How To Add Rear Remotes To A Kubota BX23S or BX25D - No.21
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Add rear hydraulic remotes to your BX23S or BX25D. I install rear remotes on my Kubota BX series tractor/loader/backhoe. I used components sourced from Canadian supplier Princess Auto (PA). I have included both the part numbers and a description of the item - so if you don't have access to a PA you can find what you need somewhere else. Don't hesitate to tackle this job guys! You can do it! Comment if you have any questions or comments and I will be happy to help if I can.

Wow great job! This has been a much needed video for a LONG time. Thank you for sharing!!
I absolutely agree .... I was like “um, why can’t I find this on RUclips?”
Hi you figure out why noisy going down ,I'm gonna install my shoot control same way on my rear snowblower thank you
Thanks for this video. I followed it and was able to get the rear remote working on my BX23S. Now I can add a hydraulic top link for my box blade. I'd have never figured it out myself. LOL, In your video of making a mount for this, you mention Paul Short several times. I went to school with Paul in Labrador. Small world.
Really!!?? Awesome!! Tell him to give me a shout out on his channel LOL. Jeff I’m glad my video was able to help and all the best with your top link!!
In case you missed it… here is his parts list. I think I got it all correct, double ck.
1-BMT20/2 Monoblock control valve, rated 4.5 gpm or greater.
2-80RBM X 3/8” NPT F swivel 90* (Pressure/Tank fittings)
2-6QRB Plugs - Hex Head
4-6ORBM X 1/4” NPT M
4-3/8” NPT M X 1/4” NPT F
1 tube LOCKTITE 5452 or Teflon tape
4-QUICK COUPLER BODY 1/4” NPT F
4-1/4” Body dust plugs
2-1/4” ID X 24” hydraulic hoses w 1/4” male ends
1-1/4” NPT F x 1/4” NPT F COUPLER
I recently bought a 2021 BX23S… after I bought it I asked dealer for a rear remote kit, response was none was available! This thing has a backhoe on it, what do you mean no kit available!?!? So, thank you! You provided a simple solution that should be a factory option!
My pleasure Larry! Enjoy your new machine! All the best - James.
Good job sir!
Thanks boss!!!
You my friend are a life saver, thank you for the great video!!!
You’re welcome!! Best of luck!
James I was thrilled to find this video especially being a Princess Auto customer for at least 30 years. My question is are the lines to the trailer 1/4" as well?
No, they’re not. I just swapped out the tips to fit the remotes and Bob’s your uncle!! Good luck!!
Great job! Thanks for the help.
No problem!! Good luck!
Nice video. Thanks for posting. For my hydraulic work I have had better success using Loctite 5452. Makes a nice seal vs putting in tape that can get pushed out of the joint by the pressure.
Thanks for that! I hate using tape to be honest!
Great job explaining what you were doing
Thank you sir!
Nice work! That dump trailer is awesome! Might just have to keep my eye out for one!
You won’t regret it! Even at full price if you can keep it busy it’s worth the cash IMO. Thanks for the watch and comment Tyler!
Who makes the dump trailer? thanks
Berkelmans Welding & Manufacturing Inc.
The look on your face when it starts to go up, "IT'S ALIVE, MWA HAHAHAHAHA!". Great video, I'll have to see where to get pressure on the 2380. 👍
If it’s not a TLB model there may be a kit from Kubota to add rear remotes!! Thanks for watching!!
I’m glad someone listed the parts…what was your total leaving princess auto?
In my case I have a 3 spool and want 4 more outlets for mower control. Using a
smaller spool block makes sense since more flow will knock the tractor over.
I can’t really remember to be honest - it’s been a few years … probably less than $300 US 😃
Great video
I too have a BX 25D and now I have all. The information to do it
Thanks very much
EDWARD
This comment makes me so happy! Content creators and RUclips have saved me so much time, money and energy! I’m so happy to give back. Thank you Edward!
Nice vid...I do not use teflon tape, I use permatex or loc tite hydraulic sealer. I like to keep the covers in the tractor tool box to keep them clean. If you forget to put them on and want them on you can always nylon zip tie them on...For anyone who remembers the covers after they have all their hoses installed. lol
If my Teflon tape ever starts to leak I will for sure change to a more ideal product that you, and others have suggested! I have noticed that the covers do collect dust so that is a great suggestion! Thanks so much for the comment!
