Your hydraulic connections are likely to be unique to your tractor, and Hugh's advice is the best you're likely to get - you'll just have to trace things out and figure out how they work. A couple of things to look for in the process: are the cylinders single-acting (one hose connection/cylinder, probably for movement in the up direction only (one hose per cylindeer unless something really strange is going on) .. or are they double-acting, hydraulic pressure applied in both directions (two hoses/cylinder). The standard 300U control valves have a switch to change from being set up for double-acting versus single-acting - look at the front of the valve and you should see an upside-down "S" and "D" and a toothpick-sized pointer indicating which one is selected for that particular valve. You're probably just going to have to experiment and use some common sense to get it to work correctly. The bare weight of the 300U is about 4150#, to which you add gas, the various oils, and coolant (maybe 250#?). If the tires are filled with CaCl2, add about another 930# for 13.6-28 tires. Add 145#/side for any sets of rear wheel weights. Your guess is as good as mine for the loader and blade, but you're probably talking about at least 200# or so for the blade, and perhaps 1000# or more for the loader, depending on which ones you have. Add it all up and it gets pretty heavy. Probably the best advice at this point is to get yourself a set of manuals from Binder Books - in particular the Operators Manual. Good luck with your "new" tractor.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
