OK Hans: last night you posted at 7:50 talking about the connections. Tonight, since you haven't posted a report yet, I assume you're out there digging holes in the dark.

Let us know how it works.

Speaking of the little red button, I was at a TSC store today and saw a block that had two solenoids and 6 quick connects on it, as well as some wires and a little red button. Looked like it was for running two different items from one hydraulic circuit. No one could tell me anything about it, except that it was $399.00.

Sounds even more pricey than mine. Add some plumbing and you're at half a K.

Have you seen these? Really nice stuff. I talked to somebody there via e-mail and it was over $500.00 but the joystick handle had 6 buttons!

I looked at V & M before I bought my valve, and wrote their offerings off as too expensive. I'm not sure I'd make the same decision knowing what I do now, since with their system I could add more circuits, and, for instance, have the side-swing capability that the new Lackender hoe has, and maybe even get to the articulating multiple-use arm that Bubenberg wants, with hoe, grapple, mower, chain saw, and back scratcher attachments.

Hi Guys, my PT grapple bucket is mad at me because it has to share the number one slot in utility, power and overall me liking it with an intruder: the lacklander baby boomer backhoe.

i was able to dedicate most of the afternoon to the operation of the hoe WITHOUT THE RED BOTTON. I dug up a bed of bushes and trees at my ex that had been cut down. but she wanted them also removed not just stump ground. some of the roots were so deep i had to fully extend the hoe to cut the vertical roots.
what a power house the invert (picking up stuff) curling motion has for just a pt 425 kohler eng. and that small piston on the hoe.
Yes it was annoying with that auxiliary lever but you get used to anything after a while. the motion is not that of a professional backhoe operator but i am glad that i do not have to hand dig much anymore with this new to.. attachment.

Other use, is the boom action attains higher heights. after you practiced for a while go ahead and load your pick up, but get a bigger bucket than 8" other wise your loading will take a while. the two teeth on the bucket are excellent and so is the thumb. i am satisfied with my purchase.

the large plate that randy puts on and then welds the pt female quick attach plate onto it is somewhat obstructing the view .. i guess i have to install another camera and screen to have at least 21 degrees vision ... i know you guys think i am nuts ... a well .. so be it.

Hans,
Any chance you could get a few pictures posted of this hoe?
