3-Point Hitch B21 TLB Hyd Top Link

[TonyF]

Hi, I'm considering adding a hydraulic top link and maybe tilt to my B21. I'm looking for any specific info on where to tap in to the hyd system from someone who has done it to the B21. The machine has both the loader and backhoe.

I was wondering about the hyd supply line for the backhoe? Once the hoe is removed, the supply line reconnected to itself, and the BH/3 point selector lever moved to 3 point, if the line will still be pressurized and usable?

Remotes maybe? Same deal, does anyone know where they would connect on the B21?

Thanks,

Tony

When the BH/3P lever is in the 3 point position the backhoe does not have flow.

There was a factory power beyond option to power the optional trencher which hooks up via 3 point.

I believe a linear actuator might be a less expensive option.

Tony if you send me an email at bruce @ 2ward.com (remove spaces) I can forward pictures I have of the factory power beyond option for the B5550A trencher.

Some B21s also have factory rear remotes. I am not sure if those remotes use the power beyond block or something else.

Thanks Bruce, I did not consider a linear actuator. Excellent idea!

I'll send the email tonight from my home address, at work at the moment
