XG3135 Rear hydraulic lines question

lonelyop · Feb 23, 2023

The lines in the rear of my xg3135 are always in the way. One high pressure, one return. When not connect to the BH I just connect them together. They're always in the damned way and I'm waiting for them to get pinched by the 3pt or some opther implement someday. I've seen other tractors that seem to have a bracket on the back for keeping these lines out of the way. Is that an option that I just didn't buy? Is it possible the dealer didn't install everything? Are there universal bracket options available, or should I just make my own?

I'll attach an image of what I'm desiring, or at least something close.

Thanks!

Those are dual remotes, an option you can buy. Adds a set of valves in line with your 3 point, control levers and the QD you showing. Also includes hard lines from your loader valve back to the new valve.
I've been toying with adding my system but so far I've been using the BH way too much to remove it.

On my tractor, the BH lines plug into one set of those rear remotes you have a picture of. If you didn't get the remotes, the BH has 3 hoses, one of which you have to plug back into the tractor creating a "loop", as you describe.

You can change your set up on the BH easily, just removing the tank line and installing a plug. The remotes are going to cost you.... probably around a $1K.

I had 2 LS tractors, the first being like yours. I just used small bungies to pull the "loop" hose out of the way. When I received the new tractor, it had the remote setup for the BH and it is a world of difference!

I don't have remotes but my BH has 2 hoses that plug to each other when the BH is removed.

I wonder how much of a hassle it is to get the kit for the 2 connections I have now. The 4 connection one would be great, but I'm guessing that adds an additional valve as well. I'm betting neither is cheap. Don't know if this is something that has to be done by dealer either.

I've seen these universal kits too, not sure if that's a viable option.

I think the kit "was" going for around 1k (if you can find it) and it is easy enough to install. Some good vids online if you prefer visuals. I'm still debating if I need it.
