I recently received my new Kubota L3540 and, based on all the great info on TBN, I ordered a hydraulic top-link and rear remotes with float. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough reading - and my dealer didn't pose any questions or offer advice - so I wasn't anymore specific in my order than just that.
What I received is a hydraulic top-link with DPCV and (after some rework with the dealer) a valve with float. Now that I've read every thread about DPCV, I believe that this is a useless combination.
However, after reading all those threads I'm pretty sure that sometimes I will want DPCV features and sometimes I will want float. Since I have both in my possession - is there any way to be able to use the feature I want when I want it? i.e Is there a way to "turn-off" the DPCV when I want to float?
Or is this an impossible ask and I really need to pick one or the other? Or buy another top-link and swap them based on my needs at the time?
I love hydraulics when they work, but it can a tangled web of information and optins for an amateur...
