REAR REMOTE EXTENSION

[flINTLOCK]

I run my hydraulic toplink from the rear remote. I would need 6 foot long arms to reach the control lever while keeping the HTL positioned accurately. I'm sure this is a safety issue, but it creates a big PIA. I was planning to put together a PVC handle with T's at each end. I'm 1.5 hrs away from my tractor and need to know what diameter PVC will fit over the control lever.
Any help would be appreciated.

flINTLOCK,

1 1/4 sch 40 fits over with a tight fit and follows the forward lean of the remote handles (15-25 degree forward lean). 1 1/2 sch 40 fits more loosely, but it will allow the pipe to extend straight up and therefore straight back with your T. Hope it works for you.

You're too fast Northwest Blue. Concur with the 11/2 or maybe even 2" if you want to slip it on/off while behind the tractor.

You're probably right MadDog. I didn't try 2", but it would probably slip on and off more easily.
