Do a little forum reseach... our guys like J J have posted in some detail about how to buy the necessary blocks, fittings and valves from places like the Surplus Center to do it own your own. There have been some threads on doing just that.

I just got some fittings and hoses from the Surplus guys, and spoke with a man there who seemed to have a LOT of knowledge about hydraulics. I think working with what's on this forum, and someone like the guy I mentioned, you could do it without much worry and at a reasonable total cost. The kits are nice, but there's nothing magic about them. Sure is nice to have the extra circuit(s) when you need them.

You can order the Land Pride 3rd Function Valve Kit #380-166A and download the PDF file to install it. You can order the kit from your Kubota dealer. This kit number is on the one for the MX series tractors, but most likely your dealer can get one for your series tractor. I imagine the kit is basically the same one, or you might be able to modify this one to suit your needs. Also Everything attachments has some available for Kubotas as does W. R. Long. I prefer the Land Pride one as it is a slick and easy install. They cost $650-$700.

I've installed rear remotes and third functions from scratch on my own tractors in the past.
The Land Pride kit is very nice and reasonably priced at $685.00 from Messicks.
Try contacting Fit Rite Hydraulics he may be able to put a kit together for you.
When I installed a true 3rd function from scratch on my L4240 I spent a little over $600.00, it is a cleaner installation than the factory kit.

12 VDC 10 GPM OC DA SOLENOID VALVE

1 STATION DO3 SUBPLATE OPEN CENTER

Some hoses and fittings, and switch.

A 3rd function will give full flow, no feathering.

If you want a diverter valve. Can feather using the curl stick.


SAE 8 15 GPM DOUBLE SELECTOR VALVE 12 VDC P15544-1

http://www.surpluscenter.com/_MoreSpecs/i9-5117.pdf

Some hoses and fittings and switch.

Your joystick curl will control the grapple when selected.

If you have regen, it might affect the grapple as the regen is in the first part of lever movement.

Probably less than $300 if you do all the work.

Hydraulics:
Valves: 3 optional
Pump flow: 8.3 gpm [31.4 lpm]
Total flow: 13.2 gpm [50.0 lpm]
Steering flow: 4.9 gpm [18.5 lpm]

I got a land pride kit from my dealer for my b2620, nice kit! Great fit and finish! No complaints using it with my grapple. It was around $650
