Save a few hundred (about $500) and get your Top and Tilt from me.

If I go the diverter route is there any point in getting the 4th and 5th SCV? I suppose the more hydraulic options the better.

Many upper level implements have hydraulics. Snow blower chute, rear blade, industrial quality box blade to name a few. You don't want to be limited with what you will be able to use. Get them now and be happy later that you did.

I, and many of the other owner's of the JD110TLB have the 3-function diverter via the FEL joystick.
It's a great setup! However, I will admit to some frustration with using it... in the heat of battle; I will sometimes forget which end of the tractor is energized - the front loader or the rear SCV's.
Quickly remedied after some initial confusion, certainly.
That said; if I had the option of choosing - I'd take the EH 4th and 5th SCV's - with external levers. There are times when I'm moving snow; in particular, with a rear blade and TnT that I need to use the loader at the same time as I'm adjusting the rear blade. The tractor is moving and switching back and forth either stalls the loader operation or the rear blade adjustment. Would not have that issue with seperate controls.
My $0.02.

In my (very) short time with my 110 I find this to be more than true. Couldn't tell you how many times I've already dropped the loader while meaning to adjust the hydraulic TL. I do like it for it's simplicity (and the ability to be lazier without having to move your hand). I've also (maybe there's a trick) had a tougher time relieving pressure on the lines with the diverter valve than a lever like on my 3120. That said, I'd rather have the diverter valve any day. Plus, when you want a 4in1 or a grapple upfront, you have the controls already there:thumbsup:
I have a 3520 deluxe cab on order with the 3rd SVC and the "Third Function Hydraulic Lines and Hoses". The dealer will connect to the 4-in-1 bucket I have ordered also. However I have a AF11E front blade with hydraulic angle that I'm keeping from my 790 and I will need at least one Quick disconnect to make it work because the AF11E has two female quick disconnects and I can see that the 3rd function lines have a male and a female. Does anyone know what parts I need to get?
Thanks,
