Option for 3rd remote on NX?

In that case, as a temporary fix, get some woven Kevlar sleeving for the two hoses, and run them along the inside of the loader bracket which extends right the way back to the rear axle. With some hefty zip ties you should be able to keep them out of harms way.
I can take pictures of the loader bracket if it helps.
A lot depends on how much brush you are pushing through and how likely it is to snag up.
For our brushclearing, I took our heavyweight flail over it all first and stuck to these "mown" routes to be able to access the logs we'd chopped with chainsaws etc.

Yeah, adding pictures would help (good to have for others that will come along). Eric has some in his http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-buying-pricing/315694-my-nx6010.html thread, the hard lines on the loader, but he didn't really document/show the final product/outcome.

My place is pretty hard to describe, it's a mix of extremes. Here's a picture that shows a sample:



Seems that at every "turn" there are stumps and or logging debris, in addition to tons of blackberries and salmon berries. As a general rule I don't look to cut down trees. Also have ruts here and there, though I think that many of the really bad ones that are in my regularly used pathways have been taken care of.

I'm hoping to get some reasonably defined areas in which I can run goats to help clear. Longer-term is to bring in some cattle: whether this will ever materialize for/to me is the question, but it's my plan.

Yep, Eric's obviously a resourceful chap and his now 101 page "blog" was a useful source of info for me too..
Though I think he puts his little compact tractor through much more than I would...
I have bigger kit to use if need be though... :thumbsup:

What you show looks lovely - and it's a nice part of the US.
I have friends who are just over the border between Abbotsford and Langley.
Been to Seattle on business a few times too - but not exactly up to where you are...
As far as it looks your ground doesn't look too bad at all. Plenty of space around things (in the main part)..
This is ours..
it doesn't show well that this is a 40degree slope!
Goats are good clearers - but do need to be well fenced in. Cattle a bit more destructive - and will churn the ground - but good to get it sorted at the start..
Like sheep, though - they are all just Houdini in costume..
I think a decent box blade, a backhoe (for digging out stumps - unless you can use ANFO :mischievous and a grapple for clearance - it's all you need to supplement a decent chainsaw.
Good luck with it all..

Wife's kids live up in metro Vancouver. That's where I snagged my wife from

Fortunately(?) my land is pretty flat, just a gentle slope: I'm wanting to say that it drops 40' over 1/4 mile (property is 1/4 mile on each side).

You noted why I don't have goats yet! If I only needed to be concerned with containment I'd be happy; but, I also have predators (coyotes).

Maybe switch this discussion over to my "MY NX5510H" thread?

With luck these will show a possible route for your grapple hydraulic hoses.
My third service can be seen here on the front end loader.
You can see the orange bracket for the FEL clearly as it heads under the tractor - sheathed hoses tied tight to this should be OK for a while - until you can plumb in a pukka 3rd service.
