My son and I have converted an A/C G from gas to 48V DC. He wants to use the tractor for cultivating. The tractor had original hydraulics which we removed because the pump was leaking at the PTO and at the connection to the transmission and because hydraulic operation after electric conversion was slow and balky. Literature we found relating to the conversion stated that slow, balky hydraulic operation after electric conversion was common and that many had dealt with this by installing an electric hydraulic system. Equipment was not specified. A search of the archives here suggested a linear actuator might be a solution.
We hope to raise and lower the tractor's cultivating implement. We seek a practical solution as well as advice on what information we need to purchase an appropriate system. Advice from someone who has done such a conversion or has added 12 volt hydraulics to their tractor would be especially helpful.
