    Looking for diverter setup for L35.

    You have obviously made your choice and the diverter will work fine. You actually lose very little functionality using a diverter given the operation of Kubota loader valves. But you can roll your own "true" 3rd function for much less than $900. A generic D03 solenoid valve with manifold is...

    Looking for diverter setup for L35.

    I would not expect much difference in cost. You still need the joy stick handle with switch and that is crazy expensive at almost $200. Dan

    B6000 lifting arms not operating

    At this point its likely the lift cylinder has been pushed to the end of its stroke and the rock shaft is at the top of lift position. Without weight on the arms there is no force to bring them back to the bottom. Turn the tractor off and bungee the lift control lever full down. Then get...

    Car Lift For Tractor Servicing

    Nice gadget but I am not sure i would have much need for lifting any of my tractors. I do have a two post but its asymmetric and it seems like that system only works with symetric lifts. Plus it costs more than the lift. Dan

    B6000 lifting arms not operating

    Yes - in particular a picture from a greater distance showing a more complete view of the cover and its relationship to the redt of the tractor. Dan

    B6000 lifting arms not operating

    I am not familiar with that model but to me it looks like the entire top cover has been replaced with some sort of special purpose trencher conversion. I dont see any signs of a 3pt - where are the lift arms and rock shaft? I would also be cautious about blocking the outlet not knowing what if...

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    I am not sure what you are asking wrt tube/hose. Heres an inexpensive coupler with ORB port and one way sleeve: https://summit-hydraulics.com/product/1-2-ag-hydraulic-quick-connect-female-coupler-poppet-valve-3-4-16-orb-iso-5675/ A two way sleeve panel mount version...

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    The port spacing on the valves is too close together to mount couplers directly on the ports. Another issue with mounting couplers on valves is the dificulty of providing breakaway protection and/or one hand push/pull operation I share your dislike of NPT and I try to use couplers with ORB...

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    Factory remotes are great but they come at a hefty premium. They are a well integrated option but roughly $1500 for two spring center valves and another $200 per valve if you want float. Dan

    And no flow metering - its purely binary - full open or full closed. "Wham Bam thank you mam". Dan

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    You are more than welcome. The EZ-PZ project came about because people come here almost daily looking for help adding remotes to their tractor. The plumbing seems to baffle most owners and I decided to make it so easy a cave man could do it. Dan

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    Very standard and as you can see that solenoid valve is mounted to the loader post in the exact spot the EZ-PZ kit mounts. They won't play together. Thats a known issue and I just spent about an hour in the shop mocking up a bracket for ROPS mounting. As soon as I get a valve mounted and can...

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    The kit is built and tested on L01 tractors with factory loader but it can be tweaked to work on most L series tractors with a loader. Its generally just a matter of adjusting the length and/or end fittings of the hoses supplied with the kit. Hoses are all custom made to fit the tractor it is...

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    Unfortunately the third functions are almost universally manifold mounted D03 solenoid valves - you dont just add sections. Dan

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    Probably. I dont know what third function you have but it probsbly interferes with the mounting location of the EZ-PZ kit. I am working on a ROPS version. of the EZ-PZ kit. Dan

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    its no botherv- am doing this right now. There is no advantage to using the backhoe outlets - it just adds quick connects you do not need: Disconnect the hose going to the backhoe supply quick coupler and connect it to inlet on the AUX valve. Connect the power beyond outlet on the AUX valve...

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    At the risk of being accused of self promotion: In effect that is what that does. The AUX valve is simply installed in the supply line going from the loader valve to the backhoe. Connection point is at the loader rather than the rear of the tractor. You could do the same thing at the rear but...

    Rear Hydraulic Controls

    At the risk of being accused of shameless self promotion: https://windyridgefarm.us/EZ-PZ_Base_Kit.php Its a simple and affordable way too add a couple rear remotes. The only downside is the hoses for the remotes do have to be run under the tractor and all the way to the rear. Dan
