The presenter walks through all kit components, explains fitting orientation, pin placement, cotter pins, and hose hookup including how to correct reversed angling direction. Best for owners who already have a fixed quick hitch and want to add angling capability themselves.
Posted by the Tractor Hoarders channel; the presenter installs the kit on a friend's tractor, suggesting a hobbyist owner-operator perspective rather than a dealership or commercial source.
Yes. John Deere recommends removing the front hitch, but the presenter leaves it on the tractor and installs the kit that way instead.
A hydraulic cylinder, two hydraulic hoses with color coded fittings, pins and bolts, hydraulic couplers, and an additional hanger. No instructions were included.
If pushing the valve left or right gives the opposite result, swap the hydraulic hoses to the other side to correct the direction.
The fixed, or head, end has no seals. The other end has the rod that moves in and out, which is the rod end.
