need some pictures
This tractor only has one hole for the top link can't be adjusted. Top link is removed with phd on. I think the area between where the yoke attaches to the boom and where the ball end is seems to be a long distance. The boom has only one attachment point for the yoke. Mark
There is your problem, the boom on your PHD has only one hole. Most PHDs that I've seen have several holes to mount the yoke (or at least two). The illustration below shows your problem. By the time your yoke is attached to the lower arms, it is so angled up that it is jamming into the boom. If you dig with it and the boom comes down, the angle would get slightly less, but if you can't raise the PHD out of the ground, it is useless. You need a PHD with several yoke mounting points like the illustration shows.
EDIT: I didn't draw the PTO shaft because that would just confuse the simple illustration.
I agree with the picture given, the boom needs more the one position hole. Glen Danuser has told me that he wiil send another mounting plate that I can have welded on if that will help. I'm concerned that if I mount a new attachment point that it may raise the boom too high for my lift space. I attempted to move the power head and boom upward to no avail. The NH in the Danuser picture is a larger CUT then the 1030. I'm going to pick up a set of Pat's Easy Change ends this Saturday from a member here on the board. I hope this moves the unit far enough back to accept the Danuser G20/40. I do appreciate all the responses from the board members and I will update as soon as I can. Thanks guys, Mark
I get the feeling that your boom attach point was probably mis-assembled when it was built! Does your dealer have another 20/40 unit avaiable? you might measure the location of the attach point on it and compare that to the measurement on your unit. These things are seigned for a standard 3 pt hitch and they should fit if they are built to the correct design.
Jerry ,I believe OP bought 20/40 Danuser used w/2 augers for $250.
Which is a great deal IMHO.
That's not a great deal. That's LARCENY!!!:laughing:
