New Holland T4.75 Diverter Questions

[CJ4]

Got my new T 4.75 in and on the invoice it's listed as having under Mid-mount valves.....mid-mount w/mec Joystick + div?? Ok so I understand the hyd set of connections on the loader is hooked to the mid valve and the button on the joystick when held down diverts the fluid to those connections, in my case will open/close the grapple. However, there is a 2nd button on my joystick that does nothing. Is this button available for another Diverter to run a 2nd set of lines and connections to the front of the loader like the first one was done? If so, is this function already there and just needs the lines ran or is this like adding a 2nd remote ie: I would have to purchase another Diverter valve to add to the mid mount valve to do this???

I want to add a tilt attachment to the loader. Their system will sell you a Diverter valve with an electric switch so you can flow thru or divert from their cylinder to like a grapple. However that requires running the wire in the cab etc that I dont want to do if I already have opportunities on my Tractor to accomplish this. Man, you could have things on your Tractor that you dont even know about for years. I need educating on what my Tractor has. Thanks for the help in advance!

I use a true 3rd function with two joystick buttons. I wonder if your handle is equipped with two buttons just in case?

I seriously doubt the tractor has more hydraulics than you are aware of.

I can't remember, is this tractor new or used?

Congrats on getting it. Anxious to hear reports as you use it. I'd seriously consider one if I ever trade or buy again.

Another thought, I've heard of joystick buttons that put the shuttle into neutral when depressed and held. Very nice feature to temporarily stall movement when needing to raise bucket.

Thanks for the reply ovrszd. Yes, it's new. No, this joystick doesn't put the shuttle in neutral. The manual doesn't explain or address my questions at all. Sometimes the dealers don't even know all the particulars. Hoping some owners here can get to the bottom of what's available or what capabilities I already have. Don't bet on it having something I don't know about...…….I had my TC55DA for 13 yrs and don't remember knowing it had a float position on the loader! Ok...…..call me stupid, I deserve that one!

 

[ovrszd]

Yeah, I hope someone chimes in with the answers. I'm curious.

CJ4, Congrats on your new purchase. I am getting the Case Farmall 75C which is the exact same as the T4.75 almost line for line. The only thing different I found is the Case has a 7.3gpm steering pump vs your 9.* steering pump which is odd. My tractor has the loader handle with the buttons from factory but the dealer has to install the 3rd scv lines. I thought one button was for opening and one for closing so now I will have to see what the buttons actually do on delivery which is about 3-4 weeks away still.
