Thanks for the welcome. I have already learned much scanning the forum postings.

Welcome to the forums!

Sure you'll find everything you need.

Do you already have a tractor or are you still looking?

I saw where you have a Deere 4400. There is a great JD forum here on TBN. BTW:welcome:

Sorry. Operating on my iPad here and can't get to all the user info. Sounds like a nice tractor. And it's always nice to have another Deere member here!:thumbsup:

I have had a compact JD 4400 HST since new. It's been a good tractor so far. I do have an issue now that I have put a cab/heat houser unit on the machine. The rear window does not open so I can no longer crank my snowblower chute. I have always wanted to use a cylinder but only have midQD formthe loader. Power beyond for this "old" tractor has proved difficult to find so far. $1200 for Deere dealer to construct from parts is pricey. A diverter would work but how do determine what and where to buy. A puzzle. An electric actuator would also work but how big a unit is necessary. They are not cheap, either. Well, I had not planned to post but HEEEERE it is!

Sounds like you got a project. I would post this in the "build it yourself" thread and you'll get a lot more help. Although it is factory sometimes an aftermarket hydraulics kit works just as well and is cheaper

Thank you. I am now busily checking the aftermarket places to see what I can do.
