Bear with me.....a little long winded starting this thread and questions.
I just read where Deere is going to offer a better choice for dual rear hydraulics on NEW tractors. Having recently bought a 3320 with one set of rear remotes and single svc valve.....and WANTING to add a second set.....I understand the need for a better set-up from Deere for these tractors.
My used tractor came with the above mentioned rear set of couplers and they have the JD hoses and hard lines run to the front of my loader for a grapple. I bought a LD Marham Grapple and installed it with the JD Hydraulic set-up. It works beautifully....and I don't mind moving my hand from the joystick to the svc handle located right next to the joystick.
My back "went out" just as I had bought the tractor and hooked up the grapple....so I have not been able to use it n the field yet. I just had back surgery yesterday (removed piece of a ruptured disc).....so I am "hung up" at home for a few weeks to heal.
I want to add one more set of couplers at the rear in order to run a hydraulic top link and occasionally run a cylinder on my landscape rake. I have considered just using the coupler set up I have and just switching hoses .....but a second set would really be nice. I am also considering purchasing a stump grinder.....which requires two sets of couplers to operate (although I could use one set from the loader dump function). But, I really want to be able to operate my loader when the stump grinder is on to secure the tractor to the ground and move chips, etc. All that connect / disconnect stuff gets old.
I really thought it was going to be easier to accomplish my needs when I bought the 3320. And must say I am a little disappointed in that Deere doesn't offer better set ups to add hydraulic remotes....but such is life.
What should I do?? I really want two sets of rear hydraulic couplers to run these cylinders (my grapple and top link full time...and occasional implement cylinder and occasional 2 cylinders for stump grinder ). I would switch hoses for the occasional uses.
Options as I see it are:
(1) Fasse type diverter valve at rear of tractor "pluged" into my current hydrualic outlets. This would add one set of two outlets and a switch. Not sure how this would work a stump grinder. Cost seems most reasonable. I think Deere Dealers offer this as a "plug and play"??
(2) Power Beyond with a valve located ________? (any clean set-ups?)
(3) JD Diverter set up. Requires switches and its expensive.
Has anyone got a pic of the JD / Fasse valve located at the rear of the tractor with two sets of couplers directly on the fasse valve or?? This occurs to be the easy way out.....but I have not seen an installation like this.
Advice on which way to go for my situation?
I cant get out of the house to go to the JD dealer and look at stuff and ask questions...due to this back issue. I kinda want to make some decisions so that when I'm able, I can have the stuff to get this project completed and get some beet juice in my tires and get my tractor hauled up to my land.
The hardest thing is buying a new tractor and then look at it stand there for six weeks or more with a back issue....I hope I don't have any hidden problems....lol. :laughing:
