I already have Bill. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif When disconnecting the restraining strap that holds the hydraulic top link of the TopnTilt in place I accidently left that strap dangling. See the attachment. You can't see it too well in this picture but on top of that top cylinder there is a steel strap that secures the cylinder in an upward position and is attached to a mounting bracket on the machine. When I hitched up my attachments to test out the TopnTilt hydraulics, this strap accidently got wedged against the mounting bracket and bent like a pretzel into a Mobius strip formation. This tells you something about the power and force of these hydraulics. I will try to straighten the strap out or replace it if I have to.

Lesson Learned: When you remove this restraining strap to lower your top hydraulic cylinder to hitch up one of your implements, make sure you remove this restraining strap altogether and store away in your left fender storage box or secure the strap against the cylinder.

I promised you guys more pictures including shots of the eMatch switches and levers and Top and Tilt action. First one up though is a close-up of the BuckTop canopy. This is a real nice canopy....very well made.

Now, the FEL and SCV hydraulic controls. FEL joystick on top...also note eHydro forward and reverse pedals on the floor. Below the joystick is the SCV third function control lever that controls the clam shell or 'dump' function on the 4in1 bucket. Next to this lever on the right is the diverter valve switch that diverts hydraulic power to the rear 4th and 5th SCVs that operates the Top and Tilt. At the bottom is the rockshaft control lever that in this pic shows the 3PH in a lowered position.

Now, the eMatch right fender panel controls. On top is the cruise control switch. Bottom, first on left is 4WD switch, directly to right of this is the MotionMatch switch, next to this is an indicator lamp (this will light up if there is a short in any of the electrical functions on the tractor. For example, step on eHydro's forward and reverse pedals at same time and tractor will not move and this light will come on). Last on the right is the rear PTO knob.

MX6 with side link extended.

Now, LR1172 landscape rake with top and side links contracted. Here, pitch is shallow and rake level....good for light raking on even terrain.

LR1172 landscape rake with both top and side links extended. Pitch is steep and rake angled to accommodate rough and uneven terrain.
