Be aware that Brian

Good Luck!

Thanks. I kinda gathered that and may have to try another avenue.

I just bought a used 60" snowblower that had hydraulics for the rotation and angle on the shoot. There are no existing remotes on my tractor but I'll need to get this sorted before the snow arrives. I'm a newbie on the hydraulics side so I could use some expert advice. What do I need and where do I start. TIA

I was faced with the same problem on my L3430 HST. My machine had a single rear remote which is used for a hydraulic top link. It also had the backhoe hoses attached to the PB block so I tapped into that circuit and made up a fender mounted valve setup to control 2 more remotes:

I ordered 2 more OEM coupler housings and added them to the stack:

This also allows me to add a tilt cylinder for use when the snow blower isn't attached.

The project cost less than half what the dealer wanted to add 2 OEM remotes.

BTW, I traded the L3430 but kept the valve, hoses, 2 remote housings and the ROPS mounting bracket. PM me if you're interested.

That is a nice looking set-up. I would be definitely interested. I'll see if I can figure out the PM procedure.

I received your PM but was not able to respond so I started a new conversation.
