Top and Tilt kit for John Deere 3039r or similar

[snohobigdad]

Hi,
I am contemplating either installing or having my JD dealer install the JD Top and Tilt kit for my three point hitch (rear). My tractor already has a 4th and 5th SCV on the left rear (see pics). Has anyone done this so far? It does require an electronic diverter valve. I believe that since I already have a mid mount mower switch on the 田ollector that the diverter would be plumbed there and I wouldn稚 need any other controls added to the control station.

Any and all input is appreciated.

Jim

I only see one set of rear remotes but maybe I'm missing something. Brian at Fit Rite can help get you set up, I just ordered a diverter and top and tilt kit from him.

Be sure to double check JD's working lengths. Unless they have changed something, their top link working length is a bit on the long side and their side link only gets you tilt to the right side. It is designed so that the implement is level when the cylinder is fully retracted. While this is simple for getting the implement back to a level position, it makes grading left and right side slopes impossible when moving in a single direction.

I see a single rear remote which I believe is the 3rd SCV. You do not have the 4th & 5th SCVs.

Well you guys are way sharper than my hopes. I just have a 3rd SCV. So to do this, I do need to add 4th and 5th SCV along with the diverter valve and controls. Exceeded the budget. So get off the tractor and do it by hand.

Yes, it's a bit pricey but my expectation is it will be worth every penny spent. I would do a lot more with my box blade and rear blade but it's such a hassle to be always be messing with the links.

If we still had the farm with 1000 feet of driveway plus other needs, I think I could have sold the idea (justified). I just had to get real with myself. It ain稚 tough to do the adjustments, just it would have been quicker and kind of cool.
