Having an ajustable top hook is an advantage if you don't want to modify older implements. Granted it does'nt fix all but gives you a few more options. Getting off the tractor to change one hookup is still alot better than unhooking all the linkage.

I popped the hood. Hey no corrosion. The tie down was over the model # but the battery has 980 Cranking amps & 820 cold cranking amps. The top of battery is red if this helps. If I remember I had to fab new tie downs cause the originals were corroded beyond help.

Why wouldn't the spreader work with the imatch if you have bushings for the side pins unless it doesnt work with the 3 point system?

I would use what the manufacturer recomends. Hydraulic fluids are designed for different operating temps & uses. Also some tractors would void the warrenty if not using what is recomended.

Both blade and box blade are good tools if you have alot of road to maintain.

There is a set of standards that most manufactures follow. By doing this it makes it so us tractor folks can buy a gadget that saves alot of time and hassle. I think its a great idea and I'm sure it will improve as time goes on.

Does anyone use a button on your joystick to control the 3rd function on their loader?

I would get both. Mine came with a nine and I bought a 13 as well. The nine is definatly better for stump action and digs about the width of a shovel. The 13 is better if you want a trench you can walk in or are wanting to dig a big hole.

I purchased the HD bucket when I bought my 430 loader and it was well worth the extra $$$. My brother inlaw bought the standard bucket and had xtra reinforcement welded in and it still isn't as good as the heavy duty bucket.

The tractor is a JD 4300 with 32hp. The 4 in 1 bucket is made by deere. How big was the tractor that you had the 4 in 1 on?

You have to have hydraulic lines run to the front of the loader in order to run the 3rd function. Deere has a kit with a joystick that mounts on the right fender. Rankin Equipment has a joystick mounted button with a electro hydraulic valve that runs off the power beyound circut for a grapple.

You should have plenty of power with the power beyond kit already installed. You might need longer hoses to reach the splitter. Good luck, JBS

Thanks for the advice. I moved a cast iron firepit and it weighed 700-800 lbs. I had a
chain wrapped around the bucket resting on a chunk of 4x6 to distribute the weight
coming of the front of the bucket I could only lift it about 3 ft. By moving the chain so
it came off the back of the bucket I was able to raise the firepit to full bucket height.
By installing hooks it will make using a chain a lot easier than wrapping a chain
around the bucket each time. Are the hooks pointed to the front or back of the bucket?

Thats not a bad price. I just paid $11,400 + tax + shipping for a 1999 JD 4300 12/12SR with 472
hrs. I didn't think that was many hrs for a machine of this quality. Also the quickchange of implements
is worth it.

I know this is an old post but did you ever install the power beyond kit and if so how difficult was it?
