Very detailed video! I have the very same setup including the EA grapple. I ordered my LP 3rd function valve a couple years ago. Currently I have a small leak where one of the hoses enters the valve body assembly. Probably need to replace the O Ring. You will be amazed at how much work you can accomplish with this setup. Great for clearing ground, removing small trees, and especially pickup up limbs that have fallen or been cut! Thanks again for the video!
I have a backhoe on my Kubota L3800 which apparently, according to the directions, means my 3rd function installation will be slightly different. It says "IMPORTANT: Land Pride recommends that your dealer connect hydraulic hoses (#12 & #13) to your tractor’s power beyond port and loader valve port. Improper hook-up could cause damage to your tractor. IMPORTANT: DO NOT connect hydraulic hoses (#12 & #13) to the loader valve and power beyond port if the outer block feeds equipment mounted on the back of the tractor such as a backhoe. The instructions below do not apply in this situation. Have your nearest dealer hook-up these hoses. Improper hook-up can damage your tractor."
Larry I’m installing the same kit on my l3901 currently and I too have a backhoe . Is there a way you could send a picture or explain how the dealer hooked up the hoses coming off the bottom . I believe the left one ( if looking towards the front of the tractor) goes forward and hooks to the loader valve and I believe the right hose is suppose to go all the way back to the backhoe?
I installed My backhoe and Hydraulic hose kit that came with the Backhoe . Basically the hose's in the kit replace the original hose the goes from the controller arm valve assembly and down to the Hydraulic block under the foot board. The hose kit provides the Quick Disconnects at the rear to allow feeding the Backhoe with the POWER BEYOND HYDRAULIC fluid flow. It looks like the 2 fitting under the diverter are In & Out Hydraulic ports similar to the Quick Connectors at the rear. Does this make sense to anyone that has the Backhoe and 3rd Function Diverter System?
I thought of doing that but there were warnings if you did it wrong it could damage the tractor. I loaded my tractor up and brought it to the dealer service center for hook up. took them 5 min to complete.
