conversion kit to change my to30 direct shaft to live power? or do they sell somthing to help out bushhogging ,seemed dangerous spinning all the time and was just curious if they sell a conversion kit ,and if they do is it hard to do ?thank you for all the help this forum is very helpfull,plus had another question i set my quandrent to factory settings they said in the shop manual that lift should not drift down for fifteen minutes after engine shut off with lifted up mine drifts down kinda fast not real fast but definatly no fifteen minutes is it hard to rebuild the lift system ?and what does it cost ?or should i rely on a pro to do this job ?ive done pretty good with this tractor ,rebuilt my carb man does it run better plus fixed alot of small problems just was thinking if the lift drifted down slow like the shop manual says then maybe this would help on bushhogging , i could take out of drive with the left hand lever and would stay up for a little bit instead of drifting down ? hope i explained this correctly

There is a set-up you can get from Zane called "live thang", I think that converts your 3 point to run off an auxillary hydraulic pump on the engine. That would enable you to disengage your PTO, yet still lift your hog. It is a pricey option though. Like the other guys said, you should be running a overrun coupling no matter what, so your hog doesn't push your tractor.
I used to use brush hog chains to hold the hog at a set height for mowing. I use Marlowe's technique now, but I still use the chains to support the hog in the air while driving down the road so I don't have to disconnect the PTO shaft. The chain set-up is ~$50 at a New Holland dealer (they call it a 9N chain set). You can try rebuilding your hydraulics to give you better hang time when you stop the PTO, but I doubt you will ever get anything better than ~20 minutes. I never rebuilt the hydraulics, but sounds like you have the manual and skills to tear into it yourself. If you have questions, you know where to get the answers. Good luck!

The hydraulics will never really stay up for long periods, you get odd tractors that do but generally they dont. the system isn't enclosed so there will be leaks, if you get one that holds up 5 mins its good enough for most work. For your Brush Hog we have a guy on here who sells them ,lives them, breathes them and he wrote an article that he posted on here some time ago that is something you should read and carry out, I am sure it will help you with your problem, and if you get an over-running clutch you should be fine.

dear mister chapp. i have sold and serviced hogs for years and see this all the time. PLEASE don't take this wrong but it's a real common mistake that they are not beening mounted right.i know what your thinking how hard is it to put a hog on a tractor and go cut some grass? but!! your hog has a tail wheel right? your tractor has 2 lower lift arms right? set your hog on a 4x4 so it is level lower your tail wheel so it's on the ground. now put your tractor on but[[[[ DON'T]]] hook up the PTO with tractor running put the 3pt. control lever in the middle of the range and turn your top link so it will get longer and you will feel you 3pt. raise just a little and the stop but when you make the top link long it will raise a little more that because the control piston under the set is being pushed in and that makes you 3pt. lift untill the pressure is releasted.with a little fine tuning and a little setting of the tail wheel up or down for the height of cut you want your hog will cut at the height you want. if you have ANY questions call me i will help you set it right 1-920-446-3296 your hog should not be hanging on the tractor when your cutting but rideing on the tail wheel and the 3pt. at a set height and that is controled by your top link. good luck and if you need help call XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX X
I am sure it will help.

What you need for your pto is a over-running clutch. This adapts to your pto and then to the drive line to the chopper.

THEY MAKE A CLUTCH YOU CAN PUT ON THE PTO WE HAD ONE ON A B ALLIS CHALMERS. IT WILL KEEP THE BRUSH HOG FROM PUSHING YOU .

I used limiter chains to hold the hog at cutting hieght. The ORC is a must.It also allows you to change gears without waiting for the blade to stop. Like between fwd and reverse.
