Hello, first post.

Am trying to fit an Amerequip 8600 backhoe, s/n 1005, to an M6040 tractor.

While reading the instructions from Amerequip, they advise that there are a couple of different 'styles' of hydraulic systems, open-center and closed-center; with the closed-center requiring some more involved steps in hooking it up.

Does anyone know if the Kubota has an open or closed-center hydraulic system, or if there are any other caveats I should be aware of?

Which port is the pressure and which is the return on the tractor would also be nice to know; I have a service manual but have so far not been able to determine which is which.

Thanks in advance, any information is appreciated
Jim
