Connecting Tree spade Hydraulics to Kubota

[Fl Palms]

Hey Guys I have a M7040 Kubota Grand Cab with Auxiliary hookup
for a Root grapple in the front, switches on the loader control, with on/off switch. Also rear Hydraulics in rear controlled by a Lever in the Cab.
My issue is how to connect the Tree Spade to the Tractor when it has it's own set of remote switches.
If I connect to the Grapple lines I would have to hold the open or close switch
in the direction I need the spades to go? Do I need a direct connection to the hydraulics?

Unclear what you mean by "remote switches", can you post pics or a link to the spade your looking at?


If it has it's own set of valves as I think you mean, then you can hook it up like a backhoe using a Power Beyond loop.


Welcome to OTT.

Yes, It has its own control.
Here are the photo's.

Thanks for the help

This is a Care Tree 36" TS

OK,
So yes it needs to be hooked up just like a backhoe would be with Power Beyond. Unsure if Kubota has a kit for this, but I would start there.

Thanks for the Info. I will look into it.

Just for any ones info on this subject.
I spoke to the dealer Mech. for Kubota and, he said, I can connect
directly into either the front Grapple remote or the rear remotes on the M7040.
I just need to hold down one of the momentary on/off switches that control the grapple or hold the lever forward or back for the rear remote.
This allowed me to use the Tree Spade controls separately. I will be adding an additional Rear remote when I use the 3P for the TS in the future, this way I can tilt the TS and move without dragging it along.
Now I just need to adjust the Relief valve, my FEL I not what it used to be.

Yes...you can do it that way but I thought you where asking how to hook it up so you didn't have to do that-or loose operation of the loader that's why I suggested the PB hookup.

Oh well, I hope it all works out for you.
