Just to help you out a little more in your thought process in regards to hydro, there are some things you can modify in the field that Deere says you cant, and a couple things that you can, but are prohibitively expensive. Such as....
Front 3rd fuction. Parts are available, but without this option from the factory, the parts become ridiculous. Figure the fact that the stick is even missing the buttons. The loader control mounted on the frame is only a 2 port and one solid manifold The wiring is in the harness, but since the steel lines arent present up fron too, youd pay an arm an a leg.
Backhoe 7th function. Deere says cant be field modified, but the parts are available and even listed as a kit. The valve is a bolt together, so installing number 7 isnt a major ordeal. You can even make up your own hydro lines. This is something you can add on if you need it. Im not saying cheap, but it can be done.
Rear work ports and diverter. Im working on researching this now. The manifold lists for 2k, and thats without any steel lines. But the wiring is present. Deere lists a diverter kit in the parts diagrams but doesnt include numbers. Theres a possibility this could be modded in, but dont hold your breath. But there is a work around.
Rear power beyond. The connection to the hoe can be use as a power beyond circuit. I recently modified my setup and removed the permenant hose and attached it to the hoe. Instead there is a male quick connect. A short jumper hose is used when the backhoe is off which cleans up the twisted hose mess. It also allows me to run anything i need directly of those ports. You can do this too even without moving the hose The work around for the rear ports is to setup a 3 spool valve that clamps to the rops and quick connects to the ports. Loader stays functional with the ports attached. Take it off when you dont need it
I dont use eithier hydraulic lines yet, but if you find one with the rear ports and you plan on using the tractor to grade with a box blade and top n tilt, buy it. If not, get the one with the front connection since there is no easy work around. If you imeadiately plan to use a thumb or auger, then look at the rear hookups, but they are definately the easiest to modify. Having it all stock is the cats meow, but unless an individual ordered it that way, good luck finding it.
Happy shopping!
Btw, im a lurker, not a poster, ive been a member for a while and have a 110. I like to read and learn, and post when i can contribute. Im also someone who likes to modify and tweak things . Like how to possibly make an extendahoe for a 110.
