I recently took delivery of an LX2610. The first thing I did once they got if off the trailer was to fold the ROPS so I wouldn't forget and tear my garage door frame out. The first thing I did once my ass was in the seat was raise the 3 point so the rear blade could clear the dip at the end of my driveway. I suppose it doesn't speak very well of me, but somehow I feel better about myself when I see that Neil Messick's own LX3310 has the same bent top link that I had less than two minutes into my tractor ownership! Lesson learned!
Very glad I had the dealer install this when I bought the tractor😊 I think I paid $1000. Some stuff is just way easier up front when you buy the tractor.
I have an L4200 and had my Kubota dealer install this when I purchased the tractor used last year. The tractor stays on my woodlot about an hour from my house and trying to install this while on a dirt driveway and swatting mosquitos and horse flys didn't seem like a fun project. Was well worth the price.
I'm getting ready to install the exact same valve on my B2650, and so I've watched several installation videos on the subject. Yours is the best I've seen so far. I'm not sure if it is because I've already seen all the others, or because you covered the installation from a different approach, but I found your video to be very helpful for what I'm about to do. Thanks
I put one on my Kubota with a backhoe everything was pretty easy except for where to hook up the hydraulic lines I ended up taking it to Messicks/Halifax and the mechanic hooked it up but even he was scratching his head a little but he got me fixed up. I have a grapple for the loader and I also use the 3rd function for the backhoe I converted the thumb to hydraulic works great 👍
I wish someone would make a video installing a 3rd function with a backhoe no one has one and not a lot of info on the net your video was very helpful though showing exactly what ports thank you
that's actually easier. the backhoe should already be plumbed at the "power beyond" port with two hoses going to the rear of the tractor, one is pressure to the backhoe, one is return back to the tractor. follow the hoses back and (on my MX4800) is an aluminum block just under the r/h side of the loader. undo just the hose that is pressure "out" to the backhoe"- the pressure "in" side of the 3rd function valve hooks in to there, the "return to tank" side of the 3rd function valve hooks to the backhoe "pressure in" hose that you removed in the first step.... and if i remember right the pressure side of the backhoe hoses is the one with the male side of quick connector. hopefully this helps .

@@mattcanfield6384 yeah, i am about to drop the dime on an L3301 DT and i am mulling having it plumbed from dealer OR diy. Did the kit come with all the hoses and wiring?
@@MrManic52001 it came with everything but the couplers you pick which style you want to match your equipment it's a pretty easily install if your halfway mechanical and understand how third functions work and how the oil flows
FWIW: i put a dash mounted switch to control power to my third function switch and a red power indicator light. i only turn it on when i have something attached to the front loader that requires hydraulic power like my grapple. this way i don't accidentally actuate pressure to the front when i don't have a need to. this saves on accidental pressure spikes when operating the loader
Need to mention that when mounting the hose to the loader that the hose wont be pinched or stretched through all loader and bucket movement. Sounds obvious but it happens all the time.
I have this WR Long kit on my cab tractor, the dealer mounted it below cab on the rear of tractor. This works great, out of the way and no chance of me ripping the wires out of valve when working around trees/brush. Reasonably priced kit to get the 3rd function
I built my own 3rd function setup from spare parts at my shop and ordered the handle / switch online. I had trouble seeing the markings on the loader valve so I called my dealers shop to ask if they knew the layout. They had no idea what "power beyond" even was.....I wish I had been able to buy from you guys! By the way - if there's room (depending on model) the valve is better protected mounted on the other side of the loader frame in between it and the hood / engine shroud.
@Jordon Carlson Trade school? What's that? Is that where they teach new "techs" how to charge their laptop for diagnostics and email the factory tech support for help when they don't have step-by-step instructions with pictures?......I've got guys with 10 years plus in equipment work who still think every hydraulic fault starts with "the oil in the tank must be low"!
@@MessicksEquip Could you talk about how an afterMarket dual lid Grapple could negatively effect the Kubota Hydraulic system. I have a L4060 Grand with the Dealer installed Kubota 3rd function valve, Hyd FEL autolevel and a Backhoe that I am using to carry some Huge Red Oak logs to my neighbors sawmill. My backhoe is a great counter Balance but it now leaks like a sive and now the Backhoe bucket is swinging to one side. I feel like when I hit a bump in the road the FEL/Grapple is sending a hydraulic Shock to the system. Am I harming my Tractor.
I done this to the T on my L4240 ,my grapple works great in one direction ,open or closes ,if I swap the hoses at the diverter valve quick disconnect the grapple works great in the other direction otherwise it’s always extra slow in one direction
Neil, would like to have been able to watch a video like this before I installed the rear remotes on my B2650. Among other things, had a heck of a time finding part number/correct fitting for the loader valve. Even your parts guys sent me the wrong one.
If I need a continuous flow in the rear of the tractor , can I put a hydraulic multiplier in the 3pth line? my tractor has a visible cylinder for the 3pth in addition to possibly internal lifting mechanism. thank you
Are you worried about having that valve on the outside of the tractor like that? Seems like there has to be a better option? Thanks for the walk through.
@@MessicksEquip I would like to Point out that the OEM on my L4060 Grand hangs low to the ground and has two hoses that I worry about snagging on the downed trees that Im still trying to clear from Hurricane Michael Way down here in NC!

