2555 hst 3rd function how to hook up

[mikeman1]

Well, getting more things and customizing the new tractor. I just got in the mail the wr long 3rd function but am not sure where the power beyond port is from the loader valve. here is a pic of the loader valve. it must be one of the top two hoses or the one on the bottom that I need to follow down. A little confusing since all three of the hoses goes under floor board on right side where one of those hoses goes to pto valve, another goes into the main center frame of tractor, and the third goes to the rear of the tractor i think to one of the rear hydraulic ports. also, there is another hose going into the bottom of the pto valve, i assume this is the pressure line.

any help appreciated. thanks.

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I would call the dealer or a Mahindra dealer and ask.

My W.R. Long kit came with instructions and showed the power beyond port on my LS.

funny, my WR kit doesn't say where the power beyond is located on mahindra. go figure. thanks any way.

If your dealer has a 2555 with a backhoe (assuming you don't have one), the line that goes from the loader valve to the backhoe is the power beyond line. I have a 2540, if you post of picture of the other side of your valve and it's similar to mine, I can tell you what is what. I'm replacing my loader valve with a [huge] new valve block that has loader controls plus a third function spool, with its own lever. I will then use the old valve on the back of the tractor, when I have the loader removed, to run whatever (top link, etc.)

Sorry, im not trying to hijack. I just have to ask what valve are you planning to use. I like the idea of a rear remote lever being right there, could work with a grapple or a hydraulic top link.

taller port on top is power beyond

It's quite large, and will just fit in the space that I have. Its flow rating is about twice what I have, so sensitivity will be down, but it has a much longer lever, which will get me some of that back!

I like it. If it works well I may very well have to add one to my 2538 for a grapple. Not bad for $400 compared to $1200 for the dealer installed 3rd function. Im anxious to hear how it works compared to the standard valve. I would love to have the kit that the OP is using, just more cash than I can justify for it.
