hydraulic top link cat 1

[spo307]

I have two rear remotes on my kubota L4400, I am not sure if the ports are open in neutral? there are two control valves next to the seat 1 for each, would i need an additional control valve?

You don't need a valve-that is what you already have...You even stated :I have two control valves". You don't even need to worry about "open in neutral"...which the "ports" are not anyway.

I have a L4400 and I have the TnT and you are good to go just hook it up. I agree with Kenny. Keep in mind you may have 1 that is float detent valve if you are fortunate.

Whether you need it or not is an issue of debate 'round here...I say yes, others will disagree.

You can search these terms and maybe decide for yourself:

DPOCV
CCM
HTL

I have not found a need for the locking valve and would add that I use the joystick control for my top and tilt. Pushing the joystick fully forward puts my top link in float mode and is useful with some inplements, allowing them to follow the ground contour. I have found that I use the adjustments enough while grading that any leak off on the cylinders is not noticeable. If you don't have a float position on your control valve then it doesn't matter but the lock valves in my case would eliminate the abilty to use the float.

ok called the dealer today and explained he said is it a double acting piston i said yes he told me there is no need for a lock valve on my kubota, I do not have a flot position on rear remotes

You don't need the pilot lock vave deal. You may be happy to have one, as it is an added benifit for some applications.
