I have a quick question I have a loader kit on my L2600DT. My question is I want to add a single remote for a mini backhoe attachment. Can I just tee in to the Pressure line and return line or do I relly need valving?

You can NOT tee into the pressure line. The pressure would always flow to the lower pressure line and the implements would not work properly.

Run the line from the Power Beyond in a valve to the next valve. The fluid flows from one valve to the next until one valve gets activated.

You need to use valves if you want each implement to be able to work.

You can remove any implement and valve from the system if you don’t need it to work while using the other implement but that is a silly way to use it since the costs of having all implements working in very little.

Search for rear remote installation and you will find many diagrams on how to plumb in a rear remote and a backhoe. You should post information on this “mini backhoe” and then you will get better information.

Other than the 4 lines going to the bucket for lift and curl; how many other hoses are attached to the FEL valve (I'm guessing 3 but check on that).

Do you need a rear remote and a connection for the backhoe (or do you just need power to the backhoe). Assume the backhoe has it's own valve body.

No tees.
  1. Disconnect loader power beyond from tractor and run it to rear. Put a female coupler on it - thats the backhoe supply.
  2. Put a male coupler on a new hose and run it forward to the port disconnected in step 1. Thats your backhoe return.

When the backhoe is not connected loop those two couplers together.

I get ahold of the attachment next week. All I really noticed on it was the two quick disconnects hoses. It's raining but I when out and got a couple of pictures. (I not turning down any kind of help. Because I really don't want to have to add a pump and a tank, and I like to learn more as well) It does have 7 hoses. Four for the curl and boom cylinders and three to the rear of tractor. Looks like two pressure lines and a drain line. Thanks for chiming in

Oh wow that looks easy. Thanks a lot.

Okay I see two hoses at the block, where does the third line from the FEL valve go? It may be shown somewhere but I don’t see it.

Are you talking a three point BH?
Make sure you get the top link reinforcing bracket.
And you'll need a BH loop not a remote.

Or are you talking a BH bucket for the loader?
If it's that then what you need is a Third function valve for the loader.

This is what I did several years ago and have never had any problems with it whatsoever. Very simple.

Kubota L175. 2 cylinder diesel. Raw materials for the loader assembly from a Ford 703 loader system. Hydraulic cylinders from Surpluccenter.com. I know NOTHING about the hydraulic valves of the 703. My very FIRST hydraulics project.

OK, I just read the responses about "no tee". Well, that's what I did. That can be backed out, but then how do I give power to my cobbled together end loader?

In the current setup, if I pull back on the 3 point hitch lever until the 3 point hitch stalls in up, the end loader has all the pressure it needs. If the 3 point hitch lever is in the neutral position, nothing happens. I'm guessing the 3 point hitch valve dumps everything back in the reservoir until the lever is pulled.

If I install a cutoff valve in the line to the 3 point hitch hydraulics, it would cure this, but at the cost of the hydraulic pump relief valve operating full time.

I am counting on your knowledge to help me solve this puzzle.

No. No, No!!!

Stop experimenting and start asking questions. You will get good solid advice and its not hard to do.

Start by posting a picture of the loader valve and where you stuck that tee.

Read the first posts in this to see how you would need to get the pressure instead of a tee.


notice the new cover added is actually like cutting a tube in two and diverting the flow to a new path and finally retuning to the other side of the cut and then on to wherever it went before.

You may or may not have that same block mount on your tractor.
