Hello Dragoneggs,
Was wondering how your rear remotes project is coming along?

DAT, unfortunately they are sitting on my shop table. I have the remotes and the cylinders. I need to fabricate a bracket to mount on my ROPS and then determine the hose lengths to get back to FitRight for fab.
My day job which has been extensive travel lately has prevented from getting much done around the house other than to keep the grass mowed and other necessary maintenance. But thanks for the nudge... I hope to get going on this project again in June!

We are waiting anxiously. Can’t wait for a nice write up so I can copy!

Having trouble finding real estate to mount the remotes. Putting close to easy reach to the controls and not blocking the seat swivel for BH use is proving to be a real challenge!

When I was planning this and never done it; I concluded that the most appropriate place was under the FEL joy stick. Pick up the PB at the FEL control under the floor at the input port (P). Snake the hoses between the floor pan and the HST. 3 ports is than 6 hoses. I planned to use 1/4" hose as most rear functions will need an orifice anyway to slow down actions.
Reminder, you promised to let me know when to come over and commiserate with you.

Yes, Ron... have definitely not forgotten your offer... just need to find a day. Crazy is my work schedule and when not working for a living, I have to do family or other higher priority things. But I shouldn't be complaining.
On the placement, yesterday in fact, I took the remotes to the tractor and started looking at the right side under the FEL control with some kind of a bracket coming off the FEL tower as the ROPS options don't look good.
I will be in touch!

Just stumbled on this. Might help...? I think the seat would still swivel in this position as long as you spin the “correct” way. I haven’t cut down the ubolts on my bxpanded ROPS toolbox so they stick out a bit, but I can spin the seat around without much trouble as long as I turn the back side of the seat away from the bolts.

Thanks JK... Yeah that spot over the left side rear fender is an option. I would prefer to stay on the left side away from the fuel cap but my mini Kubota tool box is in the vicinity. I will take a closer look at the link you posted and take another look. I like the idea of short hydraulic lines that are easier to route. The other thing I need to play with are the ergonomics of working the levers in that position vs. Ron's proposal up forward sort of under the FEL control.

Crap NO! Way too much work travel and other projects. Really need to get on this!!! Parts are still sitting on my workbench waiting for me to fabricate a bracket to mount the remotes. Keep pestering me and I will be guilted into getting on this. :ashamed:
