I bought my L4740HSTC used. It came with a subframe snow plow and factory joystick. The joystick is plumbed to the rear remotes. I’m not really a fan of this set up as it prevents me from being able to use the power shoot on a snow blower. This is the only Kubota I’ve seen with this hydro setup. Could someone lead me to a link of what it would take to hook the joystick up to the normal power beyond location and then I could install the factory levers to run the rear remotes. Apparently my tractor doesn’t have the normal manifold that’s used with the joystick. Thank you

I am not clear from your description exactly what you have and what changes you want.
Is the joystick valve a common loader valve with two spools?
It is common for the power beyond port on a Kubota loader valve to not only feed rear remotes but also the 3 pt hitch. This is a general comment and may not reflect your setup.
It is common on the forum for owners trying to run a front mounted blower using a loader valve with a quick dump feature to run into difficulty.
I suggest you read through the following thread as it may give you some ideas.

The factory snow blade hoses run all the way back to the rear remotes. The joystick is connected to the rear remotes. I don’t have the two levers in the cab that you would normally operate rear remotes with. There is no hydro “manifold” anywhere that I see, the type that a loader would hook into and then be operated by the joystick. Just seems very odd to me how this is set up and I’ve not seen it on any other Kubota
There is no free WSM that I can find for your specific model.
I have attached two pages from the hydraulic section of a similar tractor's WSM.
The loader WSM is another complete document. It contains instructions about tying the loader hydraulics into the tractor hydraulics and makes reference to specific steel lines and fittings.
These systems are complicated. Note in the pages I have provided that these tractors have a front hydraulic block and a rear hydraulic outlet block.
My point I guess is that this is not a do it yourself situation. Without the proper manuals you are apt to destroy aan expensive component.
With hydraulics there is no "lets try and and see what happens." In an instant something cracks and is destroyed.

If I'm getting you right:
Someone has taken out the connections for where a loader would normally hook up and plumbed them to a set of remotes in the rear.
Then you don't like using the Joystick control because it either won't run the power shoot? (rotation) or Baffle?
If it's the rotation issue, it's because of the regen, you can over ride the regen by pressing harder past the detent.
If you want to change it over to a standard set of rear remotes it would require you to buy the Kubota add on to do that.
Beyond that, you would have to show us some pictures of what your looking at.

Yes that is the issue. I will attempt to post some pictures of the set up. I have purchased a loader for the tractor and would like to set it up like a normal loader and use the two rear remotes for other implements. I guess my question is what am I missing to plumb things this way?
