It appears that some M series tractors have a rear hydraulic convenience lever for raising/lowering the 3 pt arms. Is this standard on cab tractors? or hydraulic shuttles?
Thank you

since your talking about a cab tractor.i think its pretty common to have a rear hydro lever to keep you from climbing in an out of the cab while hooking up equipment.but id ask your dealer to make sure.

I have a M9540 Grand Cab. It was not offered as an option when I bought mine 4 years ago.
I have seen this on other tractors and it does look convenient.
My solution is to open the back window and reach in to operate the controls.
If I had this as an option I would certainly get it but it would not be a deal breaker.

we kept the back window for that reason as well.

We have never used the 3-point on our M8540, but I don't believe it has this option. An open window and a piece of PVC pipe or my cane works on my L5030 HSTC.

I agree it would be handy though as mentioned not a deal breaker.

It wasn't an option that I know of, but would sure be a nice. I do like the PVC pipe through the back window idea.

That was one of the many tips given to me by TEXASJOHN.

I made a small bracket and bolted it to the bar that goes from side to side of the ROP. There is enough room to run 2 small rods under it and hook to the remote lever and the 3 point lever. Then you have control in the back!!
I used 1/4" rod and put a small knob on them. I only did it on my L4240, the B7800 doesn't need one.

That will not work with the cab in the way.
It would probably take a cable set-up to make it work.
Think I will stick with pipe & window method for now.
