$850 for my dealer to add an extra set of oem remotes to my Tractor. They want $829 for the multiplier that you have linked here. It may be a good option for some old tractors.

I have a TYM T574 Cab HST I will be doing a lot of land grading with a box blade and I want to add top and tilt. What valves would you recommend I use Spring or Detent and if Detent which kind? Great video!

[@sethjohnson4450]

Just took delivery of my 3560LE this afternoon. Pretty excited. My hydraulic back blade is back ordered 6 months or so. Might have to to look into a tilt cylinder though. That would be handy.

[@JaredsShop]

Awesome. Congrats!! It is super useful. I use mine all of the time.

[@daveaardal4873]

Good job on the video! I’ve always wondered…

[@JaredsShop]

Thank you!!

[@appalachianheartsong5487]

Jared, another really helpful video. I will eventually splurge on this rear remote setup as I believe it’s a wise investment over time and distance. Your video on installing them was also excellent, and I have saved that one for the future install. The only downside I have had with the L3560 is that I cannot lift much weight with the bucket and on several occasions now have found it surprisingly unimpressive with seemingly light loads. Not sure if you have had similar experiences. R/ Dan

[@JaredsShop]

Dan, thank you so much! No, I do not have the same experience. Do you have the LA555 loader or LA805 loader? I find the LA805 loader pretty impressive and am surprised by what I can do with a tractor of this size.

[@robertehrhard2243]

Nice job! I don’t currently have rear remotes but I do have outlets for a backhoe so I now see the need for a valve block to give me the ability to direct and control the hydraulics that are already at the rear of the tractor. Do you have any videos on installing a hydraulic selector block?

[@JaredsShop]

Yes. There is another video with the rear remote install. Adding Rear Remotes To Kubota L3560 - #49 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGTTY6ptfrWSpaM

[@deer4200]

Thank you Jared. I have a B2650 with a Tractor Supply County Line log splitter. I was told log splitters can over heat the oil because there is a constant flow. I asked my dealer about it and

[@deer4200]

he said if I keep the tractor level and keep oil at full mark and avoid bottoming out and stopping automatic stop when cylinder retracts I should be fine. What is your advice?

[@JaredsShop]

Yes. That is a risk. The fluid is going through your rear remotes any time your tractor is running so you’re not really generating any extra heat just because you hook up a splitter. The heat will come with the use, and specifically, working it hard. If the splitter is straining to split a piece or if you let it dead head too much you’ll increase heat. I’d buy a cheap laser thermometer and keep it with you. Shoot the valve blocks on a day when you’re using the tractor hard and get an idea for the baseline temp. Then, when you’re using the splitter, shoot the valve on the splitter every so often and see what the temps are. I’ll look up the factory temp specs and let you know.

[@deer4200]

Thank you!!

[@ASTANELAND]

I have an LX3310 cab with a QH15 and hydraulic top link and a Land Pride 1672 hydraulic angle Rear Blade. No requirement for a hydraulic side link yet but I like your setup.

[@JaredsShop]

Thanks! I don’t always need it but it’s nice when I need to adjust on the fly. There’s many times the tractor is angled and I need to grade something level, or vice versa. I use it a lot on driveways when cutting crowns.

[@benrorvig9951]

Thanks for the viedo! What kind of hydraulic cylinders do you use on the rear controls? Looks like you used tie rod cylinders. I'm just not sure what the common cylinders are for these hydraulics, and I need to decide on some for a project.

[@FriendlyCleaningKC]

Yep I need rear remotes soon too. I plan to order the kit next month

[@JaredsShop]

Good deal. What will you be using your remotes with?

[@FriendlyCleaningKC]

@@JaredsShop grapple and post hole digger

[@JaredsShop]

@@FriendlyCleaningKC You’ll be running your grapple off your third function won’t you?

[@FriendlyCleaningKC]

@@JaredsShop yes

[@ronaldfreeman7162]

I have a massey ferguson 398, I just purchased a backhoe, what would be the hydraulic style I would need for it?

[@BuzzJones]

I wanted to get a second rear remote on my Kioti DK10se for a side link but not sure if the Spring style is a Non Detent and Float style like you mentioned ? The Dealer said he didnt know of a float style just a Detent or Spring ( Non Detent) .

[@JaredsShop]

I’ll have to look up and see what is offered for your tractor. I think it’d be rare to not offer a float option. It’s more common to offer a float and not a detent power option. Detent flow is rare because the constant flow of fluid can increase heat on the tractor.

[@JaredsShop]

I see in the brochure that only two styles are offered. If you push on your current one all the way in either direction, will it lock into place?

[@BuzzJones]

@@JaredsShop IDK if thats the same as the factory rear remote I have will run until the lever is manually put back to center. I thought the Spring style they said I can leave the lever where ever I want and it will just stay and the Hydraulics stop. Is that sound correct ??

[@JaredsShop]

@@BuzzJones Make sure you’re not confusing the 3pt lever with the rear remotes. The 3pt should be a lever that you move to a place and it stays there. The rear remotes are like your loader joystick, when you lift or lower, it comes back to center when you’re done. If the lever stayed there then fluid would continue to flow. When you push your loader all the way forward to go down, do you feel a place where it kinda “snaps” into place? That’s what a float valve feels like.

[@BuzzJones]

@@JaredsShop Yes I am familiar with all that though my one rear remote is a Detent style I have hooked to a Top Link, and it stays on until you move the lever to Neutral. I got it figured out with a Dealer, I am getting a second Rear Remote, a SPRING style this time, so it will do what you said. Kioti said the DK10SE can not be fitted with a Detent Float Style, only the NX & RX has that. Thanks

[@braxtonwiggins6576]

Off topic but I have a L6060 setup with the three valves in the back and you seem like a handy guy like myself and particular with how your tractor looks. Have you looked into adding a toolbox to the back. I’ve been trying to find a option but want it to look factory and not just mount a painted ammo can

[@JaredsShop]

I’ve been stewing over that myself but haven’t decided on what I want to do. I’ve thought about mounting something out back but if I do that I’ll have to remove it when I use the backhoe. I’m guessing I’ll probably end up with something on the loader mount somewhere. With that said, I don’t have many things I feel the need to carry with me. What is it you want to keep in your toolbox?

[@braxtonwiggins6576]

@@JaredsShop I always carry extra Clevis pins, top link pins and cat1-cat 2 bushings as my 6060 has cat 2 links. Right now I have everything in a Milwaukee tool bag that came with a drill stuffed behind the seat till I figure a solution. I don’t have a backhoe so I’ll mount something out back. Just haven’t honed in on a oem looking solution yet

[@JaredsShop]

@@braxtonwiggins6576 I think I saved a post by someone who mentioned a toolbox that I like the looks of. I’m thinking it was rural king but don’t quote me. I’ll see what I can find. I use a quick hitch so I carry extra pins or bushing. I’ve thought some basic tools could be nice. On our farm tractors they were always mounted up front or on the side frame.
