Finally added rear remotes

[Mallard1]

Couldn稚 find the thread where everyone helped get me started but wanted to show the results now that I got my remotes installed and everything appears to work great. I ended up with a 5 valve bank made up of 2 float valves, 2 spring center valves and one solenoid operated valve. The solenoid valve is connected to the joystick for when I get a grapple and also to a rocker switch so I can power the lane shark. Here are the pictures all criticism is welcome.

What is the third port up front for?

 

[ruffdog]

Is there enough oil volume and cooling for the shark?

What is the third port up front for?

the two on the left are both pressure, the third on the right is just a return to tank. the lane shark says it is supposed to be plumbed with one port return to tank. i assume this accomplishes three things, first less resistance for the fluid after the pump to keep from building pressure, 2: when turned off the motor will act as a pump as it spins and send the rest of the fluid to the tank vs against the valve. 3. when you turn off the remote you cannot bump it the wrong way which would instantly try to reverse the direction of the mower which would be hard on it.

Is there enough oil volume and cooling for the shark?

I have only seen the flow required for the lane shark and it list a minimum of 8 gph with a recommended flow of 10 gph. my tractor is supposed to put out 12 gpm but I don't know how much of that the hydro-stat eats up.

as to the cooling I have a 10 gallon tank so that will circulated the entire sump every 50 seconds with max flow. I will probably carry a temp gun with me and shoot the sump the first time it get to use the lane shark for an extended amount of time and see how it is heating up.

I know of two new 2019 Kubota L6060HST that are using lane sharks without issue and also a 2015 Mahindra 5010HST that has no issues to date. I will just have to see how it runs though.

Keep us posted on how the shark and hydraulics work for you! :thumbsup:

Thanks, I spent a lot of time thinking of how exactly I wanted to locate everything then after all the parts came in I had to tweak it some. Most people probably would not like the left hand levers but I知 left handed so it doesn稚 bother me. If I had put them on the right side it would have borderline interfered with the 3pt lever so I didn稚 want to mess with that. On the left side I have the range selector and I have to kind of grab it from the front to go from c range. However I switch ranges a lot less times than I raise and lower the 3pt hitch.

If it will quit raining I have several miles of road and trails to trim the sides so I知 looking forward to see how it performs without a cab.
