Remote Hydraulics for Backhoe

[I Piddle]

Thanks for the reply. That is my exact thought. I saw a Ford tractor (which looked almost like my tractor) setting along the road in a field and I stopped to look at the plumbing and it had the loading connected to the remotes, also. I couldn't tell how his valves were set up. Farmtrac went out of business in 2008. Montana took them over at that time. There is an LS dealer fairly near to me I will give them a call and see if they can help.

I Piddle,

I see a couple of choices to unravel the mystery of your hydraulic system:
Either you do a lot of googling and find a workshop manual OR
You get under the machine and trace out the hydraulic system OR
Ask the LS dealer if they are willing to have a technician trace the hydraulic system after you explain your objective(s).
Hydraulic systems are mechanical so they are relatively easy to trace IF you have the time or are willing to spend the money to have it traced.

I am a bit confused. Your profile indicates Farmtrac 6050 and your question to group indicates Farmtrac 665 DTC

TractorData.com Farmtrac 665 tractor information

Manufacturer:	Farmtrac (a part of Escorts)

I did a little poking and it looks like Farmtrac may still be in use? Production? since I found this web site where company in India is selling Farmtrac 6050

Finding a workshop manual would be the preferred choice provided the manufacturer put the effort into good documentation. Perhaps the new Indian owners have a manual?

Also found Montana and the following at TractorData.com - Montana farm tractors sorted by model

Montana Tractors was a distributor of compact and utility tractors in the United States from 2004 to 2011. LG (later, LS) of South Korea was the primary manufacturer for Montana Tractors, the Montana line also included tractors from Escorts, Kukje, Sonalika, TYM and UTB/Universal. LS Tractors entered the US market in 2010, which eliminated Montana's main supplier of tractors. Attempts to secure a new source of tractors were unsuccessful, and Montana stopped selling new tractors at the end of 2010.

That is interesting. My tractor would be the new model 6055. I called the local tractor dealer and he did sell Farmtrac, but he is on vacation this week. The gal in the office said he didn't allow the mechanics on the phone so I would need to call back next week. Hopefully, he can get me on the right track.

Apparently, Farmtrac distributors had financial problems in the US. I found an article on the web dated 2019 that Farmtrac and Bobcat were coming back to USA. Looks like that didn't pan out.

Good to hear of your progress.

Time to update your profile to reflect correct tractor ( the 6055 and not 6065) and your location. This will help in the future if you have future questions for community

i have a 06 665dtc 4wd with factory plumd loader controls. if u pick up the 3 point and raise the loader the same time. the three point will stop raising till u stop using the loader controls. just how its made. the primary flow out the trans is plumd strait to the loader. the secondary flow goes to the outlets and 3 point. also the filter under the floor pan goes to ur outlets n 3 point and steering. the filter at bell housing just runs the loader. tryd changing 1 filter to speed up the steering in winter. the loader was only thing that moved quicker.
