Buying Advice Backhoe and remotes

[GMC Cooker]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a xj2025 and my question is if I order it with a backhoe will that automatically give it a remote on the rear of the tractor for the Backhoe to hookup too

No. They put in a power beyond valve in the loader valve and run the line to the BH. You have to order the remote kit separate if you want it but keep in mind that remote hydraulic valve will need to be engaged (detent kit sold separately) when you want to use the BH. With the power beyond its always getting pressure.

and additional info... when the BH is removed from the tractor, the line need to be plugged into the priority valve block under the seat to restore the hydraulic circuit

Mine has the remote. It is a good way to go especially if you are considering remotes in the future.

I've been thinking of order the kit but they are spendy and I don't have a use for it "yet"

Agreed. Had to install one when I got the grapple.

With mine, the original hose didn't reach. The dealer gave me an extension with couplings.
