When I built my TnT, I added a level indicator rod to the side link. Thought it would be helpful to know when my 3pt arms are level with the tractor. Soon realized that information was insignificant. What counts is what the implement being used is doing. Cool though!!!! :D

I like the idea... Often find the sweet spot and have no idea if I'll find it again

I needed something to indicate when the attachment was level front to back. (a "sweep spot" as C4Ranch mentions) Then the blade can be pivoted on the horizontal plane and still be level with the ground. I know now that a 2 3/4" reading on the scale indicates level for this particular attachment.

Not sure what you mean by this post. Just asking.

I took it as a compliment and idea about what could be next??

We have a member on here, 4shorts I think is his name. That man added high tech gadgetry to his tractor that was amazing!!! :)

OK how did you do this and what parts does it take? Instructions, parts list, etc. :D:thumbsup: I could keep a note book for each piece of equipment of where to set once the sweet spot is found.
