2011 3x20 series electro hydraulics

[homerjer]

Currently have a 3720 cab tractor. Noticed the 2011 3x20 cab models have a new designed control joystick with a thumb operated third valve control button, which would be a lot nicer then reaching back for the lever when using the 4 in 1 bucket. Apparently the control valve is now electric instead of manual. Just wondering if anyone has tried upgrading their tractor to this new control valve. First is it possible, and second what the cost is?

Thanks.

I don't know if there is a JD kit or not. The link is what I did to make the same function.

Not mine. When I want to open the jaws on my 4 in 1, I have to energize a rocker switch on the right side console. It switches the joystick over to the two sets of rear SCVs, one of which feeds the 4 in 1 jaw cylinders. Not the handiest design either. Could be wrong, but I think that button you're talking about might be for mid-SCVs (belly mower).

No, I am talking about the third selective control valve that in previous model years like mine is operated by a lever next to the 3 point hitch lever. You are referring to the diverter kit that switches the dual scv from the front to the rear. I have this installed also, but I also have the third scv installed also. So I have three outlets on the rear of my tractor. On the 2011 model year the third scv is operated via a button on the joystick instead of lever. See attached link describing new design. Looking to upgrade to this design as long as it is not to pricey.
