I wish to add remote hydraulics. There is a hydraulic block under the right footrest which has plugs for inlet, outlet and tank and a selector screw which the operator's manual says is for a bucket or blade. The question is, can these ports be used for remote hydraulic outlets to power pulled equipment, such as a seed drill? If so, how do they hook up? I am knowledgeable enough to mount and connect the valves and lines but am not familiar with the terminology of valves and would be lost acquiring the correct aftermarket parts. I checked the Kubota dealer and they "sent my shirttail up my back like a roll up window shade".
Also, will the three point hydraulics work with remotes?

Trying to add hydraulic controls off of the front block creates some major problems with, hose routing, spool block mounting and spool block control.

You can get the factory add on control blocks that bolt right on and eliminate all the above issues.

Possible sources for the blocks are:
Dealer, try another if one is being a pain.

You can do up to 3 add on blocks:
Here is a pic of the three block set up but 1, 2 , or 3 all hook up the same way.
