I have a B3200 with a BH76 backhoe and factory rear remotes. Can I add hoses to one of the rear remotes and run a grapple while the backhoe is attached? The previous owner used the rear remotes for a stump grinder.

I could be wrong , but I think the BH Supply line would need to be connected back into the PB port for use of the rear Remotes. Or only one can be used at a time with out damaging the Pump.

I have seen where others have done that. It might be a bit more clunky than a dedicated 3rd function, but it should work. I have thought about doing the opposite for a rear remote as I have none, but do have a 3rd function.

That's what I'm concerned about/trying to confirm. I'm not a hydraulics expert by any means...

My BH77 manual states the BH must be removed whenever using anything (including the 3-point) downstream of the BH. So it really depends on the BH76 (its requirements/warnings) and if it’s ‘next to last’ (last would be the 3-PT) in the PB loop. Where does the outlet flow of the BH connect to now? And where does the PB from the Rear Remotes head to?

You could always leave the backhoe mounted and unpluged with male and female backhoe ends connected together and with your tractor lines connected normally while you use your remotes.
