Hi to all my Orange tractor friends. I have a Grand L5030 and my question is which of the three pin holes for the upper link should I use to get the most height with the lower links in their highest position. :confused:

The lowest on the tractor should give you the most elevation at the end of the auger. You will be able to see it instantly when you're fiddling with it. Have fun! (I hate connecting my auger, it's the toughest implement I have to connect)

I agree, it can be a real bi#%h. Attached is a picture of a PHD stand I found on a forum and built. Makes it a lot easier to install or remove it from the tractor.

Thanks for your reply. Hate it when I get those brain farts!!! :D

Thanks again for sharing the picture of your auger stand as you can see from my photo I built one also I can hitch up the auger by myself with no effort at all. When any of you do this make sure when you hang you auger have it on a balance thats the key. Thanks again Dan
