I do not have any aux rear hydraulics on my Grand L5240 and the costs from the dealers were huge.
I found a simple manual diverter valve kit on ebay. Would be cheaper to build yourself but the hoses were already done and this was pretty easy.

Only issue was I could not find a good place to mount in the cab so I built a mounting plate where the slow moving vehicle trisngle was. Now the valve is just behind rear window so its easy to divert from loaded to rear. This basically allows you to redirect from the up/down on front hydraulics to the rear and back and forth by pulling/pushing a knob.

I am sure if you search ebay for "Remote Hydraulic Kit - Kubota B, L, & M Series Tractors Simple 15 min. install" you would find what I used. $590 shipped.


Here are some pics of what I did. You can see how they attach to the loader lines. You can then see behind cab how I mounted the valve and the extra hydraulic ports. Have not been able to use it yet but was a good project for quarantine time.
