How many extra Hydraulic Remotes do I need?

[MtnViewRanch]

Hey you're talking about my exercise regimen...

And you don't ever get tired of exercising? I did, an hour a day is OK, 8-10 is too much for me.

Chuck, do you remember back when you thought that the 2 remotes that were already on your Kubota were going to be enough? I warned you about getting the 3rd. . .

Yeah, I remember that. It was close to a year ago now. And your advice was what convinced me to get 3 remotes. And I'm glad I did!

. . you have to get on and off the tractor a few 1000 times so that you can really appreciate just moving that little lever and that does the work for you.

Fair enough.

Just to keep this in perspective guys, most CUT owners would be more than satisfied with two sets of rear remotes. To read this thread makes it sound like you'd be nuts not to pile on half a dozen remotes . Maybe guys who use their tractors to earn a living and are in the seat Monday through Friday would have a case but the average TBN CUT user just isn't going to find that much use for extra remotes. Let's differentiate between hobbist tractor fanatics and plain old practical CUT users. You don't need a Porsche to go grocery shopping and you don't need 6 remotes to do chores .

Very true. But one can still dream and drool.

You are absolutely correct, we don't need any of this stuff. But it sure makes things nice when we do.

I agree, my post was just a little moment of reality testing in case some poor newbie stumbled upon it the day before heading into the dealership.

OK, reality break is over, back to fantasy world.

My latest fantasy is to mount a wireless camera on my brush guard and 5" LCD screen on my dash so I can see exactly where my grapple tines are when I want to slip them under a bush or root. I'm sure I'd be laughed out of Dodge but it sure would be sweet.

Well..... if you'd of bought blue like me you wouldn't have that problem ..... ....that sloping hood is one of the major reasons I bought NH ....

Thanks for the heads up guys, I took your warnings to heart and ordered five (5) more rear remotes from my dealer. This thread has helped me immensely, thanks again....






























joke haha

I like blue too but the local blue dealer doesn't deal. I did not have any trouble seeing the grapple with my CK20. The DK40se also has a sloped hood (not as much as the NHs) but it is just so much bigger that I cannot see the ground three feet directly in front of the FEL which is the critical patch.
