Installed My "Top and Tilt" Kit Today

Gordon,
Looks like a nice custom setup that should work well for you. A little seat time and it will all come to you. I use the manual adjuster on the left side too as mentioned above. This allows me to shorten it up when ditching on the right side of the tractor with maximum tilt. For finish grading for a pad or similar work I set it back to where the hydraulic link can tilt in both directions.


Mountain View Ranch,
Brian, that looks like some nice work, keep it up.

Very nice, I have used a tractor with TnT and it really was nice; don't have it on any of ours. yet.

i was looking at the cost so its about 450 to get into one of their tnt kits with hoses.

You're right - not what I would consider cheap. Thats why a looked at them for a year before I selected a source and actually bought. The price through a dealer is even higher. I think I got excellent quality at a competitive price.
I was going to get just the top link, which is extremely useful in itself, and add the tilt later. But then decided to go whole hog in the end.

When I was a kid and plowed with our old Ferguson TO-20, I remember having to lean back in the seat and adjust tilt. We didn't have a turnbuckle style of toplink either. Ours could only be adjusted by loosening two carriage bolts and sliding the two parts of the toplink back and forth. When I bought a Ford Jubilee with the easily adjustable toplink and a tilt handcrank I could adjust from the seat, I thought about hydraulics and how that would make the job even easier. On buying my current New Holland with the raised platform and a fuel tank between me and the 3PH, I realized that any adjustment from the seat was out of the question. Getting on and off the tractor was a pain and I hated it. Why would a modern tractor be more trouble than a '40s or '50s model? The addition of TnT brought my new tractor up to date and I can't imagine being without it. Maybe one day it will be a feature as common as a PTO. We can only hope.:thumbsup:

Gorden, Thats a sweet setup you have there, Ive used the case construction tractors that have the mod hitch, (tnt) features, and I know you will be happy with your investement, pretty sweet for crowning your drive way with a landscape rake or other, grading tools, NICE RIG YOU HAVE, :thumbsup: Eric

And my driveway/road is a mile long. I can't wait to get started. We had a warm very wet week so most of the snow is gone now but it is still to muddy to work.

Nice job Gordon. Looks great.:thumbsup:

I want.

Very nice kit and great photos, I've been thinking about adding a sidelink tilt only as I can adjust the toplink by hand easy enough on the fly but being able to adjust my grader tilt on the fly would be very beneficial. Definitely the left side is the where to locate it for the majority of grading, otherwise lifting that inside edge would require two adjustments, one to lower the right side-link and one to raise the 3 point-hitch.

I not sure I understand what you are saying. In the picture I have my tilt cylinder set at mid stroke when the impliment is level. That way I can tilt either way. I only showed one side.
One side goes up and the other down. So adjusting the 3ph height will often be necessary no matter which side is lifted. The cylinder side does move more than the fixed side. Maybe that is what you are saying??
