I use my tractor for moving boats and material handling and don't use full load on engine unless using for grading or snow removal. When engine was ready for regen I had to manually go into regen. A learning experience is all I can say...

Ok, had to pull manual out as not knowing what to expect... got through the first one... thinking another 2 times I should have it figured out lol. Now knowing what to expect I think things will go more smoothly in future. Once in regen it took about 10 minutes to complete. Apps 25 hrs for...

Got the funky cat 1/2 ram from the agristore, thinking 275.00 and the lines from tractor supply and thinking 45ish dollars. Not too many suppliers with the cat 1/2 for the larger L series. Have a grader blade, box blade, rake, hitch, and snowblower to use and the hydraulic top link will save a...

I had room for one more, but what I use the tractor for 2 is fine. I don't see using more than 2 in the future... if things change I can always use a relay switching system to add more remotes.

The wire tied to the cylinder is for giving power to trailers to release brakes for back up. We move a lot of trailers and many of them the brakes lock up in reverse if you don't have power to release them

Pretty easy install, waiting for the ram to get back in stock was rhe hard part lol. I am happy with a clean installation! 5460 tractor by the way...

Don't know how this got the passed inspection... latch on one side extremely hard to engage. The stand off for the handle was welded at a downward angle pushing the latch mechanism into the plate when trying to engage. Working on getting the pinned on frame replaced via warranty. Have to say...

Montague here... are you working with Pells?

Seen many pics of rusty hose clamp on loader control. Geese seems like they could come up with something better. Mile long hose clamp with steel screw. Replaced mine with all ss clamp. SAE 06 9/16, 3/8-7/8 and fits perfectly!

I have a hard time believing it is weaker, Id say its how they measure/rate the capacity. Just curious where are you located? Near detroit or north of muskegon? I was originally looking for a 6060 not too long ago and the dealer told me there was not one in the state. I settled for a 5460 that...

just reread your original post, I believe you were talking about 3rd valve in rear not a 3rd up front... anyway nice rig!

Congrats! you will get used to how it responds, actually I like a quicker response. Looks like you are still waiting on the 3rd function... Nice rig, its a beast! Have fun with it!

Here are a couple pics... the tractor feels a lot bigger than my 3240. Its going to be a big change for you from a b series.

Finished up the wiring... led lights, led amber flashing caution lights, and trailer harness to release electric trailer brakes. All working as wanted. Used misc relays i had laying around, ran 12 gage wire and fused at battery to posts under plastic panel to run fused circuits from. Plan on...

Good news, got my 5460 Wednesday
