Hydraulic Hookup Differences...aarrgggh

Posted by pbutler on July 13, 2004 at 10:15:15 from (199.249.176.251):

I am a new farmer and have been attending auctions and building equipment...most work custom done this year.

The farm I grew up on was all green so I guess I naively assumed all hydraulic hookups were generic.

It seems every piece of equipment I buy and every tractor has different connector sizes or types. My tractors so far are a John Deere 4630 (JD of course) and Massey 255 (uses 3/8 Pioneer).

I have several things I would like to use on both tractors-or simply to move around. How do you guys deal with this problem?

It may cost a little but at this point I am thinking of going to the largest denominator and making all the ends fit the deere and just keep an adapter on the little 255 or other tractors I use???

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks

Paul Butler