I have a Kubota M5400 from early 2000’s. I would like to add a loader but I’m not sure where to start. It’s pretty low option. It was used in a horse barn to run the manure spreader. Thanks for any advice!
I’ve got an L2501 with a third function valve which I use my grapple. What other implements can take advantage of the front hydraulics. For example can a front mower be adapted using my skid steer type quick mount? How about a front mounted rotary anvil mower? Brush hog style?
Why is the unit not placed at the front of the tractor on the loader and use the loader bucket cylinder hoses as the feed and return lines. The default 1po1sit1ion would be to tip the bucket the other for auxillary ports.
@@MessicksEquip thank you for the reply. I would not be happy with that product. I guess I am too much of a neat freak to have that type put on my bx23. I would want the factory style installation where there would not be any extra hoses on the loader and the quick detach would not be impacted.
My LA1153 has the option at the rear so i was just going to have some lines made and use some zip ties that will hold the line to to the tractor. I can unhook them from the grapple when i change back to the bucket.Im not sure why i would need this.
Messick's I have my grapple set up like that and it’s not a big deal since my 3rd SCV control lever is right below my loader control but I would agree if your rear SCV control is somewhere else, I got Green and Yellow tractors, reason I’m asking was my buddy just bought a 3901 Kubota and wants to install a grapple like the setup I have, thanks for reply !
what are these valves rated flow? i can't find that on their website. need a valve that can function both a grapple and a motor, system is only 6 gpm so i would think it should be able to handle that.
I already have a third function on my mx5100 it works great wouldn't be without one again. But I'm wondering does kubota make a kit to make quick tach accessory arms hydraulic similar to a " bob tach"
Hey Neil, was curious if Kubota sold a front receiver for a L2501. We started moving hay wagons with our L2501 and its make life easier of their was one. I could just put a hole in the bucket, but I'd rather not. Thanks!
Another great video! I’m eventually planning on a third function myself because my need for a grapple . The work I did last week for 4 hrs cutting up a downed oak small enough to be handled into a wheel barrel could have been done in a few minutes and no back ache. There’s nothing like pushing a heavy wheel barrel past a L4701 that don’t have a grapple , Ouch.
I would have liked to seen some sheilding around that electronic diverter as it is hanging off the side of the tractor. Is there an option for that, or would someone have to fabricate it themselves?
@@MessicksEquip Looking for a OEM kit for a L4760. Are they available and come with install instructions? If yes and yes please provide a part# for the kit.
So since this kit is using the power beyond port does that mean one could use this kit and both loader ports at the same time? E.g., close grapple, curl and lift
WHY is everyone putting the diverter on the loader mount to the ouside of the tractor so hose connections stick out where they can catch on things? YOurs has less hoses... and thus doesn't have the more common 2 hose connections pointed straight out. So that's better, but I would think still vulnerable to catching hose and or wire. Isn't there a way to mount that somewhere else?
is this the same with the new LX 3310 with a 535 loader? the loader valve looks like it is in the same place as on the b3350 . are the kits and hoses the same? Has anyone done this yet on the lx3310?
