As I approach this tractor buying decision (really guys, I am eventually going to do this) the issue of the top-n-tilt needs to be addressed. Deere sells one with a retail list of about $830. It requires the electric diverter kid to provide two rear remotes. That's about a $1200 item, so we're talking a couple thousand dollars.
I'm aware that CCM makes a top-n-tilt. It looks like the top link is $185. I don't see the price of the side link on their website, but I'm assume that the total is a fair bit less than $830. Also, it looks like the CCM device has a cat I/II ball on the implement end (at least for the top link, don't know about the bottom).
My questions:
Anybody have any experience with these two devices and what are your impressions of the two?
Does the CCM device still require the two rear remotes, thus requiring the electric diverter kit? I'm assuming it does.
Do you recommend getting the third remote if you're going to occupy the first two with the top-n-tilt?
Thanks as always for your abundant wisdom.
