Deere 4115 Power Beyond Kit

[VortecZ71]

I'm picking up a 2004 Deere 4115 this week. I eventually want to install a backhoe and am aware I need a Power Beyond Kit. However, I need some help with the correct part#. Is LVB25603 the correct one for my application? How can I tell if it has dual SCV? Chris

Yes, I believe that is the correct kit. You have the DSCV if you have a loader, it's what the joystick is connected to and operates.

Hi Kenny, thanks for the quick reply. I do not have a loader but am hoping to install one prior to the backhoe. Is there another way to tell if it has DSCV?

It appears LVB25603 is correct if I do have DSCV. BM19290 is for older tractors that do not have a dual selective control valve (DSCV) according to that link above. It's my first tractor so I'm new to hydraulics. Chris

Do you have the joystick on the right side, next to the seat? If yes than you have the DSCV.

You must have a loader to both counterbalance and stabilize the backhoe when using it.

Just my opinion, but that seems like a lot of money to invest into a 12+ year old tractor, your looking at about 8k or more to add both.

Hi Kenny is below the joystick you were referring to? I also understand the investment on an older machine but it is in really good shape with under 400 hours. It was a trade in by a guy who just used it to mow his property. I'm definitely looking to add the FEL. I'm not sure about the backhoe as it is expensive like you said. However, I figure if the power beyond kit is being discontinued, I'd like to buy it just so I'm setup for a backhoe down the road regardless of whether I pull the trigger on it. Chris

Yes, you have the joystick/DSCV (dual selective control valve)

The current JD H130 loader will fit that machine, as well as the older 200cx. There are a few aftermarket options as well, but your still looking at about 3k-3.5k to add one.
