Rear Hydraulic Setup for a TC31DA

[gtagr96]

I just got a hold of a TC31DA New Holland and am looking to add rear remotes. I wanted to out in a 3-spool valve and now need to know what parts I need and how to hook it up. I need the community help on this one. The local dealer quoted me $1900 for a Gearmore setup but I was thinking of building my own and figured I could do it a lot cheaper.

Does anyone know if the tractor has open or closed center?

I've read it puts out 7.2-7.8 pgm, correct?

I want to add top n tilt and I want a remote (hence the 3-spools) for a backhoe and possibly a spreader and log splitter (my neighbor also has a box scraper with hydraulic scarifier that is awesome)

What is detent?

What is float?

and what does a motor spool accomplish?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Detent is when you can move the valve lever for either direction and it locks into a detent. The lever will stay there untill the cylinder reachs the the end of it's travel and then the lever will pop back to neutral position.

Float is where the valve connects both sides of the cylinder together, but isolated from tractor hydraulics. Such as loader boom cylinders, allowing the loader bucket to follow the ground contours as when back dragging with the bucket. You could also use float with a toplink and a 3pt mounted brush cutter. normally a valve with float will not have any detents, returns to netral when released except when set to float.

Hydraulic motor valve has detent that allows the lever to stay where set to run a hydraulic motor and not spring back to neutral like a detent valve for cylinders.

Thanks Zebra. Any idea on the specifics of the TC31?
