Installed a diverter valve on the remotes so I could get another set of remotes. Should be particularly useful when running the plow as I can adjust the hydraulic top link on the go. Before I had to use the mechanical top link.

A bit tricky with all the angle but got it done with two short pieces of tubing. Came out alright. Not an huge fan of the long/short quick disconnect setup but it is was it is.

The switch got mounted on the remote lever and it's almost like a trigger. Makes it nice to use.

I will also leave this picture here as I kinda got burned for not checking the fittings before. That M18x1.5 fitting, I was dead sure it was either 3/8" BSPP or 1/2" BSPP. Nope.

This should apply to the European F and 25 series, as well as to the US 15 and 20 series.

Never enough remotes, my 8050 has three sets and I still have diverter on my back blade.

Moved a bit of sand with my 8050 today, a nice easy job after her having to max out the loader frequently the last several days. Nothing like having to unload bin/mafia blocks off the trailer 3600 pounds each.
3 plus a half block on each load, around 12,800 pounds.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my winter sand bunker. Last week I moved all the sand over to the right side so I could remove the left wall and redo it to square the whole thing up in preperation of a coverall going on it.

all the sand moved back over to the left side, had to finish the job with the little Kioti (narrower bucket)

The 8050 has had to lift and shuttle the 8 blocks on the old left wall, unload and stack the 9 new blocks, then move and set the 10 for the new left wall
