Adding 2nd rear remote to 6000

[Slippy]

Looking to add a 2nd rear remote to my 6000. Called local dealer and kit is about $575. Anyone done this, purchased kit, installed. What is involved? Does the kit come with steel lines? Should I hire it out, or is it relativley simple. I never seem to have much luck bleeding hydraulic lines, is that part of the process?

Siippy, it'll be interesting to see what the responses are....I'm embarrassed to say this, but I've never used the remote on mine---don't have anything that requires it (Have PTO pump for the BH). I think I saw a unit that splits the one that's there and makes a double (both run off the same plumbing). Not sure how it works but it may be worth a look...I believe I saw it on this site somewhere....BobG in VA

You're talking about the hydraulic multiplier. It doubles existing hyd outlets, you can control 2 or more circuits from your tractor lever, is universal, and has a plug in design for valve and controls. Fasse makes them and I see them selling for about $405.

I did a couple of different searchs but did not find anything like that. Will need second control. I want to add a tilt cylinder to adjust my box blade. I use the one I have for things like my 10' cutter to adjust the height. I have a second set of ports that I use to hook up my back hoe, but there is no control lever associated with them. In order to use them I have to switch out two hoses at my loader control. By doing this it disconnects the 3pt and provides power to the bh.

BobG, is yours hooked up the same way.

As you are looking at the first picture, the hoe hooks up on the right.

In the second picture you will see a dummy hook up on the outside of the loader frame, or closest to you. It is switched out witht the top hose on the other side of the frame. Further explanation on photo.

Oleozz: Do you use your existing lever, one lever for both sets? How does that work?

It's a little more involved than you would expect to add the second remote, but isn't anything complicated. It takes about 1.5 hours if I recall correctly. It comes with steel tubing, no hoses that I can recall. It's all hard plumbed.

Hmm...I think 3 sets is the max, is it that much more or difficult to install with 3 sets?

Slippy, I purchased my 3rd remote a while ago, doesn't seem like it will be to hard to install, just need some time and no wind to do it. I would think that adding 2 more remotes would be just as easy as only adding 1, except for the cost. The 3rd remote if bought at the same time should be slightly less money I would think, since you would be buying only 1 set of replacement hard lines.

I called dealer and they told me 3rd remote was not available. Are you putting in after market remote?

Slippy, Mahindra doesn't sell 3rd spool remote kits for the 00 series but on the 20 series they do.
