New L6060, what's wrong with my rear remote?

[jonsstihl]

I can't believe Kubota doesn't sell a rear remote with detent. all those people with wood splitters are stuck with a bungee cord on a 60,000 $ tractor. Another reason to stick with my 40 series.

Quit fiddling with it!!! It's brand new - it's under warranty - GET THE DEALER OUT THERE.

My thoughts too. New tractor, blade supplied by them. Unless the op is remotely located, the dealer should send someone out to resolve the issue.

Detented valves with pressure kick out ( the most common and safest kind) won't reliably power a log splitter or anything with a downstream valve operating cylinders. When a cylinder reaches the end of the stroke pressure builds to relief levels and the detented remote valve centers. The bungee is still needed.

Ditto X2, if ya get my drift?

My brother in law has a L3240 with a detent valve and has no problem running a splitter. my father inlaw has a M7040 and has no problem either. My father inlaw used to run his splitter with a detent valve on an M6800 and had no problems either.

they must not be pressure kick out detents. I can't vouch for it on my kubota because my remote has a mechanical detent (hook on the lever) installed by the previous owner.

The length of the float valve slice detent housing can and does dictate positions where that slice cannot be installed. The location of the lever gates can be limiting factors as well. There are instances where there simply is not room to lengthen the gate enough to accommodate the required lever throw for a valve with float when that gate was intended for a simple self centering slice.

Without doubting you, this is news to me since SVC valves are stacked atop each other and the length of the adjustable cables remains more or less the same

Cf. The L6060's big brother.

It's a safe bet that you do doubt me. It depends entirely on the application.
Your response only addresses half of my comment.

Curious if there has been a resolution yet.

Not sure if these are cable actuated valve slices or not. There have been some different pics in the thread but not specifically of the OP's tractor.

But something i have not seen suggested yet....SHUT THE TRACTOR OFF AND TRY AGAIN.

With the tractor off, see if lever 3 moves freely. If it does...then yes the hydraulics are fighting you. But I suspect you have something mechanically restricting the movement of the valve or a cable (if applicable) sticking.

The valves are manually actuated with linkage, not cables.
According to Kubota, all 3 rear remotes can be float featured valves for the rear remotes. So location in the valve stack of the single float valve (should) not be an issue.

Some how, some where, someone messed up. Pretty simple.

The dealer should be involved and at the dealers expense IMO.

This is not a 2nd hand machine, but a new machine that should operate properly when delivered.

Just my 2 cents.