Great series of videos. I am in the process of building a walking beam trailer and would be grateful for some information about your trailer:
What is the size of the hydraulic cylinder?
How much weight have you been able to dump?
When the box is down, what is the angle of the cylinder to the horizontal?
What strengthening is there on the bottom of the box where the cylinder connects? I am aiming for a lift of 1000 kg so the force required to start the lift is substantial and I am concerned about the connection giving way.
Again, good work - thanks for your efforts in recording and posting these!
Hi Terry! Wow, sounds like an awesome project! I would love to answer all these questions for you but it's to damn cold right now to play with the dump trailer. It's full of equipment and in winter storage mode. If you send me an email at killingitcountry@gmail.com I will pick away at your list whenever I can. I may be able to get some photos now without hooking anything up. All the best - James.
Awesome video, thanks for this… I’m sure I’ll be adding this to my BX23s whenever I get it… still waiting for delivery :(
Hi Andrew, congrats on the new machine! Yes they are behind big-time with manufacturing. I just received my Kubota KX040-4 and if you order that machine now my dealer is telling me it’s a 14 month wait ... good luck with everything!
I love this project and this channel, been here before cause it caught my attention and it did it again, I need to do this to but I'm at a crossroads sort of after owning our BX23s for 1year and running into some trouble I'm wondering whether I bought to SMALL of a tractor?
But that all aside I love How you solved this problem, A LOT of guys are going to copy this one I can assure you off that !!!!! 👍
There is however one thing I would like to comment on, that's your use of teflon tape the kind of teflon tape you use..... the yellow stuff is way too thick and stiff for hydraulic application you see and that is why you where having trouble putting it on and then getting the fittings to go on more then a few treads before the teflon would just push up ....... The yellow stuff is really only for gas pipe and gas fittings!!! I hate to bring you this bad news but I'm afraid you may be in for some leaks in your future...... Maybe not.... I don't know for sure it's possible that you may get lucky and that it works OK but I would not want to bet on it......
Anyway you can see how it goes or fix it now, up to you. I think you did a great job solving an issue that is a problem for a lot of fellows out there and I am one of them so thanks, I just feel its best to also let you know when I see a potential issue. Regards Ed
Thanks a lot for the kind words and the tip Ed!! All criticism is welcome on my channel! I knew that the yellow Teflon tape wasn’t correct but it was what I could find at the store and I wanted to get it together ASAP - I was excited 😆. No leaks yet - but if it starts to leak I will probably reassemble it with either the appropriate Teflon tape or Loctite! I also need to look at installing the power beyond adapter as suggested by a few others in the comments. If you think you bought too small a tractor - you probably did 😞 I often feel the same way - I need double the HP and a cab. Again, thank you and have a great day! - James
1st time here James. I like your channel. Keep on killing it!
Thank you - I’ll do my best! 😂
Great video !!! James looks like I will be coming back for more!!! just subbed. I saw you on Luc and Ross's Channel. Loved the Ross on the land joke. I do feel Guilty when Ross Asks what did you do on the land today..... If I did nothing that day : ) Have a great week end. From Mitch and Jamie
What a wonderful comment!! Thank you! I’ll head on over to your channel and check you out - there seems to be a lot of common interests in the comments sections 😂
@@KillingItCountry Sweet that would be awesome!!!🚜💨💡😁👍
Subbed!! Have a great weekend Mitch & Jamie!!
Nice work 👍🏻, that trailer will be useful!
Thank you!! It’s awesome - but it needs to be orange!
great job I planing to do the same to my BX25 this will help thanks
Thanks Bri&Syn!! Happy to help! Let us know how you make out!
Great video, you made that install look easy!👍🏻
Thank you James!!
No tape on hydraulic fittings.
No leaks yet!! Thanks for watching!!
I found your video good. My only comment would be that you changed the way the back hoe hooks up. would be interesting to see how the back hoe gets connected. I think you said it goes into the scv to go back to tank. I'll watch again to pick this up.
