adding 3rd function to John Deere 5200 front loader

[papdaddy]

I have a JD 5200 with added 521 front loader. I want to add a 3rd function to the loader to operate a hydraulic rotary cutter. Can someone help me find the parts I need to make this happen. The JD dealer nearest me doesn't know what I need.

What you need is kit LV100117. I have attached some information from JDparts

If you PM (private message) me with your email address, I will email you the instruction for the kit, if you would like.

You can try this link, most models have digital manuals available, but not all: John Deere Ag - New Equipment: Technical Publications - Equipment Search


How much hydraulic flow does your machine have? And the cutter require? Most cutters need a bunch, and often a third hose is used as a case drain for the motor that goes back to the tank.

You can try JD as suggested. You can also try greenfarmparts.com. You can try SelectManuals.com - Workshop, Repair and Service Manuals for tech manual ($29.95).

Here is a link to parts catalog if you do not already have it.

Not sure what cutter you want to use but most front mount hydraulic rotary cutters require lots of flow to operate in the range of 15-20gpm. Your tractor only outputs around 11max probably more like 8-9 once it was piped up to the loader so don't think you would be able to do it. Only other option would be a pto pump and a tank mounted to the 3pt hitch.
