3 rear remotes, any recommended configuration/order?

[BGigHarbor]

My dealer has ordered the rear remotes to put on my new l5460. Two floaters and one double action. (3rd function separate).

I am not sure all the ways I'll use them, but probably it will include topntilt as well as maybe hydraulic scarifier bar on a BB at the same time.

Any suggestions on the relative position of the levers and the coupler sets themselves in terms of order within the group of 3?

Or put another way, where in the three should I have him put the non floater lever and couplers relative to the 2 float valves?


If I am understanding it right, I think I'll be using the two floaters for the TnT so what configuration has those hoses and the third double action hoses to the attachment as clean a routing as possible? Any more convenient relative lever order in terms of the non floater?

I don't think the dealer has ever put three rears on a new tractor, so I am not sure they will have any advice in that regard in terms of the "order" of the rear couplers.

The order & position that the valves go in is not an option, as far as I could tell.
There is a 1st remote kit, a 2nd remote kit and a 3rd remote kit.
But which remote outlet that you plug your hydraulic hoses into is entirely up to you and you can swap the hoses around to get the desired reaction for a given lever input.
I have TnT set up on my 1st & 2nd valves (both floaters), but I could reconnect the quick connect hoses any which way, if I wanted to.

You will likely find having the double action set on the Bottom, I assume you will be routing lines Down under your tractor... With that set on the bottom you can use 90 degree fittings on your quick connects and it all fits and looks like a neat factory install... KennyV

Is the valve a monoblock valve or a stacked valve.

If it is a stacked valve, you can arrange the spools to suit your purpose.

I am certain that these are the OEM valves and have the OEM rear remote outlets. I believe that the outer 2 control levers will have the float function. :thumbsup: This is how I would have them set up. The inner lever would be used for any implement hydraulics. The center lever would be used for the top link and the outer most lever would be used for the side link. The hoses can be switched around at the remote outlets if need be, but I would have the lowest set for the side link, the middle set for the top link and the top set for implement use. (easy access)

Again, this is just how I would have them set up.

stacked valves, I like what Brian is saying below -- non floater inner lever and top position, two floaters other positions.

If it is a stacked valve, then you can arrange the spools stacks anyway your want, and or bend the levers to suit..

JJ, the valves can probably be switched around, but with how the Kubota OEM levers are made, I doubt that one would want to be bending them. I am pretty sure that they fit up through narrow slots and any bending would cause other issues.