Thanks for watching.
I am planning remotes but have to use electric solenoids we have a cab on our BX
God Bless All
PaK
A cab would be so nice in winter!
Good job!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!!!
I don't think the looped return goes back to the tank. I think it might power the 3 PT hitch, otherwise there would be no use for the second tank return line. The way you have it set up when you lift something heavy with the 3 PT you will be pressurizing the tank output of your spool valve. Not a great idea, you should add the power beyond adapter. That is why your backhoe connects with 3 lines, pressure in, power beyond and tank return.
I could be wrong but you may want to check before you use the 3 PT to lift anything heavy.
I’ve already used the 3pt to move a 25’ camper trailer and it worked flawlessly just as before I made any modifications. 🤷♂️ I’ve also been using a Woodland Mills WC46 wood chipper which weighs 550 pounds. I’ll keep researching ….. I’ve been wrong before. Thanks for your comment.
@@KillingItCountry It will work, but you are putting all that pressure back on the output of the new spool valve. If you operate one of the spool valves at the same time it will force that pressure to the return side of the spool and not allow the spool valve to return fluid to the tank. The power beyond adapter will isolate the power beyond port from the tank port so the spool valve will work normally no mater what is happening with the hydraulic flow out of the power beyond port. If you never lift with the 3 PT or use the backhoe and use the Aux spool valve at the same time it doesn't matter. However if you used one of the remotes for the thumb of your backhoe you may get some unexpected results when curling the bucket and using the thumb at the same time. If it works for you then no problem, however I'm not sure it's the 100% correct way to do it. This is why your backhoe has 3 lines pressure in, power beyond and tank
I purchased the power beyond adapter when I bought the spool valve ….. it’s probably no problem to put it in the system - I just have to be able to add and remove the backhoe easily and maintain the functionality of the remotes. Thank you so much for the detail of your comments - I’ll look into this further for sure.
@@KillingItCountry If you don't think you'll ever need to move the 3pt and use one of the remotes at the same time you can just connect the backhoe before the remote valve. Between the tractor and the valve instead of after it. That way it will work for your backhoe thumb. It's not a big deal your tractor doesn't really have enough hydraulic flow to operate multiple things at the same time anyway. Still a very useful video, nice to see some Canadian content on RUclips. Keep up the good work.
Great information! Thanks Bryan!
Excellent
Thanks so much!!!
How is this working for you. I'll be honest I know little about hydraulics. I thought about doing this same thing before I came across yours and, Going Bright's video doing the same thing. The reason I thought it wouldn't work comes from tractor chat rooms. There are many people who have asked about doing it this way, only to have a member of those forums tell them to study up on what the 3rd line does. The only fear/question I have about doing it this way. ( I want to so it's easily removable.) Why does Summit offers kits that plug into JD's BH ports. Their kits for bx23's don't, they have you remove the Tank and PB hardline and connect 2 hoses to those ports on the top and side of transmission.
Hi James (great name BTW!!). I don't know a ton about hydraulics either to be fair - my experience is more related to trouble shooting and maintenance than design and implementation. Having said that, I feel confident that my set-up is functioning as intended. You're right about the forums - smart people out there - but they don't know everything and neither do I! This is how I talk to myself about power beyond ... "Will I require power BEYOND this point in my hydraulic circuit?" For me the answer was no. After my hydraulic block (rear remotes), the only place the hydraulic fluid is going is back to tank - period. Whether it leaves the block via the "Tank" or "PB" port makes no difference to me and hasn't affected the operation of the tractor, back-hoe or anything I connect to the rear remotes. When I purchased the hydraulic block I also bought the accessory to enable PB if necessary. It's still sitting on my desk. People also said I shouldn't use tephlon tape because it leaks. I' still waiting for that to happen. I wish you all the best on your project! Feel free to check back ad pick my brain if you would like! Cheers!
I didn't see you add hydraulic fluid. Did i miss something?
Everybody missed something, because I didn’t film it.
Nice job. Gotta love it when a plan comes together👍🏻
Thank you Brian!! I can’t wait to start digging & dumping!
