2210 tractor question

[JimD]

On the JD web site under the price and build for the 2210 tractor there is this.

7010 Dual Mid Selective Control Valve

Does anyone know what this is or what it does?

The dual mid selective control valve is a four-way hydraulic valve actuated by a joystick type control. This valve routes hydraulic fluid to operate, for example, the boom and bucket cylinders of a front-end loader (FEL), or the lift and angle cylinders of a front blade.

For example on a loader, the four-ways of the valve are: Moving the joystick control back lifts the loader's boom cylinders (#1); moving the control forward lowers the boom cylinders (#2).

Moving the joystick control to the left curls the loader bucket up (#3) and moving the control to the right dumps or rolls down the bucket (#4).

Sitting on a 2210 tractor, the valve is located below the fender cowling, to the extreme right and low of the seat.

Thanks for the information. The dealer told me that there are no options for this tractor. When I saw this valve on the JD web site I was a little confused. The dealer has a 2210 in stock and he tells me that it is set up for a loader. I set up a test drive for this Wed. Will let everyone know how it goes.
