Aftermarket knuckle boom remote

[Kottonwood]

Hey guys,
It has been a while since I posted on the forum.... even forgot my old user name.

Anyways, I just got a new knuckle boom. It is an IMT with about 65' of reach. I am very happy with the crane for my purposes but I want a remote.

I talked to IMT and it's quite an expensive retrofit to do it with all their parts. However, I remember a year or so ago when I got my other knuckle boom I had found online aftermarket remote kits that you actually just attach to the valve levers without replacing the whole valve body (never ended up buying one). If my memory serves me correctly they were only about 3500 bucks. Has anyone had any experience with this? Know where to find a unit like that?

Thanks!
