Please forgive my rank ignorance. Before I bought my farm, you could fit every tool I ever owned into a lady’s shoe box and still have room for a sandwich in there. I have since expanded my tool collection and mechanical knowledge substantially, but I still have some gaping holes.
Back when I purchased my Deere 990 tractor twenty years ago, I was advised to have the dealer install rear remote Selective Control Valves because it was far better to have it as part of my negotiated deal than it was for me to have to install them at a later date.
There are four of these things mounted at the back of my tractor, and I have never used them. My hydraulic system has functioned from day one for operating my front end loader, and, I suppose, the rock shaft.
I’m now in a position where I have acquired an implement (Land Pride 606NT drill, sitting at the dealer, I haven’t taken delivery yet) which requires attachment to these remotes so that the implement may be raised and lowered.
I’ve been told there must be some sort of “switch” on my hydraulic lines which can be utilized so that my rear remotes can become engaged so that I can raise and lower a rear implement – using, I presume, either the same joystick I utilize for operating my FEL or the rock shaft lever which raises/lowers the lift arms, I honestly don’t know.
I have a hard time conceptualizing a lot of this - assuming I were to switch the hydraulics to direct the fluid flow to the rear remotes, would that make my FEL simultaneously inoperative? In any case, I’ve followed the hydraulic hoses and cannot seem to find a “switch” which could re-direct flow to those rear remotes.
Can anyone shed some light on this subject so that when this implement arrives, I can hook it up to raise and lower it so that I can not only operate it some day soon, but also, and more immediately, back it into my barn on the delivery date?
Thanks in advance for educating me on this.
