Looking for opinions and experiences...
I want to add aux hydraulics to my FEL for my existing snowplow / and eventual grapple QA. I also eventually want to have at least one rear OEM remote but have no active requirement for it as of yet.
(#1) As one option I am looking into doing the electric diverter modification that I've read about here.
(#2)I am also looking into adding the Kubota rear aux as an alternative because I currently have no controllable rear remote. Naturally this would require controlling the bucket aux lever from my right rear fender and running lines from the rear of the tractor to the bucket area.
The Kubota remotes (qty2) seem to represent a bit more than $1K for a tractor without any remotes to start.
(#3)Changing my 2 function Woods FEL husco to a 3 function (pn1006?) seems to be about the same money or perhaps a bit more without a clean rear OEM remote solution.
(#4)Another option is to add a 2nd joystick near the FEL and using the husco's power beyond for the FEL aux function. Again, this does not address a rear remote solution but may be much less money than the first two ideas.
Finally is the electric diverter valve(#1) as mentioned first.
So, anyone have ideas opinions etc on this one?
