This forum has the most most knowlegable and best informed group of participants, that I can imagine !!! So, before you "flame" me for starting another thread regarding add-on hydraulics for my L3130, please rest assured that I have done "searches" and read EVERY conceivable piece of information that I can find, and still have questions...... Short of throwing in the towel and paying VERY INFLATED PRICES at a dealership....can anyone here give me the description for a hydraulic control valve that will fit inside the spaces that have been already provided on my tractor ? I'm going to install a box-grapple, but it doesn't make much sense to pay the dollars for a "designated" valve to operate that single function, when I will eventually need a couple more remotes for TNT, etc. I've ordered Andy Tatro's grapple, and don't have any problem with running longer lines from a rear remote. Is there any information or hope for this widow's son ?

My L3130 has 3 Kubota remotes. At the time I bought, it cost me about $1300 to add these to the purchase. I have described my setup before but here goes again.
No. 1 valve controls rear QDs - used mainly for a top link.
No. 2 valve is teed feeding QDs front and rear. Used alternately for the Caroni Flail mower shift or the rotate tree shear head.
No. 3 valve goes to the front, used mainly for my grapple or the close function on the tree shear.
I have QD blocks at the loader frame to make detaching the loader easier. Also at the front cross tube of the loader for the front attachments.
I am now considering teeing in a third QD block at the rear to support a side link.

Have a L3130GST with a Bradco 408 backhoe, would very much like to have the factory remotes also but it is hard to justify the cost. Since there is plumbing to the rear for the hoe, return and power beyond will be looking at possibility for a aftermarket valve attached to support on rops. For the grapple went with the WR Long valve because it attaches to joystick and you can use one hand to run loader and close grapples (try using both handles at same time while running tractor and you will see). So to have best of both worlds you need the seperate valve for grapples and not try to use the rear remote for the grapples and consider if you will be plumbing for a backhoe as it will also offer some shortcuts for remotes also.

I only wanted the Tatro grapple on my front bucket so I didn't see the sense in adding rear remotes to the back of my tractor. So, I bought a WR Long valve kit that has the switch on my loader joystick. I love this set-up
Here's my thread on the grapple install along with pictures

I have a WR Long electric valve kit that I bought from Carver Equip for US $600. I too bought my grapple from Andy Tatro in Ohio for US$435.
