Adding Remote Hydraulics to Ford 860

Mfleck · Jul 31, 2016

Hi,

I have a Ford 860, and I'm thinking of adding remote hydraulics. At the moment I only see a need for single acting as I'd need this for a small haybine. There's always a chance I'd want more options down the line I guess.

Here are my questions:

1. Can anyone recommend a kit/approach that they have used?

2. If I can somehow find a way to find a selec-trol type plate, should I go this route? Any drawbacks here?

3. I've heard some people use an aluminum plate between the tractor and cover plate. Any recommendations for this approach?

Thanks,
Matt

If you add any type of remotes to it be sure to do a double set up. That way in the future you can do more if you need more but if you do not so it now sooner or later your likely to want more. The control that go in place to the plate under the seat can be a bit hard to find but that is about the best way to go
