Hello Everyone. I just purchaced my first tractor, 2007 L3400 with a loader and back hoe. I also picked up a used Agro trends snow blower with a hydraulic shoot rotator and need to install remotes. I'm looking for advice as to how to go about this. I am mechanically inclined, but have no experience with hydrolics, however I am learning something new every day. I am leaning toward having the dealer install them. Any neat ideas are appreciated and perhaps should I install a second while I'm at it? Looking to pick up a wood spliter in the future but that is the only thing I can imagine would require hydraulics in the future, but who knows. Very impressed with the tractor. lots of power and very smooth!

I don't know how to put a link in. If you go to the search put in Add rear remotes on L 3000 I think it will pull up the thread. I added one set to mine for less than half of what the dealer wanted just for the kit. I have used them a bunch during hay season and had no problems with them. A dual remote setup would plumb in just like mine. The only difference would be the valve. I bought mine from TSC and they normally stock a dual outlet vave if that is what you want. Having a loader already plumbed in makes it very easy to add the remote valve. All you do is rob the fluid going to your loader and let it go to the remote valve first. Come out of the valve back to the loader. Works like a champ. If you need some more pics or have any questions I'll be glad to try and help out.
I don't advise that you get the "kit" from Kubota. It is too expensive for one thing, awkward and it only supplies 3/8 couplings. I have been using a valve from princess auto and it is quite easy to install.
