W. Canada | They make those Lendahand things. Should be easy to make yourself.
I wonder how that could be the issue though. We made a small cover that goes over the Controller and then covers the solenoids.
We had two go bad this spring. We have a very good dealer who got us going. Our last resort was to run 2 functions off of 1 remote by splitting the flow. Not a cheap repair given the dealer comes from 2h away and these things are not cheap. And super rare at the moment. Dealer phoned another customer with 6 remotes and he was so nice to give us 1.
We have thought about adding 2 mechanical remotes by splicing in front of the valve stack. Lots of ideas. Wish we had more remotes. This is really the achilles heal of an otherwise excellent tractor.
I have also thought about manually actuating them. Or bypassing the controller with a homemade one.
It really cannot be too hard. The only issue is programming them to the tractor. I think they use the EDT to measure flow and then learn the range of the solenoid so it corresponds to the number in your c1000. There are standard cal values but each remote is a little different, so they do vary.
But yes. Agco should fix this. And they should be $50 given the small amount of tech in them.
Also, if you are going through as much as you say, it is probably worth your time to do some more digging on why this could be happening. Usually ours last a couple years at least.
