Ford 7710: Has two load monitor remote cylinders?

I?ve been looking through my service manual and I can?t find the
configuration that I have on my tractor. I believe it?s a 1986 made in
England. I?ve been running it for about 3 years now to pull a 20?
batwing, hay cows, and do a little bucket work. I?d like to freshen it up
and get some of the leaks stopped but I can?t find this setup in my
service manual or in any of the online discussions. It appears to have
two load monitor remote cylinders. Or maybe they?re regular
hydraulic cylinders. Please forgive me, I?m not a tractor guy and my
vocabulary is limited on the subject. I?m going to try to attach some
pictures. I?m also going to try and buy an owners/operators manual,
any help on which ones to get and where to get them would also be
much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Had to have seals in the front steering cylinder replaced a few months ago. I was told by local hydraulic shop that they were told by new holland that this is a ?(illegitimate child) tractor?. It wasn?t intended for the US market. I should probably have mentioned that in the original post.
So do these lift assist cylinders only provide lift pressure or can the produce down pressure? What was their purpose?
Should I be concerned about the absence of load monitor couplers?
Thank you for your quick and informative reply.
 
Probably a "euro spec" import tractor. The lift assist cylinders are to provide a higher 3pt lift capacity, no down pressure.
 
(quoted from post at 19:47:19 05/14/20) Probably a "euro spec" import tractor. The lift assist cylinders are to provide a higher 3pt lift capacity, no down pressure.

The euro spec tractors could come with a much much higher lift option as they tended to run very very large and heavy [b:d8b8367002]3 pt[/b:d8b8367002] equipment, where the americans ran long drawbar and combo equipment with hydraulic tail wheels that picked up the larger equipment and did the dept control...

reasons as to why?? muddier farming? public roading equipment more often? local preferences? others may know....
 
I've been around both UK and NA models. They are not really very different. 'illegitimate child' is pretty harsh....a NH dealer should be able to get parts for it. Other than the twin assister rams for heavier 3pt (they were optional in UK anyway), I can't really think of any differences. Lights, hand brake, cab back window and trailer brake valve maybe, but I though they had pretty much standardized them all by the 10 series.

Yeah, all those things you mentioned. Smaller roads and smaller irregular shaped fields in some areas made fully mounted 3 pt equipment a little easier than trailed.
 
If I want to get some tillage equipment to try and smooth my fields should I stick to 3pt type equipment? Hog ruts are terrible here. My wife and I are building a home on the property and in time I hope to fence them feral hogs out.
