I have purchased and installed the unit with filter on my TO-20 and IT WORKS!!! However, I have the following comments:
1. I thought the unit came complete for installation as it came with a fan belt and radiator hose. WRONG!
2. I thought that it could easily be installed in 2 hours. WRONG! Now I admit that I am not totally a mechanical person but the following gave me problems:
a. The bolt holes on the pump did not line up quite right and I had to ream them out. No big deal.
b. The bolts with washers we a little too short because if you as a lock washer, it was too short to start. No big deal.
c. The drain plug on the differential was a different size than the hose fitting - trip to hardware for a reducing bushing. No big deal.
d. The muffler was in the way for the other fitting and had to be moved. A little extra work.
e. The fan belt supplied was too short. Had to buy a longer one. Extra cost.
f. The radiator hose would in no way work as my radiator outlet at the bottom is horizontal. This involved several trips to the auto parts store and I finally cobbed a NAPA hose #8693 with a short 1 1/2" exhaust pipe and a 4" length of radiator hose to solve the problem. Big deal.

In other words, there is nothing that can't be worked out and I would recommend that the hose and belt be optional. It may be that my Ferguson was modified and that is why I had problems.

I hope that my experience helps others who try as the system does work and I highly endose it.

Good job Zane.

this device (zane thing) is it a hydrolic pump system . you speck of a pump and a fan belt . i do not understand the need to involve the rad system or the exhaust unless they are in the way . i am very interested , if this system could make the operation of the tractor and hydrolics independent . how ever I try to drill post holes with my tea2085 and since the pto shaft and three piont hitch do not run seprately it makes it more then dificault to lift the drill out of the hole while the pto shaft is still turning . to do two or three holes is easy , but any more and it gets very trying to the brain , if you know what i mean . so that is the problem , i hope this might cure ,if not and you know of an other way to solve this problem let me know . thank you

I have used Zane's live hydraulics for a week now brush hogging fields and it works fine. Zane put a lot of R&D into it and I recommend you contact him and order the system. Has anyone else had experience with his system?
