706 hydralics.

Seems I have some free time before spring. So what better to do than wrench on my old tractor.

What I am doing right now is fabricating a 3pt hitch for my draw bar 706. Nothing fancy, just some thing to be able to pick up another bale or use the brush hog with it.
I will post a few photos of the hitch when I get a worker made.

Problem is the hydralics. I have 2 remotes and both are used with the loader. I can use a set of rear remotes when I unhook the lines that goes to the front of the loader. That way I can still raise the loader and use the rear remotes. This worked fine wile baling. Just cant adjust the bucket or bale fork what ever I have on it.

Looking for a few ideas. Can extra remotes be added? or how about some kind of valve set up to turn on sections?

I think the easiest way is to just add an electric-over-hydraulic multiplier to one of the hydraulic remotes.

I had to add this one to my tractor to get a third function and it really works slick.

Other options would be adding an additional factory remote, using a PTO pump,reseviour and control to run your loader or installing the factory 3-point hitch setup.

'Spose after the dust all settled, I've got close to $500 in the thing counting all the O-ring fittings, quick-disconnects/couplers and hoses.

You might be able to plumb in a less expensive spool valve if your 706 is old enough.

Take a look at the stack of valves under the seat. If there are two identical valve bodies and a cover plate, you can replace that cover plate with a "power beyond" cover plate and plumb in as many open center spool valves as you want.
