JD 5205 SCV

[kd_r]

I have a JD 5205 with a 521 loader. It has joystick loader control with two midmount SCV's and one rear SCV. I plan to utilize the rear SCV to operate a grapple on the loader bucket. I need to add an additional rear SCV for another attachment. Is there an option available to have the grapple control lever located close to the joystick control? Also is there a source for aftermarket SCV's?

Welcome the TBN

Man, this is a hotly debated/talked about topic!

Do a search for the words:
diverter
grapple
4n1
front remote
WR Long
Fasse

After a few hours of reading, I will answer any question you still have!


In short, you can add a electric diverter to your FEL, it "diverters" hydraulic flow from the curl circuit to the grapple when a button is pushed on the joystick, so your hand never has to leave the stick.

WR Long makes a very popular kit, as well as Fasse that your JD dealer con order.

Thanks kennyd! I'll start searching and reading and get back to you if I still have questions.
