It’s here!

Ordered a couple inline restrictors from England. At this point I sort of wish the cylinder was US made, but it is what it is and BSP threads are all I have to work with. These are .031” orifice restrictors That I will install near the QD couplings. I thought about an adjustable restrictor, but read they can be tough to tune to such a small orifice, and they are quite large. That is a problem when having such limited space already on the back end. These should slow down the cylinder, eliminate chatter and be very compact

Thought you might like to see this...the 'new' 5520. It has the TYM red.

Beautiful. I want.

Beautiful. I want.

It was cool to see both types side by side. If you zoom, you can see they still have both old and new on the lot.

Which one are you picking?

 

[Torvy]

I ordered a T574H.

Now I have to figure out how to get it to my property. I can have a 3rd party they coordinate with do it for about $240. I might be able to rent a car hauler for about $85. Truck can tow 9900lbs. Tractor is right about 5000, a car hauler will be what, 2400? Box blade and forks are about 400 each. Total about 8200.

Drive it!

Drive it!

It's 80 miles away.

 

[PreacherM]

Well that might be a stretch then. $240 delivery doesnt sound too bad considering you don't have a trailer. Unless you're going to make the trip anyhow.
Do you have straps or chains if hauling it yourself?

 

[Torvy]

I should have a trailer soon...should already have it. My trailer is not for the tractor, though. As it is if I loaded the tires or had a cutter or tiller attached, I would exceed my truck ability. Short answer is yes, I have ratchet straps and chains.

That deep red is really nice; I didn't notice the contrast until seeing them side by side.

Hoping to get the hydraulic restrictors placed in the top link lines this weekend… maybe even get the QH on

Are we to expect pictures and maybe a brief description of the installation?

Yessir. I’ll need to grab a few copper crush washers to complete the job. Maybe I can get the daughter to take a before and after video as well of the movement/speed

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Well I got the hydraulic restrictors installed!!! Amazing performance now. No more jerky action and choppy extension.

I installed a couple 1/2" BSP restrictors with .03125 orifices, new Dowty sealing washers and 1/2" BSP couplers. Such a clean install!

Also got the quick hitch on today!

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

I can’t post the video here, bummer. It is so smooth and controlled even with the remote lever full deflection

 

[2manyrocks]

Nothing quite like a new, clean tractor.

BE- UTE-I-FUL!!! I am not sure how I missed this but you are going to LOVE that Branson/TYM, whatever! I have a much less capable machine and it has done everything I have asked of it.
