3rd SCV for 2320/2520?

[CottonLakeDeere]

Great Site. Great information. Thanks!

I am heading for the purchase of a 2320 this summer. One feature I'd like to have is the ability to a grapple at some point. I have researched many threads on TBN regarding options for adding operability for the grapple.

John Deere literature "Compact Tractor Implements and Accessories", indicates that a 3rd SCV is available for the 2320/2520 (Catalog # LVB24871), with footnote "available winter 2006/2007. Local dealer indicates this is not available.

Does anyone have insight on this?

Thanks!

Have not heard about the 3RD scv you listed, but it would be great. I currently use an open center control valve connected to the power beyond connections to control my grapple bucket.

How does this work . i have power beyond on my 2520 for the backhoe.

Could you post a picture of your setup?
Thanks

How does this work . i have power beyond on my 2520 for the backhoe.

I ran two hoses with couplers from the power beyond ports over to the pressure and tank ports of the open center valve. When not in use the oil flows unrestricted though the valve just like if the power beyond hose was looped back on itself.

I then ran two hoses from the "A" and "B" (working ports) of the valve down between the right fender and SCV valve and ended them at the coupler fittings were the normal loader hydraulics connect to. I have couplers on these hose ends, so instead of four hoses when I connect/disconnect the loader, I have six.

so , is there a switch from this new valve to open and close the grapple?
and is it electric or what.

Chris,
I put rear remotes on my 4110, much the same way that YASH did his.

You can view the thread HERE and see it it clears anything up for you.

No switch, I used a manual valve that is connected to the power beyond loop. I clamped this to the ROPS on left side that I control with my left hand. Totally separate control from the SCV so I did not need a switch. (functions as a third SCV would). Allows me to perform loader and/or grapple functions at same time.

Update:
The local dealer called Deere today, and confirmed that a 3rd SCV will become an available option for the 2320/2520. Likely timing in the next month or so. No other information is available a this time. I'll report back when I learn more.
