Single Point Connection for 440R Loader

[LouieJunior]

I have a JD 4052R on order with a 440R front end loader. Also getting 3rd function SCV for my grapple. The dealer has informed me delivery will be delayed several weeks unless I go with single point connection device for additional $125. I don't mind paying the extra money - it is insignificant relative to the cost of the tractor. I did some quick research and believe this approach is common on larger loaders. Are there any downsides to this option? I will have two rear remotes (4th and 5th SCVs so I won't need to access any of the loader valves for rear implements.

For $125 DO IT!!! Try pricing it in parts, I spent over $500 each, to convert two machines. And was by shopping ebay for deals.

Do all six hoses connect using the single lever?

Do all six hoses connect using the single lever?

Yes, they do. It's easy and for $125 as good as free.

Do all six hoses connect using the single lever?

Yes! I have both my tractors equipped with one, both are 3 function (6 hoses), set up for a grapple. The 245 loader on the 2030 has another hose from the relief valve return to sump, that is a separate quick coupler, I have to remember to couple/uncouple. Super easy to couple or uncouple.

The only way I would NOT add the single point for $125 is if it's just the loader 1/2 at the boom end for a 3rd function. And does not have the grapple 1/2 included.
