DK40-- add a 3rd remote?

[IXLR8]

I have 2 rear remotes on my DK40, both are being used for T-N-T, I am considering adding hydraulic angle to my rear blade. What is the easiest way to get a 3rd remote to the tractor to be able to angle the blade on the move? I haven't seen where Kioti offers this option.

Thank you

As far as I know the "easiest" way is a diverter plugged into one of the existing remotes that makes 2 remote connections. So you wind up with 3 connections.. For example hook up to the original you are using for "tilt" and hook the "tilt" connection back up to the solenoid energized port of the diverter and hook up the blade angle to the non energized port, and use your existing factory remote lever to operate both, depending on the position of the electrical switch to operate the solenoid of the diverter. This should be a simple install, just mount the diverter, runs some electrical wire, and some hoses and connections.
I believe Brian, one of our members sells a kit for this (see link below) if you are interested, or you could source it out yourself from Surplus center.

Thanks James. :thumbsup: I happen to agree, once the OEM remote options have been reached, adding a diverter or even diverters is the way to go. Believe it or not, it is actually common to need 2 or even 3 additional remote sets and this can easily be done with the diverters.

That's my next project to add two diverters to my third rear remote for blade angle, and offset.

James & Brian- Thank you for the information. Now that I know how to add another remote I can start to research the best way to add hydraulic angle to my blade.

Jim, if you can get a couple of pictures of your blade, I would be happy to make some recommendations.

If you're not using your FEL, just run two longer hoses to the FEL connections.

Thanks, I won't be home again until the end of the week, I will get some pics to you then.

I thought about this... but I can't give up the FEL when clearing snow.
