    Yes, Brian is right to be suspicious that I would think of that myself! I got it off YouTube

    I’m joining the club! Finally found a tractor of the capability I need and within my budget. Here is the picture from the ad, forgot to get better ones when I was looking it over.

    HST, three rear remotes which I have no use for as far as I can tell, for now at least.

    I like the comment (for now) you will find something to plug into the hydraulic outlets

    Thanks y’all! It’s a Grand L5460HST with the LA1065 loader. I’m excited to get working with it after some cautious maintenance.

    Well, it was good to make that statement carefully because I’m gonna install a top n tilt kit to use two of the remotes, and the aux for rippers on a box blade, etc!

    the top n tilt is probably the coolest thing you can add to your machine now that I have it. Implements really become “alive” I should say.

    Discovered the tractor has a hydraulic fluid leak, and it’s soaking into my shop floor. :mad:

    As you saw in the video posted, its making your right draft link and top link hydraulic. You no longer physically spin them to extend, to level your implements.

    The one in the video though I wouldnt be a huge fan of. I have a diverter, I hit a switch on my control panel and now the joy stick for the FEL operates the remotes that are hooked into the top n tilt cylinders.

    It saves a lot of time when hooking up implements, but it also rocks when your operating implements on uneven terrain... for instance running a bush hog on a ditch bank, using a scraper blade in a ditch etc etc.
