Anyone done this mod on they're tractor? Or maybe your tractor came with this type of control.
I recently added a electric chute rotator set up on my rear mount snowblower. For now I am using the rocker switch handle that came with the 1200# winch. It works but it is chintsy & cumbersome. I have seen others install a nice 4 way joystick to control the chute rotator & chute deflector. I have two problems with this idea.
1. I really don't have great place to mount a joystick where it won't be in the way or get trashed in the Summer.
2. Usually whenever I need to drop my blower to make another run, that is when I need to rotate the chute also so my hand is already right there.
I was thinking of hacking off the handle that is there, welding on a piece of pipe, & installing something like this>
Industrial Control Handle - 8701-RB Handy-Grip
Then in th efuture maybe I could use it to control other things like a tilt & tip setup.
