Hi-

Can someone who has the Summit Hydraulics 3rd function kit on their BX tell me if the kit installs to the loader valve? Or does it run directly to the hydraulic pump? I have the Kubota BX dual rear remotes kit already installed on my tractor and I may already be using the power beyond port on my hydraulic pump for that kit. So not sure that would be an option if the Summit 3rd function kit requires the pump power beyond.

Thanks for any help!

That’s the beauty of an open center system with power beyond. You can install as many valve sets as you’d like in series (daisy chain).

PB from loader to inlet on rear remotes. PB from rear remotes to inlet on 3rd function. PB from 3rd function to inlet on 3-PH.
As long as you route from one to another like this, it doesn’t matter what the order is. The fluid flows right on through the whole circuit till a valve is opened to move something.
Drain lines all tie together and go to the tank.
