MF 1835E Compact Tractor Hydraulic?

I just bought a new 1835E, & one of the items it does not have is rear remotes.
I asked the dealer to add a set as long as the valves kick back to neutral.
Dealer called me today, & said the valve cost $1100, & wont do that.

Who if anybody makes an old style valve, that You can pull/push the lever, & forget
about? It just kills me that 40, 50 60 year old technology which is better, cant be
had today on new equipment! My John Deere 630 is way better in hydraulics in every way!

That little tractor has more pressure and flow than your old Deere 630 ever thought of having. All its missing is one minor convenience feature, so you have to hold the handle to raise and lower.

These tractors have closed-center hydraulic systems on them with their own idiosyncrasies. Without having intimate knowledge of the specific hydraulic system on that specific tractor, trying to make something aftermarket work is pretty much impossible. It would be a cobbled-up mess for sure.

By the way it is probably a safety feature not having the detent on a tractor like this. Typical owners are not farmers, and if the detent doesn't kick out like it should (which it usually doesn't in my experience) they may not notice until the hydraulic pump burns up.

Its an E model, so they are stripped down to offer a lower priced competitive market. An M series, with cab comes with one (1) rear remote. The valve you are looking into is not just
the valve. Comes with the control lever, hoses, couplers and bracket to mount said coupler. It will also have the longer bolts and hardware to mount the valve in between the the cover you
need to remove and housing. Its a stackable valve, so if you want to add another you can.
By the way, JD is no better. On the 5000 series, if you wanted to add another valve, say 2 to 3, you had buy the 3, and then throw your 2 valve away. I see on the 5R series they finally went to
stackable. On e series JD compact utility, on the 3 point lift linkage, they don't give you that float option anymore, so if your using say a 3 point rear blade for plowing snow, plan
on digging into the blacktop when you angle it. On most JD compact, to get a remote, maybe 1 will maybe be cable, or maybe it will be an electric switch, and then for multiple you just get more
switches. All about competing to get to the bottom. Why did JD quit putting rack & pinion on their tractors? Years ago they all had it, and its slicker than heck. But now, you can only
get as an option, on the more expensive lines, but nothing offered for the E or M 5000 series as well as some 6000 series.
