Breakaway Coupling Bracket for Rear Remote

[je1279]

Found this on eBay and wanted to share with everyone. Along with an extra set of hoses running to an existing 3rd function valve, this seems to be an inexpensive way to add a rear remote for a hydraulic top link, snowblower chute control, etc. for folks who do not already have one.

@i7win7 I know but I could never think of an easy way to mount those to the rear cross brace. The bracket style looks like it can be mounted both easily and securely.

If you have to buy the bulkhead connectors anyways, this is not a bad deal (at least compared to Canuck prices!) the bulkhead fittings are $60 a piece at a supply store... plus 20 for the clamp bracket.
ive been wanting to make my 3rd function this style for ease of connection (just push together rather than 2 handed pulling a collar back) as 2 fittings close together can be awkward while bent over into the Loader frame to reach. Thank you for sharing the link!

Just did the math and after adding the hoses, fittings, protective sleeve, quick disconnects and dust caps, the total to add a rear remote option to a LX2610 using the existing 3rd function valve was ~$165 US. Seems like a good deal to me for the added functionality. I also ordered a hydraulic top link and hoses from Tractor Supply for $~275 US. Not cheap by any means, but it was the least expensive option I could find for adding a hydraulic top link to my setup.
