Hi guys, I've had my 2012 1635 for about 5 months now and was thinking about installing a hydraulic top link. I would need the entire setup since I don't have any extra valves installed. I want a clean install using the existing console area. My questions are, have any of you done this, or had this done. Is it best to get the parts straight from AGCO. Should I get a single or go for the double spool valve right away. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

It would get it from the dealer since you want a clean install, and having the 2nd spool could come in handy one day, or go all in with a 3 spool (if you can afford it). With the 3 spool you know you won't have to take it apart again to add any others later.

Get the OEM rear remote system, very expensive :eek:, but really the only way to have a good clean installation. If it were me, as long as you are at it price out getting 1,2,or all 3. There may or may not be a cost difference with purchasing multiple sets at the same time. You won't know without asking though. Before you know it, you are going to want more than just the one though. ;)

Don't know if you have priced the OEM remotes yet but in my area the remote kits are $950 per remote for parts alone. I would also like the oem setup but the cost has me thinking otherwise. You can put three after market remotes on for around $1K and they will do the exact same thing. Also with the aftermarket you will have access to power beyond which will allow you to run a third function to the front loader for a grapple, etc.
