Thanks Stef,
I like the idea of not having to play with the Remote Hoses to mount the BH.
Also, my dealer suggested mounting the Rear Remote Valve on the FEL Valve Mount rather than the ROPS and I assume the Fender, any thoughts here?

Think about how you are going to use the rear remotes.FRAN3 said:
If you are turning to the right to look back at the implement your left hand will be on the steering wheel and you right hand will be right next to the fender or ROPS. This makes it very easy to use a fender/ROPS mounted valve while you are watching how the implement reacts.
If the remote valve was mounted on the FEL mount tower then you would have to cross your hand over to use the remote valve or turn back facing forward thus loosing your view of the implement. Awkward at best and impossible for some people. This way kind of makes it difficult to adjust as you are going.

We worked up our own valve kit for the BX24. Its a valve body, lever, bracket with two couplers for the connection, and plumbing that hooks into the backhoe loop. It takes about 10 minutes to install once its all built. Right now I have an assembled kit ready to go, we put it together on a guys tractor and he backed out. Its not cheap, we're looking at $650 for the parts and labor to build all the hoses -- but this is a brainless, easy way to get a rear remote on a BX24.

No, it doesn't disable the 3pt hitch. Here's why: the hydraulic flow on the tractor is continuous. When you operate a valve, it closes the circuit (more or less, it depends how hard you push the spool) and use the flow and the pressure to push on one side of the cylinder's piston. When the valve returns at its neutral position, the circuit is reopened, so the flow pass through the valve and continue its way into the circuit.Renob said:
That question could be asked, in the same way, about the backhoe valve. When the backhoe is connected does it disable the 3pt? The answer is no, it's not disable but the hitch is restrained to move freely because of the backhoe plateform. It can be lowered a bit though. The valve takes pressure and flow when needed otherwise the flow only pass through the valve.

Is it a setup like this one? First pic, the valve is mounted on the rops. Second pic, the valve is removed (2 bolts on the rops and two hoses with quick couplers).MessickFarmEqu said:
I'm sorry, I just saw that I already posted these pictures. Anyways, the question remains the same. I'm pretty sure your setup would look more or less like this one. I mean, a valve is a valve afterall.

Stef,
Thanks, that's what I thought.
Messick,
I'm sure you will have some takers, as there has been some interest here in adding remotes to BX's. Not sure what valve etc. you are using, but I figure to have about $350 into my 2 spool remote. That includes 1 cylinder for a top link.

Hydraulic top link. Will it be too short?
