4310 Flex Link?

[fluffyone]

Does the 4310 have the flex link on the 3ph? I have a book but I do not see it listed any where, a photo would help also.

thanks

They are the same price up front, or added later. There are several easy hook up options:

<ul type="square"> [*]IMatch
[*]Telescopic Draft Links
[*]Pat's Easy Change
[*]A dolly setup (great in a shop)
[*]Get someone else to change stuff (my wife's favorite!)
[/list]

If you order the telescopic links, you get to keep the std. ones. I thought I'd really want them, but decided to try the regular ones. I haven't needed to upgrade, but I am just as likely to go to iMatch.

Now that looks great. you do not have to even get off your tractor except for the pto hook up correct? What kind of cost? and you have to have a hook up on each piece of equipment correct?

Thanks

Cost about $200

You don't have to have a part on each impliment if you are buying new ones. (New Deere stuff will note if it is iMatch compatible) Older attachments might need an adapter, or not work at all...

There are limitations to any of these, and what will work best for you, might not help the next person. A nice shop floor is the biggest help.

For non-IMatch attachments, I had some re-welding done to make them conform to my IMatch. Newer attachments are conforming to the SAE standard specs, and are more likely to fit the quick tach's that are now available.

I like the idea that to drop off my ballast box (and pick it up again), I don't have to get on and off the tractor. Same with my carry-all platform. Regardless, much improved over fighting the individual lift arms when un-attaching and attaching (see the thread under safety about kicking, beating, and hammering to remove lift arms) equipment. Worth every penny of the $200, and I use the top hook to bring logs out of the woods, either with chain or logging tongs.
