After plowing some snow, I really saw the benefit of float on the tilt & am glad I got it. I also saw the value of hydraulic angling, which I didn't have, so I ordered one. That came in & I was finally prompted to do up the 3rd function handle I'd been slacking on.
Yes, it's bent like that intentionally, it was a bit of a pain to clamp it to weld up not being at a 90. The angle turned out the be a bit more than I needed to get the clearance over the top of the valve, but caused no problems.
It ends up getting as close to the seat as the joystick does locked in float, which doesn't cause any issues.
Of course after assembling the angle kit lastnight I found out Land Pride doesn't include QD's (not super suprising), so I need to head to the store on my way home tonight.
I also fiddled with the hoses a bit a few weeks ago. No additional fittings, but things seem to be working good enough. I still keep an eye on things when lifting the 3pt & nothing is binding. More flex on the hose than I'd like, but at this point I'm going to leave it as is & worry about it if something breaks.
I was rather disappointed to realize I'll need to get of my tractor to hook up the blade now with the angle hoses. I've gotten use to being able to hook up to everything without getting off thanks to the quick hitch & TNT kit. It is so convenient, no matter how crooked I drop an implement, I'm loving it.
