Never had one, no need. Everything I hook up is hay tools. Interesting though

The wire tied to the cylinder is for giving power to trailers to release brakes for back up. We move a lot of trailers and many of them the brakes lock up in reverse if you don't have power to release them

Only issue I see is, you only have 2 sets of remotes so one is now taken. On mine, I have 4 sets and I can actually use 3 at one time depending on how much hydraulically intensive the implement is I'm hooked to.

I had room for one more, but what I use the tractor for 2 is fine. I don't see using more than 2 in the future... if things change I can always use a relay switching system to add more remotes.

I don’t have any other impliments that use these valves until winter snow plow. At that time I won’t need the hydraulic top link . My hydraulic tank is on fixed top link. My equip is not for farming or ranching.

When I worked for a Kubota dealer, I installed quite a few T-N-T kits. We would use Gearmore kits out of California. They use a fender mounted 2 or 3 spool valve. I would usually install the 3 spool so that the customer had a 3rd spool available for another function if needed. Cost wasn't that much. Also installed quick couplers on all 3 functions so that the TPH could be removed if necessary. IE installing a backhoe. Just checked and you can get Kubota 2 spool factory style for the B series and 3 spool for the L series. Just remember, the cylinders would have to be ordered separately. I have also installed these. I think if I was going with a new unit, I would use the Kubota style as you won't have the valve and hoses on top of the fender. Just my thoughts.
