Box blade and hydraulic top link on X739?

[Gittyup]

The brackets can stay on the tractor when using the 3pt. But when you need to use the click n go brackets the 3pt arms and top link need to come off.

I think some attachments (like weight bracket) on the clickngo can be used without removing the lower links. I have the clickngo, but doubt I'll ever use it. 3PH is so much more versatile, even if further behind the tractor. I knew this going in, but the clickngo brackets are pretty cheap and it's always better to have and not need than to need and not have.

I've got the rear click n go weight bracket on order (along with the 54" front blade and front quick hitch) so I guess I'll find out in a few weeks. I just assumed the 3pt side links would be in the way when using the weight bracket and the weights.

Looks real nice and neat. I'm guessing just outside the lower links? I wanted that bracket (only the bracket) but couldn't seem get any help just buying it. Sometimes JD parts at my local dealer leave a lot to be desired. They didn't even know what I was talking about. And the guys where you bought weren't much help either: shooed me off to "my dealer"; wouldn't even give me a part number. I guess if I didn't want the whole kit they didn't want to deal with me.

Yes, outside of the lower links.

I'm guessing that outlet bracket is a custom made non JD part. It came in a sealed plastic bag but didn't have a part number on it.

The wire loop hose hangers are JD.

I just went with the omnihitch with integral weigh bracket. Seemed to be more versatile. Love that thing: holds 8 weights and trailer hitch keeps cart far from tractor fenders (you have to be careful with tight turns and trailer with AWS). Tow hooks/eyes are convenient, and I got the basket too, which can carry a lot. This stays on the tractor all the time when not running something else.

Aux Hydraulics told me I could get the bracket from JD, but wouldn't give me a JD part number and my dealer knew nothing....A lot of people in this business don't know enough is what I think.

Thats why I said at first I thought the kit was a bit pricey. I priced all the parts and pieces except the bulkhead bracket. I would have had $100+ in parts, just estimating the hose lengths, no mounting bracket, and then another 30-40 in shipping. I don't begrudge a man a profit, have my own business and always try to support the backbone of this country the entrepreneur, I just like to know and understand the cost of things. Then I decide if I'm getting a suitable value. Aux-Hyd was very responsive to my inquiries and I determined that the bracket, the tried and tested hose lengths, etc were worth the value being paid. I also purchased his heavy duty Pintle Valve Lockout. Once again good value and good knowledgeable responsive service.

Wow not sure how I missed the OMNI Mfg LLC. Looks like just what the doctor ordered. Have also looked at the Heavy Hitch brand. Thanks for the recommendation.

I couldn't use the kit, as it is 3/8" and I needed 1/2". Sometimes you help a customer out for future business. He could have sold me the bracket for twice what it cost him; I would've paid it. The way Aux-Hyd treated me, I'll likely try to buy elsewhere.

Both hitches are nice. I likes the vertical receiver on the Omni., and the basket is great. Excellent service, by the way.

Eric102, I installed my rear ports over the weekend. I could not install the Wire #2 due to my 60D deck riding higher in the retracted position. Then I too found the #3 was too close to the tire. I mounted wire #2 to the #8 screw attaching the Rear Deck to the Foot board. This gave great clearance from the tire. I then used a wire tie to pull the hoses high and tight to the frame right above the axle.

When you bent the wire did you heat and bend or just man-handle it?

Other than that I am pleased. The hose assemblies are well made. The bulkhead mount is nicely made and fit well.

I have been going back and forth with Brian regarding the TL hose length. He is ready to ship once I get him that final information. I have been traveling for the last three weeks and unable to spend much time at the farm.
