Loader electrical 3rd service

[Paul farrier]

Hi first post on forum
Fitting electrical be 3rd service to loader do I need to fit a relay to protect switch In The joystick or not
Thanks Paul

where are you taking power from ? battery or threw igniton ? as far as im aware a relay wont protect switch on joystick but i could be wrong

 

[Paul farrier]

Not sure what power the 3rd service would take
Just thinking that if it's a fair bit ,fit a relay like you would for lights

You'll need a relay if the service you're switching uses more current than the joystick switch rating. Generally controling a service like a spool valve is okay for a microswitch but anything more beefy like Paul farriers lights should be protected by a relay.

Fitted a MX loader to a fendt 718...using the little button on the joystick...it uses a relay...

I fitted an Mx loader to a tractor last year the way I was told to do it at the time was take main power to relay from starter then a live from the ignition so it can’t use power and saves the switch.

personally, id fit a "flywheel diode" as well.
This will kill the peak voltages generated when you switch it off and the magnetic field collapses, turning itself into a micro generator.

I was going to say fit a relay with in built diode.
