I also need 3. Two for rear T&T then a 3rd for the implement, which I end up running a 5' hose to the 3rd function at my right foot. it sucks, but it works.

I agree, 3 is a good number. I'd like to see pictures of yours, why 2 tilt cylinders?
My B2910 is not a large tractor. With one tilt cylinder I would have lost 3PH lift.

With two cylinders I was able to gain a little extra 3PH lift, and an added advantage with both cylinders fully up or down I could be sure the implement was level at those points. With one tilt cylinder you take your best guess as far as level goes. As I do between the extreme points.

I put the setup together myself, so had maximum flexibility.

Looks like this:

(Cylinders are 4” stroke)

I do the opposite. One of my (two) rear remotes runs up to the center of the loader. I don't have top-n-tilt, and use one remote a lot but have never really needed the second one (but could use it if I don't need it up front at the same time).

That’s wild! Are the 3 point arms all the way down in this picture? Then lowering the tilt gives you that much more?
I believe the arms are all the way down in the photo.

By using two cylinders I also get a little more lift than possible with the standard set up.

Another advantage is I know the implement is level if I have both cylinders either full out or full in.
