My dealer recommended removing the detent functions from the rear remote...

Thanks everyone. Called the dealer back and added the front plumbing for the grapple and decided to add a sun shade. Wallace was right on the money about the rear remote. My dealer told me there'd be no real savings on the back remote either way so I'm going to get used to the tractor and see what and if I really need them. Going to be a long month waiting on that tiller though. Thanks again. I'm headed over to the implement section to talk about grapples!

Sorry I am late replying but another option that would save you some money is to just buy the kit and install the extra rear remote yourself. I'd use the first remote for a topping lift and then use the second remote to control a grapple or 4n1. I'd definitely go for fluid in the rear tires too. A 900 lb tiller will be good ballast too.

$900 for electric over hydraulic wouldn't be a bad price. I'd forgo a plain diverter valve for that money. The rear remote is just as good for controlling a grapple. Just need to get used to it as you would with 4 on the floor.

Congratulations on pulling the trigger. The DKse family of tractors is great. Love mine.

The dealer describe it as another valve and a different lever being mounted beside the original so its not electric over hydraulic.
Thanks
