Loader Quick Attachment Interchangeability

Not exactely...This is a self centering rocker switch that will allow you to do all 3 function at one time if your that tallanted!:laughing:

So is the toggle controlling a diverter valve or electric over hydraulic in the system you put together? I don't see how a diverter like I have can allow simultaneous curl/dump and open/close.

Rick's set-up is the WR Long system.

I have this on my CK30 and use it to operate my 4 in 1 bucket and 7.5 Meyer's plow.

This sytem is AMAZING!

I had my dealer (Upper Valley Tractor of Enfield, NH) install the system last summer.

I'm not quite sure how the system is plumbed, but it's well worht the investment.

When I got my grapple rake, I had my dealer make up four hoses so I could cable-tie them on with a connection point under the front of the cab (so I could easily dismount the FEL if I ever want to). This meant that I had to buy eight hydraulic fittings, though which ran the cost up. Also, I have flat-face couplings out at the far end, on the FEL arm near the QA; I figure this would let me use any low-flow skid-steer attachment like an auger or tree shear (should I ever be able to afford something like this).
If I were buying a new tractor now, I think I would specify additional remotes; I can think of uses for at least a couple more than the one remote that was standard with my DK45S. Here, adding them is basically $1000 each.

That is what I have (WRLong diverter). Is Rick's the diverter or the electric over hydraulic system from WRLong?

Interestingly, Rick actually installed my WRLong but I got the diverter used with a 4n1 bucket I bought off ebay. It works just fine but if I had to do it again I'd choose between the less expensive rear remote option or the more expensive electric over hydraulic for true dual function.

I did it that way with my CK20. However, I realized later that it really doesn't save much time to split the system as removing the entire hose and connector setup from rear remote outlet to FEL torque tube just requires snipping a few more zipties. Using a single set of hydraulic lines saves eight quick couplers and the cost of two hoses so you essentially double the cost of the set up by splitting it. Maybe if I removed my loader every week or two it would be worth it but I rarely remove the loader so it doesn't make sense to invest in the split system.

The red push button is a diverter. The rocker switch is a electric valve allowing flow to be open or closed in either direction. which will allow all functions to work if you can get your joystick in the right position.

Island we only use the red push button system for the customers that we don't like!

Actually the rocker switch one is the newer system and yes it is from WR

i made it a personal decision to forgo the 3rd function switch on mine and have the dealer pipe (hose) a set of lines and quick disconnects to the rear mainly because i want to be able to shift the snow blade right or left without worrying about moving the blade up/down/foreword or back accidentally. this way its a different lever to move right/left. Just seemed easier ....oh and way cheaper.

You guys want to something neat, you should see the mission control center in my Kioti.... Good thing I have my own hydraulic hose crimping machine.:licking:
So tell me...Why weren't we born with 3 arms?:confused2:
