rear remotes

[mroldstyle]

When I bought my TC29 New Holland the dealer installed two rear remotes, I never had occasion too use them, but now am planning on a grapple. My question is one of the handles (not sure handle is corect term) moves easily and then springs back to center the other will move easily it and then stay there, much like the 3pt. handle. Is this the way it should work, and if so what is the reason for the difference, ie: what would one be used or as opposed to the other. Didn't get any manual concerning the remotes.
Thanks for the help. Great site with lots of info.

The one lever may have detent, that would let the hyd fluid flow to a implement, say a hyd motor without holding the lever, or a log splitter. Youmay have detent in both directions.

I would want them both to be self centering automatically. All ours do. Ken Sweet

If you will be using a log splitter, it would be good to not have to bungee the lever. How about a hyd flail mower, or anything else that uses a hyd motor. Detent is a good thing, at least for one remote lever.

They should both spring back to neutral. One is sticking. Either the linkage, or the spool spring in the cap.

Like JJ has said, it is probably a detent. I have two remotes: one self canceling detent and one float detent. Both levers will move freely forward and aft and return to center if you let go. However, both handles have a detent in the forward position. If I push forward ENOUGH I will find the detent and the lever will stay put. If I don't push far enough forward -- and not hit the detent -- the lever will spring back to center.

Does the lever stay in the fwd and rev positions when activating? If there is nothing connected to the remotes, do not stay in detent mode , if that is what you have.

The one will stay put at any point, forward or reverse. I have yet too hook up anything too them. Wanted to figure out what I had first to know my options. Kinda sounding like the one might be hanging up.

You may get better information if you post in the New Holland forums. I would think that other NH owners would be a good source to find out just what you are supposed to have.

The outboard lever should say "3PT" on the top of the knob which operates the up-down motion of a 3-PT attachment (box scraper, disc, wood chipper, rotary mower, etc.), stopping and staying whenever you remove your hand. The inboard lever should say "REMOTE" on the top of the knob which operates the fluid movement in your first set of rear remotes. Being that your tractor has an open center hydraulic system, the handle will always return to the center of the lever's position and hold the last directed pressure that you have applied.
In the case of a log splitter which has it's own forward/back lever, you do need to tie/bungee the tractor's "REMOTE" lever open in order for the log splitter to function. It's o.k. to do so. Many cords of stove wood split this way by my NH TC40.
If the attachment has a hydraulic cylinder but no lever on the attachment itself, your tractor's "REMOTE" lever will then be the primary operating lever such as on a hydraulic top link. If two hydraulic cylinders are required to operate an attachment, say a top and tilt, then two sets of remotes (with an added "REMOTE" lever) will be necessary. Most will say that the hydraulic cylinders for this type of system will need to be equipped with double piloted check valve to prevent cylinder leak down. There are other ways around the additional set of remotes but the most basic tried and true installation is what I have brought up here.
