Aux Hydraulics on my 1428 Hydro

[Surgeon]

Can I put aux hydraulics on a 1428 Hydro? I have the 1500 series frontloader and don't want to take it off but I would love a hydraulic top link.

Yep, talk to your dealer, some parts are added/changed where the hydraulics are hooked up underneat the tractor. But be prepared, its not cheep, I have asked and I believe you are at $1K plus (dont remember if that was for dual or single outlets). But you get a nice factory lever in the factory location on the right side of the operators platform.

Thanks. I have not had a convenient dealer but apparently there is a new one just down the road so I will call and see what the damage is. I hate to think.

I added a set of rear hydraulics (2 actually) and another set to the front on my 1433V a couple of years back. It's not a factory set up but it has served me well so far. The thread where I did it is here:
