hydraulic remote scv addition

CaptJCHill · Mar 23, 2012

Any ideas on what it would cost to add some extra remote scv to my kubota m5700? It already has one installed from the factory.How big of a job to do it yourself?

I believe it would depend on where you get all the parts and whether you can do all the work your self.

I can do the work myself and would like to have a factory kit,or vey good substitute.I just don,t want to source every nut and fitting.
Thanks,
John

How many do you want to add? If you only want to add 1 so that you would have 2, I have an electric setup that literally plugs into your existing outlet, run a couple of wires and you are good to go.

Some SCV's can be stacked for as many ports as you want.

Maybe three of these, with a 3 station subplate.

Would you rather have a remote with 3 or 4 spools, for T-N-T, BH, log splitter, etc.

Thanks for the info guys. I think what I want is a hydraulic top link and lower link,but the situation needs more study!

Best place to start with is your Kubota dealer. Ask about the remotes with the float position and the self canceling units. As long as you are doing this, think about getting 2 more so that you will have all 3. Trust us when we say that you will need them in the future. Oh, if you get the OEM valves, be sure to get at least one with the float position.

Good luck with your research and decision.

PS, a complete "TnT" set up for your tractor is $600 + shipping costs.
