I just believe that Don's issue is having one too few remotes. There is an electric over hydraulic remote diverter that splits a single remote into two, but I have no personal experience with that setup. It looks to be a solenoid controlled diverter that plugs into a single remote and has two outputs. It's probably about as expensive as adding an additional remote, but much more convenient since extra hoses and plumbing are not needed. A single switch and wires are all that's needed.

Exactly, my preference (but I need more info and preferably someone that has already done it) would be just a manual diverter valve that plugs into a single remoter and has two outputs.

I think you just described adding a remote. There are kits to do that and valves that stack for that purpose. Ask the guys on the hydraulics subforum. They live for these questions.

Stack the brush then burn it, don't all grapples work like that?

You bet!... At least that is how we feel while operating our grapples! :D

I might be able to help you, if you want to PM me. Fasse makes some nice valves you can stack..

Never said anything about dumping in a fire.....I said restacking it. That is precisely picking up burning and smoking stumps as fast as you can to rearrange the pile before the smoke comes back on you. You know, to get it to burn better.
Maybe I am using the wrong term. I can curl, then hit my thumb button and close the grapple. They don't move both at the same time. I am saying having your hand left on the joystick is way faster than moving between two different controls in two different positions.

My diverter valve is controlled by an elelctric valve switching flow of hydraulic fluid. Thus it is a electric/hydraulic diverter valve. It is not a third function valve. An electric/hyd. diverter valve does three functions with two circuits....thus it diverts the flow.

Oh yeah.........I'm so glad you stated how much experience you have. It always trumps out other's opinions.:rolleyes:

Don,
Please excuse me while I apologize to Island Tractor.

IT, I was told by a friend I was too harsh in my post (above). I realize now I was. Guess I have too much on my mind right now and with the cold weather, well, I was curt and I'm sorry.
hugs, Brandi

Not necessary Brandi. I am all for stating opinions clearly and strongly and backing them up with data and discussion. I don't think mealy mouthed uber polite discussions are very useful and much prefer to be frank. I never thought your post was too harsh. Your post did not injure me and while I appreciate the thought, no apology is necessary. But, I do accept the hugs. Thanks. Ed

Are the Kubota brand rear remotes 1/2" or 3/4"?

In that case..........double hugs. I needed to do it for me.
