I'd like to know some more info about them. Has anyone on this bought one?

Haven't used one but judging by where its bolted on it looks like a diverter valve meaning the lift arms wont work while it is being used, or they will drop if carrying a heavy load and the seal in the lift cylinder is not in the best condition.

I havnt seen that exact one before but I do remember our local mechanic mounting two spool valves on the right mudguard of a 35 and they were probably better placed than that one for working a powerbox or something, have no idea of cost though. A very handy addition to a small tractor though no doubt!!

Dear MR
This is a great tool it takes the leaver out from under the seat I have a model where you have to reach under the seat can be a bind.
It also makes better usability of your machine.
Here is a Picture of the one I use http://www.soggers.ca/tractor.html it is 3/4 ways down the page it can be got here http://www.vapormatic.ie/hydraulic-parts.ashx#part_list
Also need to watch do you need double or single acting
Hope this helps Attie.

put a similar product on a ford 6600 years ago so i could work all the rams on the diet feeder- cheap and effective

i bought a 35x and want to run my log splitter of it. that valve would do my job cos i have a valve chest on it but what about a small tipping trailer or if i put a power box on it,it wouldnt work right because you have to switch the lever over and then pull lift up full so its constant pumping.any other way around this

Looking to do something similar to a David Brown to work a hydraulic toplink. Anyone do something similar? Any chance of a few pics to see the set up

No, I don't think so.

When is is bolted on and turned on, does the lift go down on a 200 series massey? If it does then its pretty much useless for a top-link, power box or bale splitter.

Dear Mr
Not to sure about 200 series just letting you know how I find this diverter on my 35, after all we are talking about a 30/40 year old tractor.
If your lift is in good condition the arms will stay where they were when you " diverted " the oil from them. Attie

We had something similar to what Attie referred to above for a Quicke loader on our 135 - I didnt find moving the lever under the seat too awkward to be honest.
The lift arms did stay up when you changed the selector, for a loader that was fine. For a hydralic top link, would you need to use both the lift arms, and top-link at the same time? Might be more awkward?

What is listed on donedeal I dont really get - there seems to be a selector, and then a seperate arm for controlling?
It seems expensive at 300 euro - does it allow you to use both the lift and valves without changing the selector I wonder? Is this possible?

I know Rossmore did a db 995 for a farmer I worked with many yrs ago, so it can be done, maybe give them a ring. You will need a spool pack, and somewhere to return the oil.