Good job! 👍
Thanks PDJ, sometimes I surprise myself - even a broken clock is right twice a day haha.
I like what you did, gives me an idea of what to do. I noticed that you can hook a backhoe onto yours. I have the BX23s trying to control the top link to my box scraper. Do you plan on using your box scraper with the setup for controlling your box scraper?
Honestly I hadn’t given much thought to a hydraulic box scraper ... this was to dump my hydraulic trailer .... I’m always looking for new things to play with so maybe I’ll look into it!
@@KillingItCountry plase do as I have the exact same interest!
Awesome!!!
Pretty neat if I do say so myself 😆
Awesome video. Makes me want to add valves to my Massey GC1723. The only difference I see it that I have 3 lines to my backhoe. Not sure where to connect the valves or how the power beyond valve affects the system. Does anyone have a schematic for this setup?
I have three hydraulic lines to my backhoe as well. I didn’t bother connecting the power beyond because the valve block is the last in the flow before dumping to tank - I don’t think it makes a difference. I may add the power beyond adaptor to my valve block in the spring just because I know a lot of people have been asking for it and it would technically be the proper way to have it set up. I bought the power beyond adaptor at the same time as the block. Thanks for your comment Simon!!
Did you need to top off your hydraulic fluid after? After I installed the 3rd function kit on my LX2610 I was a couple pints low.
Honestly, i haven’t checked yet but it’s on my short list haha. Thanks for watching!
Does the hydraulic reservoir carry enough fluid to work the dump trailer without running low when cylinder is extended?
Hello Randy, although I haven’t looked at the numbers in terms of capacities, minimums etc … I’ve run this set up extensively for a year and I haven’t had any issues!!
I always seem to put teflon tape on backwards...
Anyone that says they’ve never done that, has never worked with teflon tape ....
Nice job, I have 2 questions, one is when you reinstall the backhoe, can you leave the remotes where that are, or you need to move hoses around, and second, could you use these remotes to control the hydraulic chute on a rear mount snowblower?
Hi Tony and thanks for watching!! I never have to remove the remotes. I have another video shortly after this one where I test the installation from the backhoe controls. Check it out. Yes you could control the hydraulic chute on your show blower from here!! All the best, James.
@@KillingItCountry I love the versatility of your install, technically it could be used for any attachments in the back, thumb on the backhoe and snowblower included, but also in the front if you want to have a grapple or any front attachments used on the FEL, I see you have some sort of quick attach on your FEL, I personally was fed up of all the compatibility issues, and installed on my BX24D the SSQA from a BX23S in the front, now I have access at all the standard skid steer attachments out there, and your kit adds a world of possibilities to that little BX, no need to a third function kit, just adding hydraulic hoses around and maybe rethink the positioning of the levers...Thanks!
I have a John Deere 2210 Sub Compact Tractor. Would this setup work on my tractor? Can’t seem to find that kit part number you used. Thanks!
Hi Joseph!! I’m not too sure about the John Deere 2210. It all depends on what you have available in terms of a hydraulic circuit. If you can locate pressure, return to tank and power beyond I wouldn’t hesitate personally but I recommend you find others with your model tractor and see what they say. There has to be someone on RUclips!! The hydraulic control block was from princess auto in Canada. You’ll need a block that matches your system’s flow rate etc.
I have a BX25D with a backhoe. Can the control valve still work to use,say a hydraulic thumb,after installing backhoe the way you have you have hoses configured?
BTW I like the setup and video.
Yes you could run a thumb off the control valve!! Thanks for watching Dave!
So you disconnect from quick disconnect going to block and hook it up to backhoe and then the control on the block and the backhoe work normally?
@@KillingItCountry how do connect backhoe so you can still use hydraulic controller?
@@novascotiadave7527 did you watch the entire video from start to finish? The answers are in the video … it’s a step by step instructional video :)
Now will it lift a full load???
The remotes and trailer are capable of lifting more weight than is safe for a BX - so I’m happy. Check out my other videos if you want to see the trailer and BX tested.
@@KillingItCountry ha....totally forgot about that video when your Bx got off the ground 😳
The result was not completely unexpected 😂
