Electric over Hydraulic question??

WR Long Electric over Hydraulic kit.

I know this kit is used for operating a grapple on the FEL. But could it be used instead for a rear remote to open and close a single cylinder on a 3 Pt. skidding grapple? And would this be a cheaper option the the NH 600.00 kit for the rear remote? Commets Thanks

Well, it just depends

It looks to me that the remote kit from NH is going to be the best option for a me for few reasons.

1. It comes as a kit.

2. There is already a slot for the lever.

3. It takes out the guess work.

yoder,

Well, it really comes down to the money or your ability to make up and install things like hyd components.

If you want to save money and have the talent, you can do it for about half.

Are you sure you want solenoid valves to operate the grapple? The electric valve operation is full on or off.

You can do it with this valve, some hoses, fittings, switch and wire.

I have not thought about the full on or full off issue. I am glad you brought that up. That would not work well for my use on a road blade or rear grapple for that matter. I got a quote today for a NH rear remote kit for under $ 600.00 including freight. I know I can install a kit. As far as building somthing Hydraulic from scratch thats another story. I don't even like plumbing in the house with PVC. I will let you know whitch way I go in this fourm. Thanks and Merry Christmas

I hope J_J or Yoder can help me. My problem is I have a NH TN65 that is equipped with the one remote and I have been dealing with the Westendorf people for a loader. The loader comes with a joystick, hoses, etc. I use my existing remote to operate a hydraulic top link, now I need another remote. I visited the closest NH dealer and inquired about an additional remote for a TN65 and was told it would be $1025.15 for the kit. I almost fainted. Surely there is a cheaper way to connect a loader than this. The existing remote is a cable operated affair for a two way cylinder. The quoted price for the Westendorf loader, a TA-26 Plus, and the NH TN65 remote will make the thing very close to Ten Thousand dollars and that is only loader delivered to an existing dealer and not installed. I am searching for ideas. I suppose I never thought it would be so expensive to add a remote. Maybe I need to forget the whole thing and look for a used tractor with loader.
My tractor is a 2001 TN65 with 800 hrs. never been hurt. around 50 hp at the drawbar. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
