Hello there!
Writing you guys and gals from the Yukon.
I bought this tractor with great hesitation as it did not have auxiliary hydraulics. Being in the North, there was only one choice to buy at the time, so I was not able to shop around for one that did come with it.
Anyhow, now the time has come where I would like to add front aux lines for a snowblade and possibly a few to the rear for a TNT hitch. I have searched and the general consensus is that this is very expensive and difficult.
My question is, what is involved? I am good at customizing brackets and have a good hose shop nearby. I do not mind having aftermarket levers for this. Has anyone else done this?
Also, if sourced from the JD dealer, how much would this run me, and would it be possible?
It is a 2005, if that helps and has a Hydraulic Thumb with a pin on bucket, tapped into the "power beyond" circuit.
I am new to all of this and would really appreciate any insight.
Many thanks
Dave
