Here is the item I purchased from my local Kubota dealer (& it had to be ordered, cost about $110US. Sorry the pic isn't better, it is the brochure packed with the parts & all wadded up. If you can't read a number let me know.
It operates perfectly, does not affect the 3 point operation and when you do a full run-out of unit to where it would "deadhead" or overload, it apparently has a pressure valve release & only brings the motor down a slight bit. I do have to use a "loop" when I take the unit off.....this is just a 1' piece that connects the two in/out lines together to complete the circuit when not being used. (the appliance you use has to be a free flow center design so only uses pressure when you push a lever)
I am splitting 18" pinion pine logs of any diameter at an idle speed of abt 1k and there have been few logs that have stopped me via the pressure relief valve.(only a large knot) It is only a 13 ton splitter (made by powerhorse) but works very well as it splits in both directions so is pretty fast, has side racks to hold the partially split piece, and certainly puts no strain on the tractor.
I was also thinking of using my new found hydraulic remote system with a backhoe but looking over the relative size of the backhoe compared to the tractor I decided to save that one for my old MF65 Industrial. Now that I have become a lot more comfortable with hydraulics I can see how to set that up with the existing system on ol' Jake.
So this should work very well with your
B2410 as you have this same provision, I can see it on your pic. I know there isn't a lot of room in there but it will fit fine (engineered that way). I used 3/8" hoses/fittings although the adapter is only 1/2" as is tractor. I did this because I also have the bigger tractor & the splitter will use 3/8", you could just as easily use 1/2" hoses/fittings if no other considerations. (the smallest orifice is the limit of the entire system so you are 1/2" by manufacturing design.
I hope you have as much fun as I'm having.:drink:
