Top and Tilt with Joy Stick completed

descanso1 · Jan 14, 2014

I started a thread a couple of weeks ago called "Adding TNT, TOP N TILT, TOP AND TILT TO KUBOTA B7800 (WORK IN PROGRESS) W/ JOYSTICK" http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/300547-adding-tnt-top-n-tilt.html
Well I finished up today. Tried to keep the hoses neat and clean, installed the Joystick. I will be adding flow restricters to slow down the movement.. Really like the joy stick. For tilt to the right just push the stick to the right. To lower the front of the box blade I push forward.. Thanks Brian for your advice..

Yes, I have full travel on the 3pt, and full function on the joystick, including float on both rams, also the hoses on the 3 point don't touch anything in any position. Works great! Thanks.

Very nice. Rewarding to see a plan work isn't it!!!! You'll wonder how you got along without this modification.

Update: I had a little problem with leak down being excessive so I called Brian he apologized and then instructed me on how to isolate the ram and check it. It proved to be the valve not the ram. When I got back to Brian, Fit Rite Hydraulics, and informed him he immediately supplied me with a replacement valve, took care of the problem, nice doing business with someone who cares, Thanks Brian...

Just glad that I happened to have the valve in stock so that your replacement and repair time was at a minimum. Just so that others will know, this was the first valve problem that I have had with the Bucher valves that I sell. They seem to be a very good valve at a reasonable cost.

Thanks for everything descanso1
