Hoses for the top and side link cylinders, since these are restricted anyway is there any reason to not use 1/4 hoses? or an advantage to larger hoses? Not really concerned about price, just thinking the smaller will be more flexible for routing.

Look up a manual for your loader it should show which port is the power beyond and tank ports.

So I settled with the one from WR Long and I bought it from Everything attachments, I had to call them though because it is not listed by itself. It was a hundred and change for just the handle and switch, no wire. For my loader joystick i didn't care for the style Brian has and I figured by...

I checked with kubota as I liked it the best and theirs was $400 something so that was a no go. They only one they had available was the landpride dome looking one with the buttons on the side that look like they would to easily be activated accidentally.

Ya, I preferred Brian's recommendation of running the 3rd function off the rear remote, although more hose, it will be a much cleaner install and more useable as an auxilary for an implement.

Ya, I just came across your set up the night before last, looks nice. But the 3130 has a floor board for lack of a better word, from the back of the seat/toolbox all the way down to your feet, so it's not open like yours. I started to and really wanted to do it under the floor board and have it...

Thank you Brian.

Although I am contemplating turning them upright and putting the qd's directly to the valve to avoid doing all the little short hoses to get to the qd's. But I need to find out if there are some kind of offsets I can put on the ports as they are to close together for the quick disconnects.

Thanks Dan, That's a good idea the pics I had seen of the T down on the block that was my first thought of it getting hit or something hung on it, as I have done a lot of stuff in the woods with it. it's a little tighter up at the fel controls but I can probably do it fine. I'm using bucher...

With that said I am hoping someone can confirm my plumbing on this. Thanks

I hate to read threads that don't follow thru so here is the follow up. Thru conversation with Brian at FitRite he recommended doing 3 rear remotes, one electric for the grapple, which could be disconnected if needed to use in the rear for an implement. A floating valve for the top cylinder and...

I want it all. LOL edited first post to be a little less confusing, hopefully) I don't want to short change myself on any of it. But I don't want to just blow money.

I have an 2003 L3130 HST. I want to make a grapple for the bucket and pallet forks, also want top n tilt, and also have auxiliary for 3pt attachment if I ever need one such as back hoe attachment. Does doing any one of these make it easier to do it all while doing it? In other words I don't...

If the whine was twice as bad I would still take it over having to clutch and shift gears again. I don't like to say never, but I will not likely ever have a non HST tractor!

Thanks, but not my idea, I'm pretty sure I saw it here. However the two small ones I did heat the pipe up and expand it to maximize the space, not much difference I imagine, but did it cuz I could suppose.
