Top n tilt and quantity of remotes

[Theof]

Would like to add fit rite top n tilt to L6060. Currently have two sets of remotes. It appears TnT requires 2 sets of remotes, so will I have to add 2 additional sets of remotes to use my snowblower which requires 2 sets also. Don’t think my tractor can be set up that way.

The L60 series is limited to (3) sets of OEM remotes, but there are several aftermarket options to get the (4) remotes you want.
Summit hydraulics is a popular supplier.
I have (2) sets of OEM remotes on my L4060, and am in "Analysis Paralysis" over biting the bullet on adding (1) additional OEM remote, or using one of the various splitters available.

For the appplication, cheapest route available. How often will you really need to adjust all 4 instantaneously? Also, IME, it is very difficult to move 2,3,4 separate levers at the same time and rate.

In order to add a 4th remote on my L6060, I added a 4th OEM breakaway coupler housing to the stack.

I then ran hyd. hoses forward and connected them to the 3rd function valve:

A diverter would have been cheaper, but I already had the 3rd function valve installed. I only have a couple of implements that require 4 remotes. I don't use them often, so I didn't bother routing the hoses under the tractor for a more permanent install. I might do later if necessary.

The easiest way to get the additional sets of rear remotes is to add a diverters. With the diverters you can have (in your case) 3 sets of controls all with one control lever.


Simply add a control grip (probably to your #2 control lever) to one of your control levers and you then have the capability of controlling 3 separate functions and never move your hand from the control lever.

I now have poppet-type diverters, so no more drifting with the internal leakage that Kubota is known to have with their rear remotes. It sounds like you need a triple diverter to gain your 2 additional sets of couplers. I only have a picture of the 4 diverter set. So you would need a triple diverter set with the control grip as seen in the separate pictured control grip for your application.

Contact me if you are interested.

If you can you are either a rotor wing pilot, or a grader operator.

I have a L4060, so same cab & hydraulics. 3 rear remotes & a diverter on the loader. TnT cylinders from Mountain View Ranch.

Dealer went through several sets of valves to find a set that didn't have massive leak down issues. I have an okish on for my toplink. I love float on that & deal with a bit of leak down. On the sidelink they couldn't get one that didn't leak down fast. Dealer ended up putting a dual piloted check valve in to stop the leak down. It works, but prevents float.

I have to rob my toplink remotes to run both the rotate & deflector on my snowblower. Not a big deal as you don't need tilt after hooking up a blower & unplugging it prevents leak down. 4 remotes would be nice, but not worth any effort or expense to avoid a minute unplugging the toplink.

uhmmmmm...
I never thought of adjusting my hydraulic toplink, then unplugging the lines. The toplink will stay in position?
That would be a lot simpler than swapping the hydraulic toplink with a manual one when I use both remotes for my blower.

With both lines disconnected, the cylinder should only move if the cylinder is leaking past the piston seals.

Yup. No changes in toplink length from November to March when I leave the blower on & toplink unplugged. Tilting the blower will just result in it wearing shoes or cutting edges weird & it cutting poorly.

Open center hydraulics like on all our smaller tractors have can really only run 1 valve at a time. Loader valves internally are plumbed weird & can lift & curl at the same time to a degree. Anything else in the loop gets starved when an upstream valve is activated.

Lowering the boom with my hydraulic SSQA post hole digger more or less stalls the auger.

Not that you need to adjust many things at the same time on a tractor other than lift & curl on the loader.

Question

I have one rear remote valve (2 couplers).

Could I use these that you posted to get two more valves and could one have a float position?

I’m wanting to get a ditch bank flail mower and they need two valves and one has to have float capability.

Does the rear remote that you have, have the float feature?
If yes, then yes the diverter can provide the float function.

Any diverter can only provide the features that the controlling valve has.

No it doesn’t have a float position.

I wonder if there is any other way to get a float position for me?

 

[RjCorazza]

Just to throw it out there... I don't use float when using my ditch bank flail. It's not really a requirement, but may be useful under some conditions.
On my stream bank (primary purpose) I set the mower height with the 3 point, and adjust the angle and offset as I go.

WRLong has electric valves sets. If you have a cab. If you were to purchase a 2 valve set, one of the valves would have the float function available.
If you have an open station tractor, it's not that hard to put some manual valves on and have good feathering abilities as well as the float feature.

Replacing the OEM valve with another OEM valve that has float. Not cheap & they are a bit buried in there. But doable.

I’m not sure there ever was a OEM valve with the float capability. I’ll have to do some research to validate that.

I did the install of my first valve last year and it wasn’t that bad of a job and I didn’t remove the right rear tire.

 

[camshawn]

I only have 2 remotes. I swap in my manual top link if I am putting on the flail mower( it is a pressure operated so it does not move) as well as the manual tilt adjustment . It only takes 5 minutes and then I have the 2 remotes for my flail mower. I have a spot to hang the manual adjustment top and side links or the top and tilt cylinders just inside the shop door.

I have 2 OEM float valves in my L4060. Of course those were the ones that the dealer had to replace a couple times due to excessive leak down issues.
