KUBOTA HYDRAULIC 3RD FUNCTION & REAR REMOTES, DIY SOLUTION 🚜

We've been partnered with Summit Hydraulics for a couple of years now, and we're so glad we are. They've been improving and expanding their product line of 3rd Function and Diverter Kits; Rear Remotes and Hydraulic Multipliers. We'll cover what they've sent us most recently give you an overview of the three products we're most interested in. Then we'll do an install on our Kubota BX23S.

I ordered my 2025R with the front third function. It was actually 2 kits. One for the tractor side and for the loader side. I think the dealer worked on it for 2 days and I took it back another day so they could do it correctly.
Had I known I would have ordered every rear hydraulic option available.

Great video with LOTS of useful information.
Simplistic explanation too!

[leejproductions]

Really enjoyed the video. Glad you returned to the informative videos, which is your true bread and butter. Looking forward to your installation video.

Informative video Courtney! Something else you might mention is that the true third function is either on or off when pushing the joystick buttons. You can't "feather" the third function like you can with the raise/lower or curl/dump functions. A diverter, on the other hand, can feather the grapple as you are essentially using the curl/dump spool on the loader valve just sending the oil to a different set of couplers. It would be possible to install a flow control on the third function directional valve stackup, but the flow would not be variable "on the fly."

My L4060 has Kubota hydrualics, front QA remote with 3rd function plus 3 rear remotes. Installed the 3rd function/QA remote myself, let the dealer install the rears so it's warranted. What I would like is a kit for my B2410, all I have is the rear remote part Kubota make and plugged the hoses into each other when not using the log splitter. There are no remotes made for the B2410.

Great video Courtney! I bought my 3rd function from Summit and it was a very easy install. The only part that slowed me down was I had my dealer install a rear remote when I bought my tractor and they used the port on the hydraulic manifold that the instructions told me to use; but the instructions show that if that port is in use you can use another. The issue I had was the fitting on the manifold block had a different fitting so I had to buy one for only a few bucks. I also added a switch and fuse so I could shut everything off when not in use. All in all it is an awesome kit!

On our new Grand L, We just had the tractor added with the OEM third function and 3 rear OEM connections. We justed added it to our financing plan of a true 84 months 0% interest plan. We had a large down payment. However, if we get to the point that we need more than three rear remotes, we will definitely get the multiplier option. We are just using one now for a hydraulic top link, which is great.

In Australia most manufacturers other a 3rd function kit as a option with a 4 in 1 bucket, John Deere includes it standard on 2r, 3r, 4m and 4r. Most will do a special throughout the year where they will include the 3rd function and 4 in 1 bucket free

I hear the name Summit and I think of Summit Racing automotive store!
Great information on the hydraulic kits. Gears are turning….

[AndrewStobbe-kqku]

Just added a diverted to my 2022 1025r not hard at all. But if you have a factory cab on it you will need to buy 2 extra 90s to avoid the cab.

[clintjohnson]

would love to see one of these install videos for the 3E series. I see Summit has a kit for that now, not sure I'm ready to dive into that yet.

[dogpotter]

This video was right on time for me. I’m looking at adding a grapple on my Mahindra. But I will need a third function valve 1st. Can’t wait to see the actual install. I’m going to reach out to summit and speak with them about this project
Thanks

[roberthale]

Going to do the Summit kit for my new L2501 with the 3rd function with 2 rear spools for rear top link and something else

[glennkisling]

Awesome stuff there I have a 1992 1720 ford compact tractor, had a woods loader put on it, do y’all sale a kit to fit the loader for grapple Thanks👍👍🇺🇸

[gentzrayamcclellan]

I wish I would have had more external lighting AND rear hydraulics

[kdegraa]

Most smaller tractors with loaders sold in Australia with a loader come with a 4 in 1 bucket and a third function connection. It’s pretty rare to see a new compact or sub compact tractor selling without this equipment.

i spent around 3500 and a course of a month plus the hydro box leaked all the time (i think i fixed it, there was gunk in two of the threads from the manufacturing process) but i was able to use my grapple to clean up after the hurricane all by myself... made a brush pile 25'x12'x10'

[markcole]

I bought one of these kits late this last fall, haven’t hooked it up yet tho! Waiting for the weather to improve! Hope it works well.

[timsawyer]

1st!!! I have a JD (3038e), not a Kubota, but this was still interesting because I want to add this (eventually) and get a hydraulic grapple, whenever I get the money. Love your videos, Courtney!

[charlesroach]

I added rear remote and a third function from summit hydraulics on my kioti ck 25 works great
