Hi CBurnswig,

Just for refference, the right hand cylinder will do more work than the left hand cylinder due to the way you have it plumbed.

It won't make too much difference now as the cylinders are new and have very little internal leakage but get some wear on them and then it'll show up.

To be balanced with a common inlet, the inlet needs to be the same distance to both cylinder inlets or use a restictor on the right hand cylinder inlet.

As it's plumbed the right cylinder will get slightly more pressure and oil volume than the left hand cylinder over time.

Structuraly it looks great and sure is pretty :)

Looks good, though I'd like another look at it with a close-up photo from the side. Did you use two center links for your vertical side lift links? I'm putting one together for my H and, while I've seen used side lift links for sale at tractor shows, this year they are nowhere to be found. Redlandhill Fabrication on Ebay sells some that are reviewed to be robust and aren't too expensive.

as long as you maintain the standard dimensions in relation to the pto it will work. the picture may be deceiving but it looks as though the drawbar and 3pt are too close to the pto. i know the drabwar hole is supposed to be 14 inches from the pto shaft.

third party image

I does look nice but it almost looks like it would interfere with the PTO?

Mine doesn't look near as nice but it does get the job done. The stabilizer bar is on the very bottom right side in the picture of my 3 point.

I guess mine would look a little better if I put some red paint on it! (but still needs a lot of help in the looks department!) ;-)

I did something similar by putting a fast hitch on a 650D. I opted to use 2 IH cylinders because the ports are at the top. They are even better because there is no need to use Tee's seeing that they have four ports. You can plumb in and out of the first cylinder. It looks to me like your crossover hoses are very vulnerable to impact damage. Otherwise, nice job.

The fact that you have the top cross arm on the setup eliminates the potential for problems with pressure. Pressure in the left cylinder will have only 6" more straight hose to act through. If this system was operating in hundreds of cycles per minute (not likley) there might be a incredibly small difference. One Law of hydraulics is equal pressure in all directions in a closed system.
I built my M threepoint (sold the unit in Montana seven years ago, pics burried, if I find em I'll post)with a single DA lift cyl 4.25" on the left side, a stout top lift cross arm, and a DA cylinder from the power steering on a simi for the right lift link. This allows power tilt. Mine bolts to four of the axle housing bolts in an arc on each side, to allow full axle access. I used simi steering tirod ends for pivot points. On request I'll hunt up the Autocad files.

Looks like a neat installation, but unless I'm missing something it needs chains or some sort of stabilizers to keep the implement from moving from side to side too much.

Looks very good. Saw something similar on a Faramll 300 once. May have to talk with you sometime if I ever get an M and need a 3 point.

Looks like you did a good job to me. Looks professional.
