Yikes, $800 for an extra remote. What operation would I need 3 rear remotes for? I don't want to drop $800 for something I'll never use, but I'll be happy to if there's a good reason...

Here's a triple remote setup, dealer-installed, on my new Mahindra 5525 that I bought in March08.







Total cost (materials, labor): $750.

My dealer has received calls from other Mahindra dealers to get details on this setup. Maybe your dealer is one of those who called.

That is an extremely good price, and very well done. The only advantage to the OEM setups is that they are integrated into the tractor and dont stick up to snag things. Sometimes that can be very desireable as certain situations may present high risk. Also, the factory systems have a float position. [Could be yours does too.] On the 7520 the loader control valve can be pivoted down and positioned below the top of the loader upright and fender leaving all the hyd controls protected.

Flusher,
That is an extremely neat fender installation. Especially for $750. Only thing is the any drips will run down the fender. Can you give us photo of the lines going down and the left side of the fender?

Joel,
Is this some sort of Kentucky flirting? Get the girl in the chickenhouse.
Are you closer to Nashville or Louisville or Columbus?
hugs, Brandi

Somebody stole all the trees down there in Texas!

That's what I love about here in Eastern KY. The trees and the rivers.

Here're a few shots of the hoses.

Flusher,
I mean, do they go up the left side of the fender to the valves? I can't figure how they are routed to the valves....up the inside of the fender?.....up the left side of the right fender?
hugs, Brandi

Sorry. Misunderstood the question.

Those hoses are routed outside the fender between the fender and the tractor transmission case. The only holes in the fender are on the topside for bolts/nuts to attach the triple control valve and cover and to attach the bracket near the rear that carries the six quick disconnects.
