Ok.. I've had my tractor for almost 10 years now and I've never fully understood the rear remotes. All I know was that if I moved the yellow handle to A or B, it gave my backhoe power. Now that I'm getting ready to use the rear remote for a grapple, I figure I need to ask what both the levers do and why.

As for the yellow handle, I know it allows hydraulic flow to the rear. Can I Assume A flows in one direction and B in the other? I'm guessing that's how you would open and close a grapple. I remember when I bought it, the dealer just told me I could use either A or B for the BH. As for the other red handle, what is it for? Is it to lower or raise the 3pt hitch and/or for something else?
Sorry for being such a noob, but I've never needed anything else attached to the rear before so I just want to make sure my understanding is correct.
BTW, it's been 2 years since I've used my tractor... it's just been sitting with me putting the battery on a trickle charger every month or so... I can't remember half of what all the buttons and knobs did on this thing....
Thanks!
