L235 rear remote

[ron_n_az]

I know this topic has been "beat to death" in the past postings but I have a problem adding a rear remote to a Kubota L235. The tractor has an FEL and a Gannon box scrapper on the rear. The hydraulic block under the seat has an in and out connection, both of which are used by the FEL. The FEL has an old style valve (made by victor, which is now bankrupt) which appears not to have a power beyond port so I can not hook it up as several articles mentioned. My question is how do I tap into the existing hydraulic system. Any help would be appreciated.

Place your aux valve in series with the loader valve. Because the loader valve does not have power beyond you will be limited in what you can run simultaneously. Right now you can't effectively work the 3pt while activiating the 3pt. The same will be true by adding an aux valve. If the loader valve is activated then valve's further up in the circuit may or may not work properly.

In essence, you have a "one valve at a time" setup. It might be to your advantage to replace the loader valve with a new one from Surplus Center for less than $200.

Mad, thank you for the information. Since you seem to be the hydraulic guru on this board, I hope you can help me with another question. Do you know of a PTO hydraulic pump that fits my L235? It has a standard 6 spline shaft but I am concerned because of the clearance (see attached pic). It appears the hitch and the PTO shield would get in the way of mounting a Prince pump so I would have to get another type.

The best info/advice I can give is that you will have to take a hard look at the size of any pump that you want to connect directly to the PTO. Check Surplus Center.
