Powering a hyd. link?

[Flowj]

I have a MX4800 with Land Pride 3rd function kit for the grapple. I would like to put a hydraulic link on the back for a box blade. What's the best way to do this?

Best or cheapest?
Best buy the factory kit.
Cheapest make your own setup.

No one at my Kubota dealer is smart enough to tell me what I need. But I do want to do it right, so I'll search out another dealer. Thanks

These are whole goods numbers not part numbers, so go to sales, not parts.

Main kit is MX8451
First position Valve option #1: L8303 NON float
First position Valve option #2: L8304 float

There is three positions available.

Thanks for the numbers.

I just priced all the parts from Kubota to do 1 rear remote. Right at $3500 in parts and not a lot in stock. I believe I'll be going a different route. Thanks for all the replies

There is also a member here that has a company that produces the cylinders and provides the valves and mounts.

Welcome to the world of OEM prices. But that sounds way high for a single remote. Did you get whole goods prices from a sales droid or individual parts prices form a parts counter man?

Whole good prices below are from Messicks web site - grand total for 1st remote is $989.
Parts breakdowns are from Kubota USA:

MX8451 - rear remote base kit - includes 1st position lever and outlets - $656 (2-3 months)

L8303 - spring center valve - $313 (in stock)

Did you go though sales?
As Parts sales is always much higher.

I priced them from the breakdown part by part. The L8303 was $1384.00 alone. I will call Messicks tomorrow. If I can get the parts for $1500 or less, they'll be ordered tomorrow. Thanks so much.
