Howdy, I'm new to the forum. Seems to be some very knowledgable people here. Well, I'm building a 3point logsplitter for my L3400. I want to use the tractors hydraulic power. What is the easiest and cheapest way to go about that. Also, I have a singe handle valve to mount on the tractor. Any help would be nice.

do you have a loader on your L3400? If you don't you will need to make or buy a adapter to go on the flange just below the right platform. Kubota don't have a remote valve option for the L3400 but I have installed a few aftermarket valves with good results.

Hi!
I posted a diagram of the Hydraulic takeoff port on a L3400 to http://www.kubotabooks.com/ It is a Word file not a pdf. The oil must go from "A" port on the takeoff plate to the "P" port on your spool valve, then return from the "T" port on your spool valve to the "B" port on the takeoff port. (If you have a spool valve with power beyond then "PB" goes to the "B" port and "T" goes to "T2" port) I have the facilities to make those port plates but the best solution for you is to just buy one from your Kubota dealer. Everthing after the port plate is protected by the system relief valve so you don't need a valve with a relief valve in it
