Hydraulic implement on Deere 1050

[chris401]

Hi everyone, new to the forum, and new to hydraulics.

I'd like to run an implement (a gregoire DX-20 leafer) off of a Deere 1050. The pump output etc is all well within spec (for gpm+psi), but unfortunately the 1050 has no additional ports / quick disconnects available.

I guess the hydraulics are just plumbed to the steering and the lift for the 3-pt hitch and there's no additional "selective control valve" ports available?

Is my only option to find the (expensive and not available anywhere I've looked) Deere SCV for this tractor, or is there another way to tap into the hydraulics? The implement itself has all of its own fancy electronic valves, so I think it just needs one "input" and one "return".

It is possible, having said that John Deere systems tend to be complicated and not for the uninitiated. I recently studied a JD 1070 WSM for another forum member,,,, .

With hydraulics, it is not a matter of lets try this and see what happens. In a second, expensive components are destroyed in one loud crack.

Hydraulic leaks are super dangerous.

In basic terms, what has to happen is the circuit to the 3 pt hitch is interrupted, a new control valve with a power beyond feature is inserted into the system.

The new control valve, one or two spool, controls the rear remote circuit(s). The power beyond port of the new valve now feeds the supply to the 3 pt hitch.

The hydraulic lines on the tractor will be steel so even the task of breaking the feed to the 3 pt hitch needs special skills to accomplish properly.
