I have a flippable splitter used on my Kubota SVL75-2. I want to be able to control the splitter from the ground when the splitter is on top & I'm solo operating. Seems simple enough--just parallel the wires to the rocker control in the cab, RIGHT?? But where do I find that connection spot??? (Pic is from just before delivery of new SVL75-2 & 1140.)

This thread is in error & I can't delete it. Look at my other post with the picture. Sorry for the issue. I'll copy here.

Am I correct in assuming (hate that word) that your system is electric over hydraulic, and it may be a toggle type switch and not something on joystick?

There may be more to it than just extending (paralleling) the wiring to operate solo, does the unit have seat safety switches that may immobilize the splitter if you are off the seat or some such thing?

IF there is not a optional extension built in, you may have to open up control panel and duplicate the wiring to solo switch by actually doubling up connections on existing switch or splicing into the switch wire where it may be conveniently access able.... Would help if you had wiring diagram on how existing switch operates.....

Sure would help if I could get a wiring diagram -- anyone have access?????
On the -2 machine I can standup, put the handbars down & then activate the control switches & exit the cab - which means if I could link into those wires, I'd be in business. But I do want avoid damaging the complicated electronic control system - so I'm very cautious.
