- Kioti DK50SE Cab, Kubota BX23, Kubota BX2660, Grasshopper 729BT
I've decided to buy the Kioti DK50SE HST Cab. I know how I want it equipped EXCEPT that I'm a hydraulics idiot, and I want to make sure I order it right.
It comes with one set of rear remotes. I'm gonna have them add another set. I want to eventually put a hydraulic top-link on it, which will use one set of remotes.
And I want a grapple, although I'll probably just use one of the rear hydraulic remotes and run the lines to the front and use that lever to open and close the grapple, instead of a true third function. That will use the other set of remotes.
So, what kind of hydraulic remotes are required for these two uses? Kubota calls theirs "Double Acting" or "Float-Detent", but that means nothing to me. The ones we used on the farm years ago were used to raise and lower pull type plows, and that's all I've ever used. Those didn't have a detent.
