I have a JD 5100e with 2 rear hydraulic sets. Each has a control lever in the cab. There is a spot for another lever.

My question is 2 fold.

First, I'd like to get the setup for FitRite's Top/side link.

AND... I want to insure that I have the necessary valve setup for a post driver.

At this point, I do not believe there is any Power Beyond on the tractor. My understanding is that PB works as a continuous flow setup to be used 'externally' by equipment such as a post driver, which has its own set of control valves/levers to run the machine. There is no valve setup marked such, but there is a PB and arrow pointing towards an empty spot to the right of the current 2 valve setup. Apparently saying 'this is where it goes'.

What do I need to have the above capabilities? I know that I can get electronic control valves added to maintain my current availability and add the hydraulic toplink and sidelink. But, I think I still need something additional for the PB to work.
