I have an older L2850 that I have been using only to pull wagons, rakes etc. It has no loader. I'm wanting to add a set of rear remotes to operate a rake with hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower the hay rake arms. One set of remotes but both need to pressurize ( I think). Any suggestions as to kits or where to get parts to make this work. I have been using a side discharge rake with no hydraulics, now my upgrade rake is wheeled with hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower arms with the wheels. Thank you for any suggestions or comments. Again the tractor has no loader or hydraulic levers except for the 3pt arms in the back.

So I added a Cross single remote hydraulic lever which attached into the hydraulic block right hand side lower side of transmission according to Kubota hydraulics manual just as it would be used as if it were a front end loader attachment. The lever and rear remotes work fine actually great. However, now the rear 3 pt has no power. Will lift the arms without any attachments (slowly) but add an implement and nothing. Could this be an adjustment on relief valve issue somewhere?? Any thoughts? TIA:confused:

I looked over the info I had on an L2850 and have attached the page dealing with a loader as you said that is what you followed.

Note the port on the loader valve I have circled in RED. PB for Power Beyond.

Power beyond is a fancy way of saying feed hydraulic power to something else.

In your case the 3 pt hitch.

Did you order Power Beyond for your Cross Valve? If not it is likely an inexpensive kit to buy and install.

The lack of power beyond feeding the 3 pt is likely why it does not work.

I marked in green the power beyond path to the 3 pt hitch.

Do you have a link to where you bought the Cross Valve? Or post photos of the one you mounted.

Beside the two hoses for the cylinder, you should have; P = High press IN; T = low pressure return to tank; PB = Power Beyond to supply hydraulics to the 3ph.
