Side shift mower on B 2300 HST. Whoops...B2100

Hi All
I need to fit additional hydraulic ports and control valve on to my Kubota to control a hydraulic top link and also a side shift on the mower hanging off the three point linkage. Does anyone one know if the tractor has an "open" or "closed" hydraulic system, and the best way to tap in to the tractor hydraulics? Sorry but I don't understand the open/closed terms.
Thanks in advance.
Peter

If you want a quick tutorial on hydraulic terms and definitions, go to the tech page at Surpluscenter.com. I never keep all that info in my head, I guess I am a closed center system, lol. Anyway, they have lots of good info there, not necessarily about specific brands, but the basic formulas used in the real world.

Kubota's have an open hydraulic system.

Are you sure you have an B2300? I can't find any info on a model like that. :confused:

Perhaps a B2320?

Sorry...slip of the finger....B2100.

Thanks for information.

There is a grey plate to the right of the 3 point linkage...see picture below...not sure if this is covering an auxiliary hydraulic point?

Thanks again
Peter

Yes that should be the right place, I'll see if I can't find the block that bolts up to that. ;)

Thanks....any idea where I could find a diagram of the B2100 hydraulics? The local dealer went bust a while ago.
