Looking to put a third function on my FEL as well as my BH92.

Looking to put a third function(s) on my FEL as well as my BH92 Hoe. Does anyone have any experience doing this? I am aware of the WR Long kit, They told me I would need 2 kits, one for FEL thumb and one for the BH92 backhoe thumb. Looking for something less $$ as well as possibly one integrated block with two separate circuits. Would a diverted setup work? Any input is greatly appreciated.

A diverter valve will work for a grapple.

You could also get a double solenoid kit and control two functions.

Two of these. 12 VDC 10 GPM OC DA SOLENOID VALVE

One of this.. 2 STATION DO3 SERIES OC SUBPLATE

Some hoses and fittings and switches.

Hydraulics:
Valves: 3 optional
Pump flow: 9.8 gpm [37.1 lpm]
Total flow: 14.7 gpm [55.6 lpm]
Steering flow: 4.9 gpm [18.5 lpm]

That looks good! Where would the best place to plumb it in? I believe my Hoe is plumbed into the power beyond port on my loader block.

The 3rd function can go in series between the loader block and the 3pt.

The loader block out hose would connect to the IN port of the subplate and the OUT port would connect to the 3pt.

All valves should be in series.

Awesome! Thx a bunch J_J!

Okay, I just received the parts you recommended J_J. I cannot tell or find which is the in and out on the loader block. (Cant find a schematic anywhere, it's a LA853 with a YW240 loader block. There is also another block directly underneath that seems to split everything up, I.e, to the Hoe Attachment, 3pt etc... Your help is appreciated!

I am looking at a PDF from Messicks Kubota and it shows which line goes where.

So, go to to Kubota Parts | Full Service online retailer, enter your loader number and in about 10 sec, they will send you a PDF of the loader.

It may look like this.

so I am attaching from whats marked 3ph valve to my my solenoid block and returning from my solenoid block to the hose going to the 3ph correct?

Not to be a PIA, is it an option to put in series with the backhoe circuit? the reason I ask is that I have a lot of room to mount the new solenoid block back there?
