That makes sense. Bigger tractors could likely more easily damage the bucket.

I have the light material bucket on my LA535. There isn’t a single thing that I have tried to do, that it doesn’t do. It was recommended by the dealer. It has a bunch of extra space and I have had it filled to the top with everything from #2 stone for driveway, crush/run, top soil, fill dirt...

I wanted to update folks on this. I ordered 1 rear remote for my LX on Friday from my dealer, and it came in today (following Thursday). Less than a week turnaround time for rear remotes. Seeing other threads it seems folks have been waiting on rear remotes for months, so I was surprised it came...

I’d love to do it this way. Did you fabricate your own mounting bracket? If not, where did you get it?

Yes - that was the plan. I think maybe I should go shorter to your point

Thanks. This was the idea I was favoring most. Making 3ft hoses with 1/4 at one end and 1/2 on the other.

This is a great video. I've asked him and the company he mentioned for the list of parts used so that I can order the same.

eBay is hit or miss. https://www.ebay.com/itm/404020101479?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cwx9f1msrrq&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hoober might have something for you. Though their inventory status may be off. This is the 1st lever kit. https://www.hoober.com/kub-l8396-rear-remote-base-kit-with-lever

Thanks that makes sense. This LX was my first tractor, and I wish I had ordered more things up front instead of installing them later (3rd function, rear remotes, canopy, etc.)

Thanks for the picture. This is helpful. I do plan to use 1/4" where I can. But I also rent a fertilizer spreader in the fall which has 1/2" connectors, and didn't want to alter the rented spreader, so was thinking a hose with 1/4" on one side and 1/2" on the other. For you specifically, did...

Good idea. I think I was trying to make this more complicated than it was.

Hi all, I’m adding a rear remote to my LX2610SU.My understanding is that the OEM rear remotes for the ROPS units have 1/4” connections. What is the easiest way to convert them to 1/2” standard connections? I would think a 12-24” hose where one side has 1/4” and the other side has 1/2” would be...

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm going to try to rotate the 3rd function switches first. If that doesn't help, then I'll add a disable switch.

Yup! That was definitely it. I was hitting the 3rd function and not feeling it because I had gloves on. Hasn't happened since I've been paying more attention. Thanks again all.
