I have been on TBN since I purchased my tractor last year and I can't thank everyone here enough for everything I have learned lurking around on the board. I haven't posted becasue being a newbie I didn't think I have much knowledge to contribute and so far I have been able to dig out the answer to every other question by searching old posts but after 3 nights of searching I am still a little perplexed on a rear remote setup and I am hoping someone like MadRef might be kind enough to help clarify the situation...
I have done extensive research and have a clear idea how a rear aux valve setup would be installed using a 3 line system tapping off the power beyond port on the loader valve to add an aux valve in series to the rest of the system.
Per MadRef:
"The proper way to connect your aux valve would be to:
1. disconnect the hose that goes from the loader's PB port to the hydraulic block at the hydraulic block.
2. connect the loader PB hose, using the appropriate nipple/fittings, to another hose that will be connected to your aux valve's inlet port.
3. run a hose from your aux valve's PB port to the hydraulic block and connect it to where the loader's PB hose was previously connected.
4. run a hose from your aux valve's outlet port and tee it into the loader's return to tank line at the transmission sump."
My question becomes when you just need a rear remote quick connect point for an attachment like a log splitter that has its own valve I am bit confused becasue this looks to be a two line setup and confuses me about how this works based on the 3 line logic outlined above. Here is my understading of how I would setup the rear remote quick connect points on a B7610 for a log splitter.
If I understand correctly what I have read on other posts you are essentailly creating a loop where you can interrupt the power beyond port that is currently on the loader valve and insert the log splitter into the series.
This setup requires that when the log splitter is not hooked up you connect the two rear remote ports together to complete the circut again or you will damage the pump.
To accomplish this you would:
1. disconnect the hose that goes from the loader's PB port to the hydraulic block at the hydraulic block.
2. connect the loader PB hose, using the appropriate nipple/fittings, to another hose that will be connected to quick coupler mounted somewhere on the rear of the tractor.
3. Connect another qucik coupler at the back of the tractor and run the line to the hydraulic block and connect it to where the loader's PB hose was previously connected.
This sounds logical becasue when you connect the two rear ports and complete the circuit it is like you didn't change anything but what I can't understand is when you attach the log splitter in between the ports you are placing a valve into the system and from what MadRef explained about a rear aux valve you would need a 3rd line running back to the tank on the low pressure side. The splitter seems to only have two conncections.
Three questions:
Is my desription of how to setup the rear remote quick connects correct?
Why doesn't the log splitter need a 3rd low pressure line to operate properly?
When the splitter is hooked up (and not being used meaning the valve is centered) can I still raise and lower the 3PH?
BTW the splitter valve is a "Prince open center, spring to center neutral control valve".
Thanks in advance for any help and I am sorry if I am utterly confused and off base here...
