SAC: toilets with water in them, are by definition hydraulic.

1st off . . I think the answer to your question is not related to tractor size. Many others are sighting uses for a rear remote for compact and larger tractors. But let me give you some examples for a sub compact tractor like mine. That I didn't know I might do when I bought mine 2 years ago.
1. A hydraulic top link allows a 3ph mounted 40 gallon sprayer to easily adjust spray angles as ground inclines exist.
2. A hydraulic top link allows a 3ph mounted set of forks to adjust its load angle. Now why is that important? Well the forks I bought to use on my gel, also can be 3pt mounted. So??? Well my 3ph has an even larger weight capacity than my gel has. . so a heavier load can be handled lower and heavier on the back. In addition. . it also allows me at times to use the gel with either bucket or grapple and still have forks on back too for special needs.
3. A hydraulic top link allows a 3ph mounted cargo box to be adjusted saw a saw or rocks don't fall out on a hill or incline.
4. A hydraulic top link allows a 3ph mounted trencher or spike or to move 3ph mounted items to have some downward
Pressure adjustment.
5. And beyond are rear snow blower or rear grapple or. . .
Now my post has a point. . . I'm not a farmer . . I have bluegrass well maintained lawns and a little woods. . I don't burn wood the last 15 years. . . I don't grow food etc. And I have a frequently used sub compact tractor that does real work.
2 years ago buying this unit I didn't know I needed more remotes (front or rear). But today I know they are a benefit lol.

Sorry but this is incorrect. A hydraulic top link will do absolutely nothing for down pressure. It will allow implement adjustment like all your other points but not down pressure.

What I was referring to is that a hydraulic top link allows the operator to alter the angle ofpeetration on a trencher like is used forirrigation pipe or a trenching spike. In either case the change of angle causes the trencher or spike to pull down not the ground rather than dragging it on top of the ground with mere height control.

Agreed but that's a different story. You said down pressure. I didn't want anyone that didn't already know the difference (like possibly the OP) to think that they'd get down pressure out of a Hyd toplink

Back to the point of the thread. The use or desire or need for some form of 3rd valve or remote . . . Either front or rear . . . is not always known at purchase. And the ability to add future implements is a need for most tractor owners.
As just two examples in my own case : I planned the size and type of brand very well. 2 years later, I would buy the same brand and same size again without hesitation. But in this example I had not thought a 3 pt. sprayer would be desirable and at most I thought maybe a little pull behind would be a choice. Until I found out the cost of a 3 pt. Sprayer was so attractive and more beneficial for my needs. So then the idea of the top link being hydraulically controlled came into play. And then the fact a fork set I urchasedcould also be used on the rear. . Could also benefit by the hydraulic top link became a second advantage. And lastly the invention for a sub compact of a "small width" lighter weigh grapple for logs and rock hauling, now allows justification to acquire a dual remote rather than a 3rd function valve.
Again my point is . . . I didn't /don't need to grow in "size" of tractor . . but experience, uses, and needs allows me to grow in options/implements.

If you haven't bought a tractor, getting them to throw in a rear remote or two is pretty easy. Going back after the fact, they get a little pricey.

I'm curious about definitions. On a Sub-Compact tractor purchase. What would be the add-on cost for a good price to add a front and a rear remote in your opinion ? And what would you think would be "a little pricey" for the same front remote and a rear remote after the fact but both done at the same time?
I'm not trying to be tricky here. . Just trying to define the statement about costs for a Sub-Compact tractor.

I have a JD 2032R, was going to put extra set of hydraulic on the rear, but changed my mind , so I have the kits to do that I,dont need them now, they are for sale fitings and hoses.

best way to get MSRP for remotes is go to the dealers site and "build my tractor." When you add the remotes you can see the price change. That price is MSRP on the remote.
