Read articles →An owner-operator episode documenting a rear remote hydraulic installation on a Kubota BX25D, then verifying the backhoe still functions correctly afterward. It covers the heavy hitch swap, backhoe remounting on ice, hose routing adjustments, seat ergonomics with the new spool valve block, and a brief loader test unloading a wood chipper. Useful for BX owners considering rear remote adds who want to see real ergonomic and clearance concerns addressed firsthand.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
The owner found the seat swivel and legroom were not affected, the hoses could be routed to avoid touching his leg, and he recommends exiting the backhoe from one side to avoid catching his shirt on the spool valve handles.
No, after reinstalling the backhoe following the rear remote and heavy hitch install, the hydraulic block worked fine and the backhoe functioned normally.
He adjusted one hose to sit down tighter and closer to the fender so it would not get caught on his boots or touch his leg while operating the backhoe.
