BX25 3rd Function Kit

[CHDinCT]

Chris, how are you planning to hook the valve into your BX2660's hydraulic system? On my BX25, I used the BH power-beyond loop for a two spool valve. Same one as yours but a dual spool version (with the optional detent kit). Interesting concept going with a foot controlled valve.

Hey Carlos, which grapple did I get? The answer is yes! All of them! I bought quite a bit from Jery so he took care of me with a little extra on the bucket grapple.

Chris

Yikes! OK, I'm going to show my wife this thread if she ever complains about my tractor toys.

Chris, I will probably do the same as you. Ive purchased a used back hoe(BT601). Slowly Im collecting parts to do the install to my 2660. With the help of others here and my dealer I may fab the rear brackets and subframe. But as far as the hydro Im still up in the air as far as details go. But my main idea is to tap into the BH lines. Do you have any ideas? I would like to use all implement and not have to switch lines.

I just updated my thread on adding rear remotes to my BX25. I have it set up so I can operate the BH and FEL with one open circuit for my eventual grapple thumb. I will also use one of the circuit for my hydraulic top link when the BH is off. Did everything with quick connects so I can go back to OEM in minutes if I ever want to or need to. Just another way to go vs a 3rd function kit. I went this way mainly because I already had a hydraulic top link and wanted to be able to use that, so I'll run the grapple off of the remote when I do add it.

Hey Chris, did you ever take on the grapple if so how did you run the lines?

Chris

Chris, no, not yet. Just got busy with other things. I did pick up a 4' section of 1/4" angle iron to make the grapple mount. But, for some almost sub-conscience reason I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on ordering the grapple even though I've put the money aside. Anyway, I'll probably get to it this fall so I have it for firewood processing before winter, hopefully.
