Remote valves

   / Remote valves #11  
My old tractor had dual remotes and I used them for the hyd cylinders on my disc, and grain drill. My new tractor did not come with them and they were $500 extra. Since I only occasionally use my disc or drill I made a "jumper" hose that I connect to the implement via a quick connect and to the loader control via a quick connect. I just disconnect the two hoses that operate the bucket tilt and hook the hoses there. I can still raise and lower the bucket, and I can operate the implement with the loader joystick. Cost me about $100 in hoses and fittings.

If you use the "search" function and enter "Top 'n Tilt", you'll find a lot more information than you want to read. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif But it simply means replacing the manually adjustable top link and the manually adjustable side link with hydraulic cylinders. That allows you to adjust any implement's angle from front to rear and from side to side without ever leaving the tractor seat. A marvelous tool, especially for using the box blade, and it also makes it easier to hook up and unhook implements.
