Ordering a W.R. Long Valve.

Dishpointer · May 19, 2006

( Steve Carver, Carver Equipment is a great guy. In my search for the holy grail (right tractor for me) he spent a lot of time with me. He is very helpful person and I would be very comfortable buying from him if I could just make up my mind. I just can't say enough nice things about him.

Good luck. )

I agree 100%. I am getting ready to move and once I do, I will be buying my tractor from him also.

( What is a W.R. Long Electric Hydraulic Valve Kit ?)

I have one on my Kubota that controls the grapple.

The electric hydraulic valve is a 12v solenoid operated aux valve. It is pumbed in series with your loader valve just like any other aux valve. It is a true third function since it's just another aux valve in the system.

On the other hand, a diverter takes the output of a set of work ports from an existing valve and diverts the work port flow to a different set of cylinders depending on the setting of the rocker switch.

The WR Long valve is a double solenoid (one for each work port) that is mounted on an industry standard DO3 plate. Energizing the 12V causes the soleniods to direct the fluid flow in the proper direction (one pressure and one return) depending on the position of the 3 position rocker switch.

The electric/hydraulic valve tends to be a little more expensive than a diverter (due to the mounting plate) and is much more flexible since it is a standalone valve in itself.
