4 hydraulic levers on 3000 series

[evan4434]

Is there anyway to have 4 hydraulic levers on a Cub Cadet 3184?

I have two now one for a 3 point hitch and one for the deck. I can get a dozer blade with hydraulic angling for cheap. I would need two new levers though one to move the blade side to side and one to move it up and down.

Yes. I've seen it on one machine. Looked a bit strange, but worked. I think the lever was located right next to the seat. I THINK Cub has a kit, but don't quote me on it....worth a call to your dealer.

I recently asked a similar question on another forum. I was informed that CC offers a 4-lever setup that fits in place of the stock 3-lever setup. I haven't yet looked into this myself, but I have heard about it from several sources.

Also, another poster purchased a 2nd cup holder/lever piece and installed it on the right fender. Details can be found at the following site http://www.mytractorforum.com/showthread.php?t=100065&highlight=lever .

Best of luck,

Wow thanks for the link.

Here is what I want to do. I want to add the quick disconnects under the left floor board like the 3200 has. I can get kit number 190-415-100 for this, but I don't want to use the cub cadet hydro actuator on the fender. I want to use this for the supply lines for a loader (or other tool) that has its own hydro actuators on it. Is there any way to make this work when the loader is off the mower? I would think not having a valve on the Cub would disconnect the hydro circuit. How do you get around this?

The other option I thought of would be to install the valve for the cub cadet kit, but when using the loader lock the cub cadet valve actuator arm up or down to supply the loader valve with hydro fluid. Would this work?

why not just run the line without a valve? the quick disconnect would work like the valve is closed whan nothing is hooked up to it.

o, and if your looking at a loader, why bother with the dozer blade? i know you said its cheap, but the loader would take the place of the dozer blade. im pretty sure you can even put plows on the loaders too. i think a loader would eliminate any other tool you might need. i saw you used forks on your 3ph, kwikway makes forks for their bucket. i would think that if you spring for the loader frame, you could do anything else you want with it.

Ya think the plow is out and I am only looking at making or getting a loader. The problem I see with leaving the valve out is there would be no return path back to the pump unless there was a bypass valve installed somewhere, or make a loop at the end of the quick connects to loop the fluid back to the pump when there is no loader on the front.

 

[highboy1975]

make the quick disconnects the same male and female and just connect them. id really consider combining everything into the loader, KISS- keep it stupid simple.

o, just re-read that as your not getting the plow now. you should be able to use just 3 levers your your deck, 3ph, and loader.

I don't think the pump on your tractor would be enough to handle a loader. All the loader I've ever seen on cub cadets always have a auxiliary pump for the loader. From what I've read about, if you use the hydro pump, the loader will work, but be painfully slow. But i could be very wrong. I usually only deal with the IH built Cub Cadets, sop maybe the newer ones have a higher output pump than the older ones.

where does the aux pump mount?
