3 point tilt control for L3400

[brosenbaum]

I am wanting to add tilt control to 3 point hitch on L 3400; definitely handy for many attachments, especially cutting long drainage swales - plan to moung my laser level sensor in blade to monitor/control grade along 700 ft cut.

Looking for suggested cylinder size, control valve, mounting locations, etc, plus suggestions on where to purchase parts.

Will post picts when operational -that is being oprimistic bacause I know I will be getting great pratical ideas from the orange tractor team.

If you are a good fabricator, you can get a 6" stroke cylinder to work, but it is tight. Otherwise just use a 4" stroke unit. Typically for your size tractor I would use a 2" dia hydraulic. I also highly recommend a flow restrictor, makes the adjustments much much easier.

As far as the rear remote, the OEM unit would be the cleanest route, but a bit more costly. If you go aftermarket, might as well go with at least 2 if not 3 sets. Depending on how you do it, cost can vary quite a bit.

Good luck.
