Gordon. I have to ask, what are all the logs for?

I hope it didn't sound like I don't like the diverter valve systems and kits now available. I think they are great. It is just that it was easier and much cheaper to do what I did plus IMO I got increased functionality.

:) I do some small scale logging on my place. I sell to a local sawmill. You could call it my hobby or mental and physical therapy. It also helps me justify buying new equipment :D :D

As they say "The only dumb question is the one you don't ask".
A Top and Tilt is tractor speak for a hydraulic top link and a hydraulic side link. In other words you replace your top link ( TOP ) with a hydraulic cylinder so you can adjust it on the fly as you work. If you have a box blade or grader you know how handy this would be. You also replace one of your side links (TILT ) with a hydraulic cylinder. This allows you to change or adjust the tilt angle of your impliment as you work. Again, very handy for rear blade work where you are trying to maintain a specific road contour such as a crown.
Hope this simple explanation helps a little. When I receive mine from Fit Rite Hydraulics I will post some pictures.
