New 2018 5075E Want to Add 3rd Function

[mtncur]

My new 5075E was delivered yesterday. I am now already wanting to start modifications to make the tractor as useful for my needs as possible. I am replacing a Kubota L3240 which I had installed the factory 3rd function kit. I initially thought on the new 5075 I would just run the hoses to the rear remote for a grapple, however, I've quickly decided I can't make it without the 3rd function. That said, I am at a loss as to what is needed for this kit. One of the changes JD has hyped on the 18 50E series tractors is the ability to "field" install a diverter valve without the need to purchase somewhere else. I'm not sure what that means and what is different on the 18 models and what is needed to be purchased. I'm definitely not a hydraulics person and would appreciate any input. My initial thoughts on this is that I may just need to buy the diverter kit and the 3rd function joystick since the Mid valves came on the tractory from the factory with the loader, but I may be wrong about this. Would I be better off to go the JD route or the W. L. Long kit?

Thanks in advance for the responses.

BXX10037 diverter for single point connection, BXX10030 diverter for quick coupler connection. Will also need LVA13698 3rd function joystick if not already installed.

Is there an advantage to getting the quick coupler connection? I can't imagine needing to temporarily remove the diverter.

Do you have to manually divert or is there an electric switch? I would call my dealer and ask them exactly what is needed. Hopefully since you purchased the tractor from them they will be willing to provide part and install guidance. Maybe then shop online for the parts if they are cheaper to obtain outside the dealer.

I know that utilizing the dealer sounds like the best option, however, that is another story. Unfortunately, dealer support isn't what it used to be. That said, I will probably give them a call and see what they say.

That is dictated by your current loader set up. If you have the multicoupler (single point connection) you go that route if you have conventional couplers you go that route.

Gotcha, my loader isn't equipped with the single point connection so I would need the conventional coupler model.

Is this pretty straight forward to install or should I consider having the dealer do it?

Gosh sorry to hear that. My dealer is fantastic.

Well, I talked to the dealer. They are saying that the diverter kit doesnt have the hoses needed and arent sure where to hook into the tractor to get hydraulic flow. Right now theyre saying it will be around $1,600. Best I can tell the diverter kit retails for around $750 and the joystick $198. Im not getting a warm fuzzy.

I just finished a third SCV on my 5200. It wasn't easy, but the Deere instructions and parts were first rate. Everything fit.

You might ask the dealer about the kit for your tractor. It'll be less cost than buying individual parts.
