NH TC30 Hydraulic Remotes

Hey guys!

Been trying to get some info from my dealer as well as some others. They're still checking on adding power-beyond. I'm limited to 1 rear remote. They also think I might be limited by pump output on the ability to running additional cylinders. Maybe I'll hear something more definate this week. If I can only run 1 rear remote without a power-beyond from that maybe I would be best to use the FEL power-beyond for the joystick valve for the T-N-T. Then I wonder if it's even worth adding the rear remote for the woodsplitter etc.

That's a load of BS...you can add 100 cylinders to your machine-you can't use them all at once but you can still add them.

They're still checking on adding power-beyond.

You already have that-that what you hook your splitter to.

Yeah that's what I thought Kenny. I'll wait awhile to see if I get any other input. You think it's worth adding the single rear remote if that's all that's available or just using the FEL power-beyond for the T-N-T/woodsplitter? Maybe I could use the rear remote for Top and run a dual purpose valve off the FEL for TILT and to use with the woodsplitter? Still like the joystick idea better.

Forget the dealer and the single remote. You should add a new joystick valve ($200) to your existing PB loop (probably $200-$300 in hoses, fittings and QD's) for your TnT setup. You will get exactly what you want and not have to settle for less.

Kenny
I spoke with another dealer. He said it's possible to stack the remote blocks together to get two remotes. The issue would be fender clearance. He said they're about 8" stacked. I have just enough room, then I would need to deal with lever placement and remote outlet routing since they come with the same piping. Do you think that's worth pursuing at $450/remote or not?
thanks again Matt