that's actually easier. the backhoe should already be plumbed at the "power beyond" port with two hoses going to the rear of the tractor, one is pressure to the backhoe, one is return back to the tractor. follow the hoses back and (on my MX4800) is an aluminum block just under the r/h side of the loader. undo just the hose that is pressure "out" to the backhoe"- the pressure "in" side of the 3rd function valve hooks in to there, the "return to tank" side of the 3rd function valve hooks to the backhoe "pressure in" hose that you removed in the first step.... and if i remember right the pressure side of the backhoe hoses is the one with the male side of quick connector.
Had this installed from dealer and 3 months later its stopped keeping the grapple bucket closed and open. Its like it leaks by. They replaced it and its still doing same thing. Dealer says they dont know why. So i have to keep pushing button to keep bucket closed when loading brush. Just curious if u all have had any issues with this?
you might put a pressure gauge on the return port of the valve to see if something is causing pressure on that side. next i would move that pressure gauge to one of the grapple hoses and try again, unhook your grapple and from the quick connects and hook in your pressure gauge to one side of the quick connects, start the tractor and pressurize the hose with the gauge, when you let off it should hold pressure- if it bleeds off right away you might have a bad 3rd function valve.... maybe (more than likely) you have a hydraulic cylinder bypassing? the other way to tell is to take one of the hoses off your grapple (undo it from the quick connect on the tractor and remove the quick connect on the grapple side) and direct it into a bucket, then pressurize the other side and see if the fluid keeps bleeding off. pressure gauge should be able to handle 5000 psi.
Hey Neil, at 4:35, does Josh know, that you made him talk and laugh like a chipmunk, in what could be his first and last staring role in one of your videos?
@@MessicksEquip on an L3301 would the kit come hard line plumbed or would it be hoses? I know the new LX look sharp very clean but I expect the L series to be more function over looks.
@@MessicksEquip Thanks Neil, spoke to Nate the other day. Very informative conversation and outstanding customer service. I'm gonna go with a Land Pride 380-152A kit to get the two button control versus Wr Long's rocker style switch. I may need to have one hose made up to make it work or maybe not. Still figuring that part out. Hopefully I can use the kit in it's entirety and make it work. Also like how your website states the quantity of the various kits you have in stock. That's awesome.
Yo Neal I installed that 380-152A kit on my B7800. Had to tweak the mounting bracket and add two fittings. Bought a Worksaver 48” grapple, had two hoses made up for it and now everything is working well.
The new LX model has a 33 HP, but not released yet. While there are many happy owners of B3350s, the reality is it's quite a way short of 100% happy. The warranty work was killing Kubota I think, and some of their dealers too. They're available second hand if you particularly want one, but most people would tell you to wait for the new model.
What you are saying that is if you are planning on getting a grapple or something else you should maybe when you get the tractor you should have it put on when you get the tractor.
FWIW: i have the same "Kubota" kit...... the valve is identical, the only difference was the control switch handle. has two buttons instead of a rocker switch.
Come on guy, solenoids are not electronic, they are electric. Those are two completely different concepts and aren’t anywhere close to being the same thing.
Thanks Neil. I have a WR Long 3rd function and seeing how it’s all hooked up will help with future maintenance if needed.

