TC 30 Rear Remotes

yellowdog99502 · Sep 16, 2003

I need (want) to install 1 or 2 rear remotes on my TC 30. The tractor is set up by NH for only one remote.

But, if one could find a good spot to tie into for a 3/4" supply & return, the rest is just plumbing with a bit of welding to mount the valves. You could conceivably install as many valves as space permitted.

Any one had any experience with this???

You can purchase just the single lever valve that controls the loader and run hoses to the back to go with the one that is offered by NH to give a total of 3. It is a wholegoods item; reference number 710440016. Here is the description: Remote Hydraulic Valve Single Lever (double spool, double acting with 4 couplers with plumbing and attaching hardware to locate couplers forward of the valve on the right side. Should run around $600.00

Welding?????? Oh my! Most hydraulics screw together.

Sounds messy. And it won't be a whole lot cheaper - good hyd components cost bucks.

I'm a real cheap person, but I spent the $600 with NH for my remote - I wanted it to work right - that includes lever action, positioned for easy use, etc.

Can be done tho, if you find the right ports. Just don't create backpressure on the return line - need to find a power-beyond setup I suppose.

The TC 30 is not set up for more than one rear remote, at least that is what the owners manual states. I need (want) 2.

This means tying into a power-beyond port somewhere on the tractor, plumbing to the new open center spool valves and returning to the sump. The welding is not for the hydraulic connections, rather mounting the valves to the right side leg of the rops.

Money is not the issue here. If NH manufactured the products to mount 2 rear remotes on a TC 30, I would much rather go that route.

Kinda shocked they only offer 1 rear remote!

There is a different option, but just as expensive. An electric splitter - you plug it into your one remote, and it offers 2 (or 3 for more $$$) remotes. you select which of the 2 or 3 is active with an electric button.

Obviously, you can only use one remote at a time, not a perfect solution. Just mentioning it.

Why dont you just get a valve mulitpler and save yourself a lot of headaches Fasse valve is the most common one it will plug into your exsisting valve and can have as many remotes as you need they are operated with electric solenoids. You would put a switch that controls the functions of the multiplier right onto your exsisting valve handle. The exsisting valve handle would still operate the valve but depending on what switch you activated would determine which valve operated. I hope I explained this clearly enough. This is a good system for your situation.
