    On mine, its on the left side where yours looks blank. I have mine on #4 with the flail mower setting. Left side is one way and right side is two way. Next time I am by the ex I can take a pic. but seems your missing a setting. Do you have dual hydraulics or just share the line for the thumb?

    I have one aux hyd running down the boom then you can see where it shares with the thumb hyd hose.

    Ok, I have dual hydraulics. So you will only use the right stick and have to change it to one way flow. I can't remember if the rut will spin backward or what. I think I had to swap the hoses. Might be worth contacting your dealer as I am not a pro Kubota guy. I know it was my first hydraulic implement and only took a very short time to figure out.

    Switching the hoses did cross my mind but Rut said it was all set up for a kx 057-5. I will call Kubota first thing in the morning then call Rut. Thanks

    Got it going! I knew it had to be something simple. Kubota said my setup in the cab was correct so it had to be the reversing of the hoses. Called Rut and they said their hyd pumps only run one way so reverse the hoses and no damage was done.

    Nice to hear it was just the hose thing. Now that its working, how do you like it?

    Man that thing is Sweet! It does a very good job. I have plenty of work for it on my property.

    Yup and the cab on the -5 kubota is much quieter than the -4 models. Its also sealed from dust and stuff. When mulching with that cutter, it feels sure footed even at full extension. Only time I saw it feel tippy was when I was on a slight tilt and reached down hill.

    Only thing is that I have to keep a strap on my hyd thumb to keep it from creeping down. Not a big deal though so far.
