The cleanest way to add rear hydraulics to the B3030 is with the Kubota Rear remote options - about $500 per IIRC thru "wholegoods" - you can get up to 2. Stock numbers & MSRP here B series 2007

You can also use "COTS" valves - plenty of threads here on how to do that by tapping into the FEL power beyond port. May be less $$ but significantly more head scratching involved.

The cleanest way to add grapple capability is with a 3rd function or solenoid selector valve from WR Long - ~$400 IIRC.

The alternative would be to plumb hydraulic hoses from the rear remotes to the front for the grapple.

The easy way to power the thumb would be from one of the rear remotes. The fancy way would be to add a foot switch ala the Woods BH90-X option - see here for details - woods hydraulic thumb manual You'd have to engineer the cylinder size, mount & thumb etc for your hoe.

an easy toplink solution is available here CCM (tbn sponser). I have the 18 - 26.5" version on my B3030
