A work vehicle having a front end, a rear end, a longitudinal length and a transverse width which includes a remote fluid power supply system, the remote fluid power supply system includes a fluid pump, a fluid reservoir, a first valve fluidly connected to the pump and the reservoir, and a second valve fluidly connected to the pump and the reservoir. The first valve is located on a first side of a transverse center line of a work vehicle at one of the front and rear ends of the work vehicle. The second valve is located on a second opposite side of the transverse center line at said one of the front and rear ends of the work vehicle. In one embodiment, the work vehicle includes a three-point hitch having a pair of transversely spaced side links and an upper hitch link extending from the transverse center line, wherein the first and second valves are located on first and second opposite sides of the upper hitch link. In another embodiment, the work vehicle includes a power take-off shaft extending from the transverse center line, wherein the first and second valves are located on first and second opposite sides of the power take-off shaft at the end of the work vehicle. In at least one of the embodiments, both the first and second valves are fluidly connected to the pump by a single fluid conduit and are fluidly connected to the fluid reservoir by a single fluid conduit extending across the transverse center line of the work vehicle.
