My Little Tractor


This one comes in 20/22/24/26 inches. Which one would be the right one though?
Measure your fixed link with an implement on then pick one that has a stroke to cover your measurement

Edit. Are hoses included in your example?

Which hole would you use?
I attached the top link through the middle hole at first, but someone said that using the top hole would allow the tractor to lift things higher for the same effort.
Thoughts please... Thanks.
 
If you're not going ploughing and using the draft control then it's all about geometry. The bottom hole would pull the top of the implement in more as you lift, the top hole would keep the implement more parallel to the ground. All depends on the spacing of the implement pins of course

So I might actually be better using the bottom hole then? When I lift bales using the spike the far side bottom drags on the ground. Granted I don't have front weights yet and maybe I should lift it up a bit more, but I'm worried about the constant pumping thing, but maybe on this occasion the other person wasn't correct? (he has a much bigger tractor and has had a hydraulic top link since forever).
When I moved it from the middle hole to the top one I didn't notice any real improvement, but I thought it was just me being a bit thick.

Just measured it.
Top hole of tractor to implement currently attached (transport box) is 29 inches, centre of top hole to centre of bottom hole.
Bottom hole of tractor to box, centre to centre again, is 27 inches.
 
be much easier with a loader on the front, if you can get one fitted
thats a lovely wee tractor which will do you years, might be a good investment for the future to get a loader

Bottom hole would tip the bale spike more towards the tractor when raised

Is that what you're wanting the hyd top link for? To tip the bale forward? (Excuse the crudeness of the drawing)

I love the drawings :love:
Yes, that, plus to be able to tip the box out easier when I'm doing things like shifting muck from the yard. My current method is a bit hit and miss.
 
Will I have to do any other than plug the pipes in and away I go? Hydraulics are a complete unknown to me.
 
Found this. Different model but Masseys are all the same aren't they :rolleyes:

If you have a spool valve, then yes. Photo of the rear end (tractor, not yours) and r/h controls in the cab would help

All you need to do is plug in and pull the lever
That's assuming you have an auxiliary pump on the tractor, you probably have
You may need to set the spool valve for double action
There is a little knob you turn, I can't even tell you what direction it goes as I just do it without even looking
