I am looking at a JD8 BH with sub frame, wondering if it could be fit to a L3010? The 3010 does not have hydraulics at the rear PTO. Thanks

Several things come into play:
Is the JD BH you are getting equiped with an open center valve or a closed center valve? It must be an open center valve, a closed center valve will not work.
Your going to take some work to alter the BH bracket to fit your Kubota.
And yes you will have to add a PB loop to the tractor to run the BH. ;)

A JD8 is open Center. I was able to mount it on my L235 using the JD subframe.
I got a B3300 and instead of modifying it, I purchase a kubota subframe and modified the back how to have a 4pt mount like the newer ones. I'm planning a Thread on the entire build, but got stalled with making hardlines for the top n tilt and powerbeyond I am adding for the backhoe.
If you are handy, you should have no issue on your L3010

How difficult, and expensive is it to bring hydraulics to the back PTO area, is that just 2 hose connections? Was the modification of the JD sub frame to the L235 a major project?
Thanks
