L35 Rear Hydraulics?

[Anonymous Poster]

Does anybody know if Kubota, or other company, offers a "neat" setup for rear (remote) hydraulics for the L35 Tractor/Loader/Backhoe? I would like to use "top-n-tilt" hydraulic cylinders on a box scraper (with hydraulic activated ripper teeth). The setup all the dealers offer mounts on top of the right fender (or bar). It includes the valve bodies with handles on top...oil leaks and hoses everywhere!! Every one that I've seen is a mess. Looks like a poor aftermarket solution. I'm considering electro-hydraulics (www.vandminc.com) but I'm afraid I won't get the "feathering" needed.
Please Advise...thanks.

Dave,

If you find a good set up, let us know. I have looked for a kit type system for the B21 with out any luck. Guess I need to talk Bird or one of the other hydraulically knowledgeable types to vacation in my area./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I did notice that TractorSmart offers remotes as an option on the L48, so there may be hope.

My neighbor has an L35TLB, and I'm pretty sure he's got T&T too. At least, I "think" I saw a top cylinder on it when I was talking to him the other day. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Don't know if it's the "neat" variety you're talking about./w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif I suspect not. Will try to get by there and find out for you./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I think I found an acceptable solution. Gearmore makes a (New) Valve Bracket for both Kubota B & L series tractors for T&T setup. The bracket consists of: rollbar clamp, tubular arm with valve mounting plate, safety valve cover with instructional decal, all hardware powder coated black.

Model VB-170-3K for B series (weight 30 lbs)
Model VB-301-3K for L series (weight 30 lbs)

Or you can get the entire kit (cylinders, valve bracket, quick coupler bracket, valves, hoses, etc.) from Gearmore. (909)548-4848

Good Luck,
