Anybody used one of these Hydraulic Multipliers?

I have just 1 rear remote on my M and saw this as a less expensive and more convenient way to get another remote.
Any feedback or comments on its usage?

I don't have that particular one, I do have a diverter valve on my back blade it works fine.
I would expect that to work well also.

They work well. Those that have a switch capable of being mounted on your existing remote valve control lever might serve you better than that one. I'm not sure I would call any splitter or diverter more convenient than an additional OEM remote. They certainly are less expensive.

There are a ton of videos online for their products.

What valve controls your current "remote"?

Is your goal to operate different cylinders with the same valve?

Some of the issues with that type of unit is the weight that is constantly pulling down on the factory couplers as well as now your couplers are 6"-8" further back.

As RickB mentioned, it seems like it would be better to have the controls on the existing control lever vs having to reach away from the control lever to be switching the diverter back & forth.

Just a few things that you might want to consider before making the purchase.

I personally would get a second factory valve with the float feature for the $850 that they want.

Just my :2cents:

I have a diverter with a momentary push button and I absolutely love it. So much easier than two separate valves. Odds there is one hydraulic circuit you will use 90% of the time. Keep that on the main circuit and when you need the use the other one just push and hold the button. Circuit immediately defaults back to the main circuit. I don't think I would like on with the selector switch because I would forget which circuit I was on.

I only have the one control lever for the rear remote. I have gotten used to reaching down for it when needed.
That remote is currently in use for the snowplow angling or when attached, the grapple.
I thought if I wanted a to use the hydraulic side link I have yet to install I would need another circuit.
