Lift arm control

[avillahdw]

Hello Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone out there has come up with a way to raise/lower the lift arms from the rear of the tractor. I believe some models of Mahindra offer this and I can certainly see where this would be handy when hooking up implements if not using a quick hitch.

I would like to know. My fenders have punch out that look like a place for switches.

I don't need to access my controls, but I have in the past used a cane and another member simply uses a notched piece of PVC pipe.

It's hard with the cab in the way.

Guess it depends on the tractor, I just opened the back glass. I no longer use any open station tractors.

I also open the back window.. and use a 1 1/4 piece of pvc about 4 ft. long with a groove cut one inch from the end.. I slip it over the lever and push or pull to lift or raise.. I have 5740C Montana and 990 John Deere,, Lou

You guys are better climbers or taller I could see me falling back on the hitch. It's not to bad I work left to right then I am near the door when I can work it pretty easy.

On my U5030 (non-cab), the lift arm control is down beside the right side if the seat, which is no problem as long as your in the seat. The ease if having a rear accessible control would be nice. I have a plan floating around in my head and if it works, I'll post pics and details. As this is a new tractor, I do not have my hydraulic top link or quick connect on yet.

You mean like the one on the back of my Kioti?. It doesnt look like it would be that hard to build some mechanical linkage to do this.

I know rub it in.

I know I've seen other members make linkage that throws to the back. A simple pivit pin on a rod back to thru support will work.
I'll see if I find it when I go home. --found--
