Dave, This is what I was needing , Thanks. I wasn't sure of what type fittings I should ask for and now I do. I had planned on mounting the diverter as close as possible to the third function so that I don't have to reroute the front hoses and I can keep the two hoses between the two valves as...

I ordered the diverter valve, the rear hydraulic link, and a hose set from the rear cylinder to the rear remote hookup. Is there a kit for the hose set from the diverter valve to the rear remote? And does it include a mounting hardware for the rear remote? Or will I need to have a hydraulic...

I am in the process of adding a rear remote using my front third function . I have a diverter valve coming this week. I will need a set of hoses to connect from the diverter valve to the third function valve and another set of hoses to run to the rear. What did you use for these two sets? Does...

I have a third function on my L4701 FEL that I use for my grapple. I want to add a rear remote and use the same activation buttons . I will not be using the front function at the same time as the rear remote. Is there a kit availabe that would allow me to flip a switch and have the hydraulic'...

I have a L4701 with the quick disconnect Skid Steer type FEL. This weekend when I was using the grapple to clear some brush , a stick came up from the bottom and pushed my release lever upward causing one side to unmount and the grapple was dangling from only one side. This happened three times...

With the lift capacity of the LA765 being 1686# at the pin, will 900 be enough or too much? I just want to make sure I have the right balance. And I know I will NOT be loading it at full capacity and at full height all the time. Thanks Rick

Dave, So you are suggesting a box 2 foot wide, between the lift arms, 3 foot from front to back and 1 foot tall? Or is it 3 foot tall and 1 foot from front to rear?

I am waiting for the delivery of my L4701 with FEL next week. The dealer is going to fill the rear tires. I will be using a grapple as well. Do I still need to use a ballest barrel or will the filled tires be enough? If I do need the additional ballest I was going to build it like others...

Sounds good. I will take another look at it. So for the L4701 I would need the larger one? Thanks Rick

I looked at the Tuff Top online and I seen a couple of reviews of people saying it had cracked or that it was heavy and hard to remove quickly. I want to be able to remove it quickly when I need to without another person helping me. With that said, can the Tuff Top be removed by one person...

I will be getting my new L4701 in a week and a half. I want to order Rhinohide canopy now. Their website said it will fit most L modules. It fits up to a 46 inch width. Can some one please tell me what the width is on their L4701 ROPS? Also what is the tubing dimensions? Thanks Rick

While I wait for the dealer to get a gear drive L4701 in stock, I have been checking out all if the YT video from Messicks. (Neil). Since I am getting a grapple from Construction Attachments, I watched a video Neil posted about the pressures that can be pushed back through the hydro lines by...

All great information. Since no one commented on the clutches, I assume there is no none problem with the clutch being under sized for the L4701. I searched the internet and I have not been able to find anyone complaining about the clutch failing because they were using a FEL as the dealer...

I would say 50/50 bush hog, grapple clean up work. And some box blade work on gravel drive way. I currently own a 1950 Ferguson that I have had for 20 plus years so I understand about using a clutch. I want the gear drive because I don't want to give up HP to the HST system. But if the dealer...

:whistle: First of all thank you for your response. Now I'm really confused. I have read @ several places including Kubotas site that the selling point of the shuttle shift is that you do not need to press the clutch to change from forward to reverse. What am I missing?
