When I went to buy an L3901 three years ago I was appalled at the crappy rear remote outlets that Kubota provided. So the first thing I did when my tractor arrived was fabricae an outlet mounting panel for the rear. After several years of using teh tractor I decided it wasn;t optimal and set out to duplicate the OEM outlets used on most of the much nicer OEM outlets used on the other models. They are nicely done and Kubota thinks quite highly of them - about $500 per set highly!!!
Then I started looking at the outlets on their bigger agricultural machines and decided I liked them even more. So here is my hybrid DIY implementation of the two.
The couplers are Faster 4SRHF one hand push/pull couplers and can be connected and disconnected under full system pressure up to 3600 PSI. No more fighting with residual pressures.
The couplers are mounted in individual support blocks that are modular and can be stacked up to 3 high like the very pricey OEM outlets The blocks are mounted to a cross bar (stay in Kubota speak) that bolts to the existing fasteners on the fender stays. The stay is drilled for three stacks left, center, and right for 9 sets on the back of an L01 and if you are a glutton for punishment I am sure you can cram on more.
The blocks are either free flow or can incorporate double pilot operated check valve to prevent drift. Cost for a set of free flow outlets is less than half of the high dollar OEM outlets. The DPOCV option adds another $125 but is still less than OEM.
I only purchased two couplers for prototyping and I am waiting on Faster to ship some more but decided to share a few pictures.

This series, compliant with ISO 7241 part A, can be screwed directly into valve ports or rigid pipes and offers the breakaway function (no hose break in case of unintentional hose pulling exerted by the tractor, thanks to disconnection of the male half). The valve seal resists to extrusion for...
