This is an economical way to do it if they have a kit to fit yours, which it looks like they do. https://summit-hydraulics.com/product/rear-hydraulic-valve-kit-for-kubota-mx-l-series-tractors-two-spool-three-spool-four-spool/ I am happy with my diy kit I bought from them. I plumbed one to the...

When I priced out my rear remotes from summit I found that the the first valve is expensive, but each additional valve was only 150, so I bought the 4 valve version, plumbed one to the loader for a grapple.

I run a 53" in very sandy soil and it works. I go very slow but it accomplishes hat I need to do. I planned to get a bigger tractor in the future so I bought on the big end of tillers. It is offset to one side so you don't run over your freshly tilled dirt on the next pass. Mine is a caroni...

I looked for one for a while, used, and they wouldcsell for 1200+ within the day they were posted. The places I got a price from on a new unit wanted 3500+ and the minimum hp is usually 25hp or so. So I ended up putting a tow bar on a 5hp walk behind blower and just tow it behind my riding...

I bought mine from sparepartsholland.com and am very happy. Shipping took about 4 days to virginia. These do ship from Netherlands in Europe just fyi. Looks like this one is close to your measurements...

I know I am bringing this back from the dead, but it is Halloween! The roll pin through the tube is the handle connection for the rear auxiliary hydraulics as you thought it was! The two ports for it are just above the valve stem and are plugged with two hex plugs with copper washers, fix a...

Video of the trial run.

Have her a trial run today and it seems to work good! Going to put a restrictor in one of the lines though because at mid throttle or above it is far too fast. Still need to get a proper size bolt and do some painting, but it is alive! Also thinking this would be a great time to add a kick...

The pump does not supply pressure to hold the cylinders in place. The control valves hold the fluid in the cylinders which holds them in place. Same story with the relief valve, unless you are making the attachment move, it is doing nothing. A bad relief valve would cause the hydraulics to be...

That is just a 1" bolt that I happened to have and used the spacer so I could clamp that weldment together as I welded it in place. Going to buy a properly sized bolt on the next trip to the store.

I have another sitting on the shelf right now to do exactly that!

After adding the summit hydraulics electric remote kit to my B8200 I decided I should make use of the extra rear remotes I now have. So I decided to add hydraulic angle to my landscape rake! I did some drawing and math and ordered an 2"x8" cylinder from Magister hydraulics along with some...

Thanks! Wow those guys are pretty proud of their tubing. I saw that McMaster has the same diameter and wall thickness for cheaper, I don't know what shipping would do to that but it may be an option for ya.

Hey Dan, do you mind sharing your source for the steel tubing?

My 8200 had a bf350 mounted on it when I bought it. So that is another option if you find one used.
