Hi Guys First post from new owner so... I have a L3600 gst with a bradco 511 hoe. First thing I found odd was the routing of the hydraulics? two lines come from the hoe. One goes to the gray junction with other hoses and connects to it via a fitting in line with another hose coming from the front loader. near the hydro filter under your rt foot. I think this is a return? then the other hose goes over the rear axial under the tractor and up to the valve body for the front loader? This seems odd to me. Also on the tractor from previous owner ( I do not know him as unit was purchased from dealer) he had an accessory valve that has 3 pairs of hydrolic m/f quick disconnects pointing rearward to the back and rt of the seat. I have corresponding levers to use said implements next to the seat on top of that valve body. My question is. Should the Hoe be connected under the seat or directly to the tractors hydraulics in a better place than the front loader? and if I am not going to use this accessory valving would it have some value to any one here? The dealer said it is a pricey option. The hoe works but it seems it could be plumbed better with out so much hose. The pressure hose from the FL to the hoe has 2 quick DC AND a union just past the gray junction near the filter. That is what made me think it is a bit of a Gerry rig. What do you all think?
This is a pic of the girl. I got her with 500 hrs on it but the hoe looked like it didn't even have 10 hours. Paint was still on the bucket.
