Hydraulic SSQA idea

[TMGT]

Yes exactly. I swap between forks and bucket attachments quite a bit and that's really what it will be used for. The valve will be mounted right by the seat for easy operation.

Are you taking about mounting the manual diverter by the seat?

 

[TMGT]

What about changing back and forth between buckets and forks and other inplements that have no hydraulics? I would rather be able to operate it from the seat otherwise I can just flip the levers if I am up front anyway...

You still wouldn't have to get of the tractor to switch implements, only when connecting something that's going to use the 3rd function, which you would have to get off to connect the hoses anyway.

I don't have the additional hydraulic circuit on my tractor yet, but its on my list of things to do because I do want a grapple, and being able to hydraulicly articulate my snow plow would be NICE! With that said, I think this is what I want to do for operating the SSQA.

Inexpensive, easy to install, easy to revert back to manual, easy to maintain, easy to replace, and seems to be holding up well.

Yup!

I thought about doing the electric version of it, but think I would rather do it with hydraulics.

Getting off and on my tractor to lock the QA pins is a big part of my exercise program

 

[TMGT]

Yup!

I would mount it on the loader at the 3rd function quick couplers, save you from running additional hoses.

What's your total cost with wiring relays connector etc. end up being?

I plan to do a manual valve. I suppose I could do an electric one and mount the valve on the loader.

It can be done pretty cheap with an electric actuator.
