Remote Hydraulics

[jhburke]

I want to add remote hydraulics to my B7500HSD. I want to add a hyd top link to my 3 point. I would like to have at least 2 sets. One for the top link and another for hyd ajust on my back blade or a tilt cylinder. I need instructions on how to do this. My dealer only dithered when I talked to him.

You might want to look around a little on here. I think there are at least two active threads on that very topic. I'm sure if you do a search you'll find plenty under 'hydraulic top link' and 'top and tilt' or 'top & tilt' or 'top-n-tilt', etc.

Jim, did you ever add the remote hydraulics? I was passing a Kubota dealer yesterday morning, on the way to the golf course, and since I ws running early, I stopped to look around and visit. They had a B7500 in their rental fleet with three pairs of remotes; first I'd seen on that small a tractor. Sorry I didn't have my camera with me. The rental tractor had a FEL and a heavy duty 4' box blade, and the three pair of remotes, with quick couplers, were being used for hydraulic top 'n tilt and for hydraulic scarifiers or ripper teeth on the box blade. I thought they had just custom built the brackets and stuff for the three spool valve which was attached to the ROPS, but the guy told me it was a kit from Gearmore in California. It looked like a great arrangement, although the particular tractor it was on looked like a rental unit all right; looked like it had been used long and hard. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Jim....

I had a top and tilt installed on my JD4710. This required the installation of a 4th and 5th SCV and a diverter valve. Clear cut instructions to do this are not all that readily available. The JD technician who did my installation is a top notch technician but found this top and tilt install a challenge in terms of the time it took to do the install. I have no problems with its operation but I still remember him telling me it was somewhat problematic. It's not surprising to hear your dealer dithering....I've heard the same from a few other TBNers here in the forums. I'd certainly advocate getting good instructions if you do it yourself or find a good technician who knows what he's talking about and then follows through by doing it correctly.

The old adage, "When in doubt, don't..." applies here.

No I haven't yet. I am checking on an electric diverter valve. It would take one remote and give me three remotes. I am trying to get a price and pipeing diagram.
