MikeA, your handy work with the hydraulics on the L48 is slick. Your pictures are probably lost on most folks as I'm pretty sure they haven't a clue why your posting them. Finding a good place to mount your remotes can be tough since it requires you to keep the hoe area available and free while still allowing for TnT hose movement. I mounted 3 pairs of remotes on my L48. I use all three constantly. I do not have a hoe, but if I did, they are out of the way and very easy to get to. I have the factory setup and really like the controls for it. No play and very responsive and accurate. You did a nice job, Rat....
