Kubota BX third function kit wire quick disconnect plugs

[realpdm]

I just purchased a BX23S and had the Kubota dealer install a third function kit for me as part of the purchase so I could use a grapple at some point in future.

The first time I went to disconnect the FEL I notice there are two wiring harnesses I need to disconnect which control the third function operation. One of these connectors only has one wire in it. I'm wondering if I could replace both these connectors which some other quick-connect harness and get all the wires into one unit. It makes me nervous the one wire hanging out by itself and obviously unplugging 1 thing instead of 2 would be better.



Thanks,
Phillip

Wouldn't know why not. Get a quality connector and solder the terminals on the wires if possible

I'm guessing you now have an electronically controlled diverter valve up front on the loader frame?

yeah, there is a button to turn it on and a button on the control stick that enables it. When you turn it on you can hear a solenoid clicking. It seems to divert the tilt function to the new hydraulic connections.

I can't wait to get a grapple to try it out, but I ran out of money after the tractor!

Yep, that's how it works. The joystick button is usually momentary. Hold it in and the new circuit works. Let off and the original circuit works.

I'm not sure why they wired an on/off switch into the system? Maybe to keep you from accidently creating pressure in the new circuit with no impliment attached?

I'm guessing that's the single wire plug?
