Kubota M5 - Rear Remote Valve Installation

This article describes how to install the Hydraulic Rear Remote Valve that is included with the Steward Kit.

Theory of Operation

Sabanto’s Steward kit comes complete with a set of electro-hydraulic remote valves. 

The Kubota M5 tractors come factory equipped with cable-actuated rear remote valves. 

For the sake of simplicity, Sabanto includes a 2-spool, double-acting remote valve with each Steward kit.

Each valve spool is actuated by a pair of momentary on/off 12V electromagnetic coils.

The valve, plus all necessary brackets, hardware, hydraulic hoses and fittings are included.

Check hydraulic pressure of system

Before proceeding with the installation of this remote valve kit, we suggest checking the operating pressure of the system.  After this remote valve kit is installed, it may be necessary to adjust the relief valve of the 2-spool valve, such that it isn't below that of the tractor's relief valve setting.

With the tractor's engine turned off, Connect a pressure gauge that is rated up to 3000 psi to any of the tractor's rear remote valve ports

Relief Valve Pressure Guage-1

With the following conditions, actuate the remote valve that the gauge is connected to:

Engine Speed:

  • M5 ROPS: Approx. 2400 RPM
  • M5 Cab: Approx: 2600 RPM

Oil Temp:

  • 45 to 55 C (113 to 131 F)

The factory specifications are:

  • 19.7 to 20.5 MPa
  • 200 to 210 kgf/cm2
  • 2850 to 2980 psi

If the pressure isn't to spec, consult your Kubota dealer to adjust the tractor's relief valve setting.

Wrenches Required: 1” and 1 ¼” for fittings, phillips screwdriver

Preassemble Bulkhead components

Wrenches Required: 1” and 1 ⅛” for fittings

  1. Apply sealant to bulkhead fittings
  2. Thread hyd. Coupler to bulkhead fitting
  3. Slide dust plug loop onto bulkhead fitting, then attach it to the bracket

Assemble brackets to tractor frame


Attach the Rear Remote Valve Mount Bracket:

  1. Re-tap the M14-1.5 threaded bosses before attaching the valve mounting.
  2. Mount the Rear Remote Valve Mount Bracket to the tractor using M14 bolts and washers provided.

Attach Bulkhead assembly to OEM remote valve stack

Mount rear remote valve bracket and fittings:

  • Attach the bracket to the top of the factory remote valve as shown.

For tractors with a single OEM remote, utilize the longer M8 and M10 bolts, spacers, and washers included with this kit.

For tractors with multiple OEM remotes, utilize existing studs and hardware. Place a M10 and (2) M8 flat washers between the bulkhead bracket and the remote valve stack-cap.

Attach the hydraulic hoses:

Note: Hydraulic hoses are marked with colored zip ties that correspond to the diagram below.

  • Power Beyond Hex - 1”
  • Pressure Line Hex - 1 3/16”
    • Gray:       Pressure Line
    • Black:      Power Beyond Line

Remote Valve Port and Hydraulic Coupler Plumbing

THEORY OF OPERATION: The remote valve included within the Steward™ kit is a 2-spool momentary on and off. The intended use of the spool A is for pull-type  implement raise and lower.  Spool B is for pull-type implement wing fold/unfold.

  • Switch 1 is intended to control spool A, while Switch 2 is intended to control spool B.
  • The following diagram illustrates switch positions, Valve Spool A/B and the corresponding hyd. coupler locations. 

Remote Valve Port and Hydraulic Coupler Plumbing (cont’d)

  • The following images illustrate where to connect each hose.
  • Each hose will have a colored zip tie on each end to help designate where to connect each fitting.
  • Some tractors are unique, but we recommend routing the hoses along the RH side of the tractor’s transmission case. Secure the hoses together and away from the tractor's tires, while still allowing the tractor’s linkages to move freely.

Note: Hydraulic hoses are marked with colored zip ties that correspond to the following diagram
