Had not, looks like the cats meow though! Odd thing is, zero reviews posted on their site.... and I would imagine anyone finding a simple, clean, low cost solution like this would be tickled pink about it and surely come back to make a comment - I suppose the same could be said for negative feedback but Aux-Hyd would likely have the ability to delete any of those :)

I will definitely keep this link and explore further. I wonder if anyone here has tried these components. I'd love to add the second line to the rear as well if I decide to add a cylinder to the blade I'm planning to buy within the next week or so... a second e-lockout would make this a dream setup for me.

Thanks a bunch for the pointer 10ford!!


Funny, I just did some testing (yes, this is all completely new to me) and with lockout open, upper controller operates both blower chute up front and rear cylinder. I was hoping to use the deck height adjuster to prevent rear cylinder from activating when I want the chute and only lower it when I wanted to operate rear blade (who cares if chute turns while using blade).

Turns out cylinder still extends, hopefully my deck adjuster isn't broken and this is just the way it operates... if so, definitely need the shut-off operational and electric would be preferred.

I gotta get the operators manual for this thing... but I hate to shell out 30-50 bucks for it, the tech manual I can understand charging for (though probably not 150!!!), but the operators manual should be a free download... and the parts catalog.... wait a minute, you want to CHARGE me to DECIDE which part YOU will SELL me??? give me a break :)

That linked cut off solenoid only solves half of the problem. You'll have disconnect one of the chute hoses to stop that path of fluid flow while you're trying to use the 3PH. You need two solenoid valves. One normally open, and one normally closed.

The service manual is out there in cyber space somewhere for free. I got it on my phone a couple of years ago, but don't know how to get it out.

It's too hard to search a 957 page manual on a 3" screen....
