L39 Backhoe problems

[DivineL39]

Just trying to make a comparison.
I bought a 2006 L48 with 250 hours, from orig owner, in June.

Has nice features.
Hyd. SSQA, 3rd function (with diverter), 3 rear remotes, hyd. thumb, 3pt hitch, PTO, QA hoe bucket, 11ft. dig.
It was more than I wanted to pay at $32K, but it is barely broken in, and I am a 79 year old guy,.... so it is my last shot.

Bought new EA forks, and will order MS Attachments E-Series root rake (grapple) next month.
Have repainted wheels and fenders, with more to go (14 year old machine).
I hate "MARY KAY PINK" !!!!!

Do you mind elaborating. Im kinda new to hydraulics and all.
Mine has quick attach front and hoe bucket, and 3rd function plumbing front and hoe. My questions are, what do you mean by "with diverter, Hyd.ssqa" and "3 rear remotes"?
Please explain like I'm an autistic 3rd grader, Im still learning the lingo.
Also, jus to let you know, I looked at one closer to me with no extras, just plain stock L39 TBL, it was 32,000.00, They wouldn't budge.

The diverter is part of the 3rd function system. Hyd. SSQA, is .... skid steer quick attach, in this particular case it is remotely hydraulically operated.
I can engage the diverter, drive up to the QA bucket, forks, or grapple, connect to either, and hydraulically close the QA locks, all without dismounting.
I can then re-select the diverter to operate a grapple, or whatever else hydraulically.

The 3 rear remotes are rear mounted hydraulic valves/sources for up to 3 additional hydraulic functions.
The Hyd. thumb has it's own separate hydraulic (foot operated) valve as well.

Thanks,
That is a lot of Hydraulics. Sounds nice. Also sounds like you got a great deal. Mine has the plumbing and foot pedal for the thumb, the thumb is being built as we speak. What could a man need with 3 extra hydraulic circuits on a backhoe?

The 3 extra circuits are if you take the backhoe hoe off and put on the 3point hitch for hyd top link etc.....

Is The M that much different than mine? On mine if you set the hoe off and want to use 3 point lift for anything you have two directional levers you have to pull. They deactivate the 3 ports that the hoe was connected to and activate the lift arms, So the two cant be used at the same time.

The 3 ports are for the backhoe are down low but you can get 3 rear remote ports also mounted on the top right side of the tractor....

That's ok.... The TLB tractor are very nice , But taking the backhoe off and putting the 3point hitch on takes a little time...

This attachment does not work for me.

To clarify: I have 3 remote valves located on the top of the right fender.
They were probably dealer installed.
