buy another valve + cable +levers and install yourself ?

That is exactly what I am trying to do. I know that you can add a third rear remote as it is ready to accommodate the new valve. I just need to locate the part number for the appropriate kit(s).

Thank you WhiteTiger! I do see the part number for the control lever for the M4D-071, but I don't see the part number for the auxiliary control valve assembly. The instructions look great...just not sure what valve assembly to order. Thanks again

I'm sure you have at least one float detent (FD) remote, but if not you'll need one for a batwing mower. My M6060 came with SCD and FD remotes and I added a third FD remote. The wings on my RC3712 run off one of the FD valves.

Not sure which type of valves I have. All I know is that I have two and that they are the ones that came standard with the deluxe cab model. One one the bottom has a rectangular end and the other has a round or oval end. Can I add either type or is there a “standard” model made specifically for the 3rd position?

OK .... so you have one SCD and one FD which is how my M6060 showed up. So you can add either an SCD or FD for the 3rd (top) remote. I elected to add another FD since there's no downside to an FD over an SCD and plenty of upsides.

Any problem with the oil getting hot or over heating? I’ve read that if you use an FD type valve and leave it open, the oil can get hot.

Why would that heat the oil any more than being in neutral? Its taking the same path.

Because he read it on the internet, and as we all know, if it's on the internet, it has to be true.

To answer Three Strands Farm's question, it will not heat up the hydraulic oil any more than if you were not using the valve at all.
