Top-n-Tilt

[robd123]

Thanks Brian, I need all the help I can get. Depending on the model I end up getting, I will be ordering rather than getting one from the lot.

By using the remotes for the TNT as you have it, does that mean there are separate controls for top and side rather than the joy stick, i.e., there are always separate controls for each remote, right?

When it gets dry here the soil is hard and it is difficult to get a post hole auger to go in with only its own weight. I was planning to get the optional cylinder which is supposed to give 550 lbs of down pressure (This is the 2102 Bush Hog post hole auger). Did you get such an option on your post hole auger? Would the top cylinder of the TNT do the same thing?

Rob, if you use the factory remotes, they will have separate control levers- knobs for each hydraulic. The top link is removed when using a post hole digger. The main boom is attached at the top link point of the 3 point hitch, so no, a hydraulic top link will not work for the down pressure kit of a post hole digger. Funny that you ask about the down pressure kit, I just ordered one for my Landpride PD35, in fact it was supposed to be in today. I will have to check tomorrow. Something to think about when you get your post hole digger is that the heavy duty ones have a lower gear ratio 4-1 instead of 3-1, and that makes them easier to use IMO. I got tired of waiting for my holes to get dug this past weekend, and I have to much stuff to do, to waste time when it could go faster. I hope that this makes a big difference in the time spent digging holes.

Repeat after me..."Buy factory remotes if you are hydraulically challenged".

Buy as many as are available for your tractor and that's usually three. Forget about the cost since you have doubts about installing it all yourself.

You will have one lever to control the cylinders connected to each pair of remote QD's. For a TNT you will have one lever/remote for the top link and one lever/remote for the tilt link.

If you want a joystick to control the rear remotes then you have to use an aux externally mounted valve with a joystick. Factory remotes are not controled with a joystick.

Forget about power beyond. You obviously still do not understand what it is or how it is implemented.

Repeat after me..."Buy factory remotes if you are hydraulically challenged". You will be glad you did.

..."Buy factory remotes if you are hydraulically challenged". rob -- from one hyd challenged individual to another -- I ditto Mad's remark -- Get every remote your tractor will allow when you order it. It may seem overkill right now - but later you'll be glad you did. When I got my NH almost 6 years ago - I only got one remote .... I now have 2 and it looks like I'll be taking it in for a third if we get a backhoe this spring like the wife wants ..... (I imagine that's going to happen) As time passes and you do more & more with the tractor - you're going to need more capability. without it - you'll be limited to what you can do or what implements you can have. Also - if you're getting a loader - be sure to get a quick connect bucket --- another miss on my part that I had to fix later....at more $$

if you look down the list of posts you'll see a post of mine labeled " adding remotes" and it will show you, if your loader valve set up is the same as a 4110, how to do it. IF you are not comfortable in messing with this stuff please follow

The CCM hydraulic toplinks and side links with double piloted check valves will arrive at CCM on Monday April 2. Please give us a day to check them in before you call and place your order. We will start taking orders Tuesday April 3. ALL sizes should be available.
Thank you for your patience and support.
