    Interesting. But, if I ever have the urge to mess with my hydraulics - I will go lay down until the urge passes.

    Good video, seeing something done makes doing it so much easier. To top it off, I got to learn an issue without having to experience it myself. Thanks for telling on yourself so I'm smarter without having those issues. Thanks for explaining and showing how the landplane works and has issues. I've seen others but your video showed me how they function, my understanding is now clear. Thank you.

    The rear hydraulics are a sweet addition to your TYM 2515, I like it, maybe I could do the same with my JD 1020. I like your honesty, refreshing to hear, the draft control has stumped a lot of us, present company included. Good job Evan, have a nice evening!

    Tractor Time with _ has a video with decent explanations on the hydraulic top link. Yes I did same with valve on a jd2840 maaaany years ago. Did not have a set of manuals. Tore into hydraulic cylinder and long story finally figured it out it was the valve. I bought tractor at a auction and they did not work but bought anyways. Lots of lessons on that job.

    I think you will really enjoy those remotes. I went to my Branson dealer, they still haven't switched to TYM yet, and talked to the mechanic and he showed me all the things i needed to do to install it. A few months later, Tony's Tractor Adventure did a video on how to do it, he had problems just like i did but he made it look easier than when i did mine. Good call on removing the seat right away, it has to be done for the install. I have been looking at that same top link for my 2515h, let us know what you think about it in a few months. A hydraulic side link can also be added with the kit you got, which is real nice. The backhoe can even hook into the valve that is controlled by the lever on the right, it has a notch that can run continuous flow. Now you can run a tilt/bank flail mower or a wood splitter on the back of that tractor. I hope you enjoy it. Keep the great videos coming.

    I have a John Deere 318 garden tractor with a hydraulic deck
    lift and I was mowing one day I lost the power steering on the mower and it was almost impossible to turn I thought something was going out on my mower after checking everything over the deck lift didn’t completely release and robbed the hydraulic flow from the steering. I’ve been wanting to get a hydraulic top link for my tractor it wears me out adjusting my top link to use the rippers on my box blade then back for blading

    I have had to shut down and walk away from my Massey Ferguson 2607H, several times to let the 3 point lift relax and lower itself. I need to see if that "valve" exists on my machine.
    I have been wanting to get a hydraulic upper link for a few years. Just haven't splurged for it yet. Congratulations on the upgrade.

  • @AnomadAlaska
    @AnomadAlaska 10 місяців тому +2

    Definitely getting top and tilt for the box blade on my next tractor. If you live on a dirt road try to encourage everyone to try to not drive in the same ruts. Drive a little over here and little over there. But good luck with that as well. I am probably the only person on our shared driveways that does it. Funny that I maintain it too?? LOL. My little B2601 (I bought way too small) spins out pulling a 4 foot box blade up even the slightest grade. Nothing on my property is flat or straight. Have to use Dad's antique Yanmar to grade or bush hog.

    Evan, as usual, another great show. Thank you.
    I have a favour to ask of you.
    First of all, consider the security implications of the request and, if you feel that in ANY away AT ALL, it reduces your security, please just say NO!!
    But, if you in some way could make a map , doesn’t need to be accurate, of your property, I, and am sure, a lot of your other fans, would be very grateful. I just get a bit confused where this shed or road is/leads/ends etc , where the pond/ lake is/leads etc.
    Again, if you have concerns, just say NO.
    Thank you very much for even considering it.
    Sincerely,
    Rod.
