Does anyone else have both rear remotes (with float valve) and a BH77 backhoe? I installed both on my B3030 last weekend and ran into a bit of an issue. It seems that (according to the installation instructions) the BH4975B mounting kit wants you to install the Backhoe hydraulic feed line receptacle in exactly the same space that the float valve for the rear remote occupies.

I looked on the forum to see if I was doing something wrong, but couldn't find anything that suggested anyone else had this issue.

It wasn't a terrible problem to solve, as I just made a new bracket & relocated the backhoe feed. I'm just curious as to whether or not anyone else has had this issue and if there was a factory solution.

In the picture, you can see the bracket I made using the original bolts on the top of the backhoe subframe. Along the same sightline but farther forward, you can see the float valve in the same spot that the backhoe feed line is supposed to be.

I do not have any experience with this kit.
I want to add a rear remote to my B3030 with loader and BH77.
I will not need the rear remote to be active when using the backhoe.
I have considered using the hoses that power the backhoe to be connected to a separate directional control valve.
Are there any opinions about doing this???

You can easily have all the valves work by adding one more hose.

The current power in hose to the backhoe moves to the power in on the rear remote. Then a hose connects between the power beyond fitting in the new valve to the power in on the backhoe valve. The backhoe out line remains as is.

Then you need a tank return line on the new valve (so that would be another new hose).

When you remove the backhoe the power in must still be looped with the out hose same as the current situation.

Some newer tractors have internal routing and OEM valves that connect to those internal routes. I have no idea what your tractor has so described it as old school external hoses.

Thats how the factory does it on the standard L. Just use the backhoe supply to feed the new remote and use the PB on the remote to feed the backhoe. Everything stays connected full time and operates together.
