Here is a third option that I kind of like. It uses the swing pump for the remotes. I have sketched in one possible connection to that circuit that would require nothing but a couple hoses.Thanks for your patience. What I'm sure is obvious, besides needing advice with the remote hydraulics, I am inexperienced in posting in online forums, and I get out of sync with replies, etc.. Given what is known, what configuration is more desirable in your opinion:
"Put your remote valve in the circuit just ahead of the backhoe outlet that is supplied by the implement pump.
Tee the tank return on the remote valve into any of the existing tank returns.
Done.
Your remote valve is permanently in the circuit and can be used with or without the backhoe on the tractor."
or
"I use the backhoe swing pump connections for my rear remotes. No permanent piping changes needed. Just use the swing pump quick coupler and the backhoe drain line quick coupler. I don't need the remotes when the backhoe is on."
If the first approach, is this correct?: I should disconnect the power beyond feed from the pump at backhoe inlet, route that to the pressure in on the remote valve assembly, connect the remote valve power beyond to the backhoe inlet, and then T into any convenient return hose.
But it looks like Kubota has provided a hydraulic outlet block (circled) in the middle of the swing pump hydraulic pipe. What its used for is currently a mystery to me but if you can find the part number for the diverter block that replaces cover #20 you might have a more OEM connection. I would not be surprised to learn that outlet is used for the OEM remotes....
