Read articles →A shop-floor walkthrough of adding a Summit power-beyond kit and a maintained third-function switch to a John Deere 4052R that already had a WR Long kit installed, the real focus is solving the conflict between the two systems. It covers open-center hydraulic loop logic, custom hose crimping, and parallel switch wiring, and ends with a practical guide to ordering the correct Summit maintained switch versus a diverter switch. Best for 4052R owners tackling similar hydraulic add-ons.
An owner-operator hobbyist channel where the host works through real projects hands-on, framing itself as relatable experimentation rather than expert instruction.
Run a new single hose from the WR Long kit all the way to the rear to serve as the input to the power beyond, avoiding extra connections and leak points.
The diverter switch is a one way on or off switch, while the control valve section has the actual three way maintained switch needed to hold a function open.
Yes, wiring them in parallel works, but whichever switch is activated first takes control even if the other switch tries the opposite action.
