If so, here goes...

How much are the telescoping draft arms? roughly.
Is it worth getting the imatch from JD?
The cylinder and hoses part of the TnT, would they be an added cost even if I got the Power Beyond kit for a BH?

Joe you are based overseas in Sweden correct? Im not sure how harbor freight will work for you there (shipping) but overall its nice to keep a considerable amount of money in your pocket, then in Deere's for their over priced attachments. I paid $69 bucks for something that works great and will last. If it doesn't I would buy another one a few more times and still be ahead of the game.

I'm based in Sweden but plan to buy a JD to import to Sweden and hope a dealer can assemble the extra kit prior to shipping.

Top and tilt requires 2 rear SCVs and the diverter kit from JD. Power Beyond is separate, and is used for attachments which have their own control valves, like a backhoe. What I think I would want myself is 3 rear SCVs and 3 mid mount connections, which would require an additional third-party diverter valve. Then I could have a loader with a grapple, top 'n tilt, and one spare for any rear attachment which needed hydraulics. Carter and Carter Machinery has an array of T'nT kits, and can provide more help. See their website here: Tractor Hydraulic toplink, Top-N-Tilt, Side link. W. R. Long has a well-regarded diverter valve, see their website: Valve Kits. Spend some time on JD's Build Your Own Configurator, and read the pop-ups from the sales manual which are linked to most of the options on each attachment and accessory.


There are other quick hitches besides JD, and some of them have an adjustable top hook which would allow use of some attachments which don't fit the JD. Pat's Easy Change is a cheaper alternative, but extends the lift arms about 4 inches, so you would also need a longer top link to keep the same hitch geometry. To learn more about quick hitches, search on TractorByNet.com. The subject has been beaten to death over there, and I think all viewpoints have been addressed there.

Have fun shopping, and good luck

Fred
