Joy stick control of the dual remotes

joh · Oct 27, 2020

Changed from a Mf 35 to a Mf 1455. I'm not liking the complexities of the newer tractor. It has a 1040 loader with a loader mounted joy stick. On the right side of the seat is another joy stick to operate the dual remotes on the back of the tractor. From top to bottom, the remotes are labelled blue, red and the next two are yellow. It's unclear to me which ones work together (delivery and return) and also which outlets do the front to back and which do the left to right function. I'm going to try to post pictures. Help with understanding it's operation would be appreciated! Note, the " yellow " tagged lower hose in the photo, relates to "in" port for the joystick. I ran out of different colours.
That yellow hose comes from the loader mounted joystick. In which I also used blue (delivery) , red (return) and yellow( delivery to the remotes joy stick !).

If you had a double acting cylinder, you could figure that out in a hurry. There aren't that many combinations. I also use those little colored zip ties for that purpose.

Nice to have two remotes out back. I have never seen remotes on a joystick.

Can't say for sure but as mention with a double acting cylinder it wouldn't be to hard to figure out.
I would expect that the top two connections are one valve and the lower two are the other.
I can't see any reason that they wouldn't be paired that way.
Also if you can watch the hoses and operate the valve you could see the hose jump when the valve is actuated.

Or feel the hose become pressurized.
An operators manual would probably give guidance.

I had my little JD 770 with joystick remotes and the decal had become obscured. It didn't take long to figure out which ports to use for a wood splitter.
