Recently bought a 5085e with 650 hours. Currently have a 5085m and 5093e. They older tractors have a different set up for the rear remotes. The last 2 pics are the remotes on the 85m and 93e. Note the dials and a knob. I have a guess from turning the knobs as to what they do I can't find a good description. FYI - the 85e and the 93e have loaders run on mid remotes, the 85m does not have a loader.
I've been searching - can't really nail this down. I need some help with the terminology and differences in functionality. It is ok if you point me at manuals or other posts. If you tell me what to search for I'm ok with that
Then ultimately, what I'm really after:
1) What is required to add a 3rd remote to 5085e (of course it can be done - but how do I go about it - addon kit, replacement of existing SCV, etc). The third is handy for controlling batwing mowers, etc.
2) and can I switch the 5085e to the same functionality - can I switch over to the type with dials? It looks like the dial unit replaces the cylindrical things (sorry for my lack of terminology) I will use a shaver post driver on this tractor, and I think the position that looks like a motor is the best way to power the driver - it provides constant pressure and allows the driver valve to do the work. I think I would have to do something like hold or tie the lever down on the other type.
Thanks!
