3rd function control on the Joystick

BINGO!

Because it is a spool valve, with its own feed from the PB circuit. It is just electrically operated via a rocker switch rather than manually operated via a lever.

jdgreg,
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have made my own root rake but want to attach the ATI grapple to it or build my own if it is to expensive. With this setup I could also run hoses to the rear and adjust the top link on the 3ph when not using the grapple. I see the wrlong setup is about $500 but I like the joystick better on the Fasse one. How much is the Fasse setup and do they have a website so I can find a dealer? Our local dealer just can't seem to get past JD parts. What kind of price are they getting for the ATI grapple?

I'm not jdgreg, but I can answer some of your questions.

Their website- Fasse

I think all John Deere dealers can get Fasse Valves.

Their website doesn't work completely, but they were very helpful to me on the phone.

My Fasse setup (see link to my thread in my earlier post) was the cheaper (bare bones) version of jdgreg's cool setup.

Hope this helps.

Thans!! The Long kit is exactly what I was thinking! The Fasse kit is a great idea for man applications, but the other is what I was looking for

So the Long setup adds a 6th function, as it hooks into POwer Beyond stilll leaving the onboard 3rd

Thanks Jason,

I'll give them a call.

Does anyone have the Long setup? It would be great to see how it sets up, especially the valve...

 

[MadReferee]

The Long setup uses a standard Hyvair model DO3S solenoid valve. Specifically a DO3S-2C-12D-35. It can usually be purchased at any Parker dealer. The valve and mounting plate are mounted to a custom bracket made by Long specifically to fit your tractor's loader frame.

You can read about the Hyvair valve and its specs HERE on starting page 3.

I'd take a picture of mine on my Kubota but my camera is not with me now.

Ok, how does this look:

Part no. 4UB12

Grainger valve

Would this work?
