Backhoe Confusion about 3rd function

Not to get off topic, but I would use caution with the placement of your hooks. Looks like they're mounted a good bit outside the arms. Careful not to twist your loader.

As to the OP. I used this setup for my 4025.
Construction Attachments Dedicated Third Function Hydraulic Valve Kit, Less Hoses, Up To 14 GPM Had my local hose shop fab what I needed and saved a couple of hundred dollars.

Thanks for the comment about the hooks, I am about to install mine and didn't know if there was a right or wrong way to do it.
Sounds like i need to line them up with the loader arms or inside a bit, does that work well?

Yep, that's the place. There's a thread on it. Do a search for "bucket hooks".

I'll search for it.

Or you can do what my dealer did and put one in the middle. I've never found a need for more than on and with both arms splitting the load there is little danger of twisting the loader.
