He unboxes the kit, mounts brackets, routes and zip-ties hoses, wires up four rear remotes off the loader joystick circuit, and explains why he chose this setup over Kubota's roughly $5,000 factory option, quoting his own $1,715 delivered price. Best for L2501 owners considering aftermarket rear hydraulics who want real installation detail and cost comparison.
Posted by the Ironheadbiker channel, an owner-operator documenting his own DIY install and openly recommending the specific aftermarket kit he bought.
Install an aftermarket diverter valve kit that taps hydraulics from the front loader joystick circuit, mount brackets, route hoses with quick disconnects, and wire up rear remotes without disassembling the tractor.
The aftermarket kit was $1,715 delivered to his house within a week, while Kubota wanted close to five grand for their factory setup, not including a top link kit.
It lets him adjust implements like a snowblower or power blade without stopping the PTO, killing RPMs, or getting off the tractor, since he can just bump the hydraulics from the seat.
He set up two sets of rear remotes, four total, so he can control top and tilt plus angle deflection on a snow blower or power blade, switching between them as needed.
