Top & Tilt on a TC33D?

[GreenMtnMan]

I was told by my NH dealer that NH did not offer a Top-N-Tilt kit for the TC33D, however they said they could assemble a kit for me.

Mike:

A couple of things:

On our large JD's we use mechanical and electrical splitters so you can actually double your remote outlets. I'd ge mechanical splitters. I think if you visit your tractor shop, they will show them to you. Hydraulics are hydraulics. The larger ag tractors just have more gpm flow rates. The static pressure is the same or actually less than the newest CUTS.

I just happen to have an old Sears rear mount cement mixer. It's pto driven and has it's own adjustable top link. It's in the shed and tomorrow I'll take a photo and post it.

Now the last thing. What is a top and tilt? Is it like a fast hitch. I have never seen one around here and what are they used for?

Top & Tilt is a hydraulic top link (TOP) combined with another hydraulic cylinder which replaces the right side lift link on the 3ph (TILT). These cylinders let you adjust the fore/aft and right/left angles of 3ph implements on the fly from the drivers seat. When combined with a quick hitch, attaching an implement is a piece of cake even on uneven ground. You don't even need to get out of the seat unless you have to hookup the pto shaft.

A hydraulic top link with one of the side links also being hydraulic is mighty handy for lots of things, but perhaps best for the box blade because you can tilt it forward and/or backward and/or side to side on the fly. I think the old pictures I posted may no longer be there, so I'll attach one again.

That one was the box blade tilted forward and here's one with the box blade tilted back.

Thanks for the pictures Bird. I've seen the top and tilt referred to in may threads here but I didn't want to sound stupid so I never asked. Farmers are supposed to know everything!!!

I am going to build a setup like that. I have a 72" rear blade that it would work good on.
