Hydraulic newbie

[Spitfirefd]

So I have been poking around on the forum here for a while and there are many posts that seem to speak to part of my question but I guess I need it spelled out to me so, here it goes.....
I have a 2011 Kubota B3200 with the LA504 loader and I want to add a 3rd function valve for a future 4 in 1 bucket. I also want to add a top n tilt kit to it.
1 can both be added?
2. What is the cheapest way to do it?
3. I would like to do as much of the install myself as I can.
What are the best online parts shops?

I know that there are a lot of questions so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have Any remotes in the rear now? KennyV

I don't have anything yet. I think I should start with the top n tilt 1st before the 3rd function on the front though.

The third function is probably easier and cheaper than rear remotes though both are not really difficult. I was a hydraulic n00b 3 months ago but after tapping in to my hydraulics and adding 2 sets to my tractor it all seems pretty basic now. There is a lot of great information here about adding both if you search for it and read a bit you'll find how others have done it and be able to decide on a type that will work best for you. I've run hoses from the rear remotes to my loader to run the third function for now but plan on adding a diverter to the curl circuit soon for it as it will be much better and then I can have tilt cylinder with the hydraulic top link.
Valves solenoids, cylinders and diverters from surpluscenter.com are priced pretty good and several types, there's a few online stores for fittings with a good selection but sometimes it's easier if you can get them locally.
That should give you a start, good luck.

Aux. hydraulic outlets should be standard on all tractors IMHO..
