I'm new to the group and am looking forward to your insight.
I have a L3200 and just purchased a used BH77 from an individual.
I purchased and mounted the subframe mount.
The obstacle now is the hydraulic hoses that connect from the tractor to the backhoe.
Does anyone have any info on the length, ID and fitting size for these hoses?
I can make the hoses if I know the specs, or where to buy them.

Can’t find the specs on kubota, but I’ll give it a shot…(my tractor doesn’t have 3rd function or rear remotes).

the supply hose from the power beyond port on loader valve to rear connector is roughly 64”. It goes to a bracket with a short tube on it that mounts to the bracket on subframe.

I blew the factory return hose (actually pinched in 3pt lift arms), replaced it with a 72” hose.
Factory hose had a 90 degree fitting at the block under the right side floor board, I just used adapter with new hose.

The return hose is a little longer then factory and I added the 45 at the quick connect (as recommended by other members here) which clears the 3pt arms better.
Hoses are 3/8, fittings on tractor are JIC 8, and it’s 1/2” quick connects on the tractor and hoe.

hope this helps! If you need any more just ask!
