Tractor Basics - Understanding Tractor Remotes 

Awesome. Congrats!! It is super useful. I use mine all of the time.

he said if I keep the tractor level and keep oil at full mark and avoid bottoming out and stopping automatic stop when cylinder retracts I should be fine. What is your advice?

Yes. That is a risk. The fluid is going through your rear remotes any time your tractor is running so you’re not really generating any extra heat just because you hook up a splitter. The heat will come with the use, and specifically, working it hard. If the splitter is straining to split a piece or if you let it dead head too much you’ll increase heat. I’d buy a cheap laser thermometer and keep it with you. Shoot the valve blocks on a day when you’re using the tractor hard and get an idea for the baseline temp. Then, when you’re using the splitter, shoot the valve on the splitter every so often and see what the temps are. I’ll look up the factory temp specs and let you know.

Thank you!!

Dan, thank you so much! No, I do not have the same experience. Do you have the LA555 loader or LA805 loader? I find the LA805 loader pretty impressive and am surprised by what I can do with a tractor of this size.

Yes. There is another video with the rear remote install. Adding Rear Remotes To Kubota L3560 - #49 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b3p2w7IP_oA.html

Thank you!!

Good deal. What will you be using your remotes with?

@@JaredsShop grapple and post hole digger

@@FriendlyCleaningKC You’ll be running your grapple off your third function won’t you?

@@JaredsShop yes

Thanks! I don’t always need it but it’s nice when I need to adjust on the fly. There’s many times the tractor is angled and I need to grade something level, or vice versa. I use it a lot on driveways when cutting crowns.

I’ve been stewing over that myself but haven’t decided on what I want to do. I’ve thought about mounting something out back but if I do that I’ll have to remove it when I use the backhoe. I’m guessing I’ll probably end up with something on the loader mount somewhere. With that said, I don’t have many things I feel the need to carry with me. What is it you want to keep in your toolbox?

@@JaredsShop I always carry extra Clevis pins, top link pins and cat1-cat 2 bushings as my 6060 has cat 2 links. Right now I have everything in a Milwaukee tool bag that came with a drill stuffed behind the seat till I figure a solution. I don’t have a backhoe so I’ll mount something out back. Just haven’t honed in on a oem looking solution yet

@@braxtonwiggins6576 I think I saved a post by someone who mentioned a toolbox that I like the looks of. I’m thinking it was rural king but don’t quote me. I’ll see what I can find. I use a quick hitch so I carry extra pins or bushing. I’ve thought some basic tools could be nice. On our farm tractors they were always mounted up front or on the side frame.

I’ll have to look up and see what is offered for your tractor. I think it’d be rare to not offer a float option. It’s more common to offer a float and not a detent power option. Detent flow is rare because the constant flow of fluid can increase heat on the tractor.

I see in the brochure that only two styles are offered. If you push on your current one all the way in either direction, will it lock into place?

@@JaredsShop IDK if thats the same as the factory rear remote I have will run until the lever is manually put back to center. I thought the Spring style they said I can leave the lever where ever I want and it will just stay and the Hydraulics stop. Is that sound correct ??

@@BuzzJones Make sure you’re not confusing the 3pt lever with the rear remotes. The 3pt should be a lever that you move to a place and it stays there. The rear remotes are like your loader joystick, when you lift or lower, it comes back to center when you’re done. If the lever stayed there then fluid would continue to flow. When you push your loader all the way forward to go down, do you feel a place where it kinda “snaps” into place? That’s what a float valve feels like.

@@JaredsShop Yes I am familiar with all that though my one rear remote is a Detent style I have hooked to a Top Link, and it stays on until you move the lever to Neutral. I got it figured out with a Dealer, I am getting a second Rear Remote, a SPRING style this time, so it will do what you said. Kioti said the DK10SE can not be fitted with a Detent Float Style, only the NX & RX has that. Thanks
