Default Re: Need help selecting aux. hydraulics- new TC 35

iski3d

I also added the front hydraulics using a diverter valve. So far it works great and was quite easy to accomplish. In fact I would venture to say it may have been less expensive than a rear remote if you do it your self. And I had my Grapple on the rear remote before this. I like this setup much better.
Pineridge did his also and here is the link for the whole explanation of how. http://www.pineridge7.com/MJE/grapple_hydraulics.htm

When I did mine on the TN I also moved the location of the FEL quick connects. I did not like the setup used by NH in that lines hung down under the tractor. And the quick connects were a bear to get to and was an overall bad design. I didn't like getting down under the tractor to disconnect the lines for the FEL.(Lazy?) So my job was a bit more complex moving the lines and Q connects up to the diverter. In fact while I am on the subject some other TN owners might find useful. I was able to add a lever on the back of the tractor to operate the 3 PT hydraulics. With a cab tractor it is a pain to hook up 3 PT getting in and out of the cab to adjust up and down. I also was able to put a lever on a rear remote outside so that I could extend and retract the hydraulic top link (for TNT) I only have the top link. If any body needs info on this let me know.

If you have any mechanical ability at all and you want to try to tackle this yourself I am sure we could talk you through it

The wiring looks complicated but is no more than lets say a car stereo without the correct plug. one thing I would change from Pineridge is go with a momentary switch for activation. This would eliminate the LED and use a simpler relay.

The hardest part was sourcing some of the parts. But in the end we just needed to find some new vendors and they were all local. Let me know if you need info. Good luck

Hey Pineridge were are you? This is your job.! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
