Hi,
I've gotten the OK from the "CFO" to purchase a top-n-tilt from Carter & Carter, I've talked w/ C & C, but have some questions and I'm hoping you folks that have a tnt can help me out.
I've done a TON of reading and every time I think I've got a grasp on things, I read something else and confuse myself again. And right now I can't get the search feature to work so I'm posting questions ya'll are probably sick to death of reading. Sorry. But when I do my install I promise to take pics and document the install for other noobs like me out there.
I've got an L3400 w/ an LA463 FEL. I understand my tractor has an open center system and the LA463 has a power beyond port. Still have to measure my top and side links though.
I'm going to purchase from C & C the top link, the side link and the valve/joystick assembly. From talking to them that means I'll have to source my hoses. I under stand I'll need a hose that goes from the FEL power beyond port and then a return line. As well as the hoses that go to the links themselves.
So, my questions:
- Is the power beyond port on the FEL "open"? That is, do I just attach the hose, like no T fitting or anything is required?
- Same type question for the return line. Isn't there a return line already in place for the FEL? Do I need to T this return line into the FEL return line?
- How/where did you route your hoses if you have a similar set up?
- How much are you lovin' your tnt? I maintain my 2200' driveway and can't wait to stop getting off, on, off, on, off, on my tractor.
- If you have some minutes, could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post some pictures of what you've got for a set up.
- Any other pointers or tips or advice you can supply would be greatly appreciated.
Again, I apologize for beating this subject to death, but I can't get the search function to work.
Thank you,
