Clarification on third function valve kit installation.

[gwisejr]

So to close out the thread. I ordered Summit Hydraulic's Diverter valve kit with the momentary lever. Reason being that according to the Branson info, devices connected off the Loader valve PB port will not operate while the loader is in use.. So there really is no need to go thru and make all the additional connections for the third function valve since you cant use it in conjunction with using the loader functions. With the diverter, I just plug it into the curl ports, the plug itn the curl hoses and then the additional "grapple" hoses and its done. Same wireing, etc...

I am in the process of installing the same Summit diverter kit on my 3015. Did you ever find out if this kit was rated for continuous use or not? I have no plans on using it for a FEL auger but it would be nice to know if I am able. Thanks

I did not confirm but they make that claim for their 3'rd function valve kit and it seems to me that they basically use similar components. I think the limiting factor is the solenoid. I also wanted one that could be used for a low flow auger.
