TNT question

   / TNT question #11  
Like Bird, I too use the top way more than the tilt, but I also use the tilt way more than you think, especially cutting new trails and roads with the boxblade.
Another thing I wanted to show was, if you feel inclined to do so, you can get the rear remote quick couplers and bracket, cylinders, control valve, check valves, hoses, connections and the whole shebang and do it yourself. That's what I did to add the side links, two of them instead of just one.

I did have two sets of rear remotes that came stock on the tractor, but I ended up using that control valve to run the two side link cylinders. I got them extra heavy duty for what I was planning to do with the tractor. Then I got a 3 spool valve and used that for 3 sets of rear remotes. I use one or two sets mostly, but have only had to use all 3 sets on one occasion. That is when I had the top link attached and my boxblade with hydraulic rippers and hydraulic gauge wheels.
Anyway, I thought a link might help for those inclined.

ok, the new Kubota L3540 I'm looking at has external seperate cylinders for the 3pt. Does anyone know a way to seperate them there and use them as the tilt?

I have found that I need the tilt a whole lot more than the top for shaping the ground with a box blade-- and CCM won't start making the tilt (side link hydraulic) again until September:(

(the sidelink is custom fabricated, while the toplink is more or less standard except for the hyd hose len, so they stock standard tops but not sides. Of course I bought a top and found that I needed the tilt a lot more... just after they stopped making them during the busy haying season.)

Alos, Its a nice feature when you are using a Blade. You can tilt left or right to match the center height of many gravel roads and drives. Or any time you are using your blade on un eaven ground.

MM.