Could you make a how to video fro Kubota BX 25? BX24 Tractor loader backhoe owners?
I've done dozens of videos on BX Kubota's.
So since this kit is using the power beyond port does that mean one could use this kit and both loader ports at the same time? E.g., close grapple, curl and lift
oil will flow the path of least resistance down all 3 circuits. Its pretty challenging to do them all together.

It is. I bought an LX3310 and moved the kit from this tractor to that one.
What do you do if you have the power beyond kit already installed on your tractor for a backhoe?
That is a very good question that I myself am wondering.
T the PB port
that's actually easier. the backhoe should already be plumbed at the "power beyond" port with two hoses going to the rear of the tractor, one is pressure to the backhoe, one is return back to the tractor. follow the hoses back and (on my MX4800) is an aluminum block just under the r/h side of the loader. undo just the hose that is pressure "out" to the backhoe"- the pressure "in" side of the 3rd function valve hooks in to there, the "return to tank" side of the 3rd function valve hooks to the backhoe "pressure in" hose that you removed in the first step.... and if i remember right the pressure side of the backhoe hoses is the one with the male side of quick connector.
Had this installed from dealer and 3 months later its stopped keeping the grapple bucket closed and open. Its like it leaks by. They replaced it and its still doing same thing. Dealer says they dont know why. So i have to keep pushing button to keep bucket closed when loading brush. Just curious if u all have had any issues with this?
sounds like a bad solonoid.
you might put a pressure gauge on the return port of the valve to see if something is causing pressure on that side. next i would move that pressure gauge to one of the grapple hoses and try again, unhook your grapple and from the quick connects and hook in your pressure gauge to one side of the quick connects, start the tractor and pressurize the hose with the gauge, when you let off it should hold pressure- if it bleeds off right away you might have a bad 3rd function valve.... maybe (more than likely) you have a hydraulic cylinder bypassing? the other way to tell is to take one of the hoses off your grapple (undo it from the quick connect on the tractor and remove the quick connect on the grapple side) and direct it into a bucket, then pressurize the other side and see if the fluid keeps bleeding off. pressure gauge should be able to handle 5000 psi.

@@MessicksEquip Thanks Neil, spoke to Nate the other day. Very informative conversation and outstanding customer service. I'm gonna go with a Land Pride 380-152A kit to get the two button control versus Wr Long's rocker style switch. I may need to have one hose made up to make it work or maybe not. Still figuring that part out. Hopefully I can use the kit in it's entirety and make it work. Also like how your website states the quantity of the various kits you have in stock. That's awesome.
Yo Neal I installed that 380-152A kit on my B7800. Had to tweak the mounting bracket and add two fittings. Bought a Worksaver 48” grapple, had two hoses made up for it and now everything is working well.

Do you have a 3rd function kit to fit a 7260 Cub cadet and what would the cost be? I want to get a grapple for my loader.
Email your info to parts@messicks.com
I can't find the WR Long kit on the website
We did not finish the web pages yet. To order call Nate @ 800-222-3373, opt #1.
3 , function for *L2501 would like a price
I have a bx23s is there a kit for it
Yes
O wanted to get a b3350 but was told you can't buy them anymore. Tried to sell me a b2650 instead
The new LX model has a 33 HP, but not released yet. While there are many happy owners of B3350s, the reality is it's quite a way short of 100% happy. The warranty work was killing Kubota I think, and some of their dealers too. They're available second hand if you particularly want one, but most people would tell you to wait for the new model.
does kubota have a factory one?
Yes and it is a little neater and better protected.
Wow that was real lucky
Neil what kit do I need for my L2501?

@@MessicksEquip Neil will this work on my B2601 with a BH70 Backhoe or does the backhoe use the extra port?
@@mikehobbs8625 You have the T the port.
What you are saying that is if you are planning on getting a grapple or something else you should maybe when you get the tractor you should have it put on when you get the tractor.
there seems to be a bit of leak
What made you get a career of selling kubota tractors 🤔
worked in IT for a few years, mostly contract work for the state. Decided I hated sitting behind a desk and doing 2 hours of work in an 8 hour day.
What's the bet that **EVERY** person that posted a dislike on this video is most likely a tractor repair shop owner? :-))
interesting
If you would return your calls I probably would have bought one from you.
I just hate after market stuff. Makes it look cobbled looking. Big hose and valve
FWIW: i have the same "Kubota" kit...... the valve is identical, the only difference was the control switch handle. has two buttons instead of a rocker switch.
The wrench man works very quickly and has a very odd voice...
Come on guy, solenoids are not electronic, they are electric. Those are two completely different concepts and aren’t anywhere close to being the same thing.
