M7060 - 3-Point Hitch control lever at the rear of tractor.

[SDT]

On several videos that are on the 'net I've noticed a 3-point hitch control lever that is located at the back of the M7060 tractor which makes it easier to connect an implement (see photo below). Does anyone know where one of these can be purchased?

By-the-way, the videos I'm referring to are from European countries so maybe this option is unique for them.

There is a positioning control on the rear fender of the M4 but not on the 7060 unless it has been recently added.

The control on the M4 is a bit of a Rube Goldberg but is helpful in certain circumstances.

Actually most companies offer it particularly on cabbed tractors larger than CUT. They usually have an electric switch located on the rear of the fender or 2 buttons to move the hitch up or down at an extremely slow speed. They have been offered since the late 1980's. Very helpful when trying to get pins aligned when you don't have a quick hitch.

Bingo.

Never seen any such controls on smaller tractors sold in the US aside from the mechanical version on the M4.

I know this is a old thread but there is a kit available for the m7060 and 7040 series tractors.

Could you tell me the part number for that kit? For the life of me I cannot find it anywhere.

Does anyone know if the guy is still making the rear 3 pt lever for the m7060

I added that ability to a MX5400 I used to have the Workmaster 75 I have came with it. In my opinion they should all have it especially in cab model tractors.

Evidently you do not utilize the feature of the built in extendable draft link where one can extend & raise ball when attaching implements to 3pt hitch??

On my M5640 I made a lever that clamps onto the 3ph control lever at the operator station and extends out the back so that I can raise and lower the 3ph from the back. The linkage is all mechanical, When I am standing on the ground where I can reach the OEM lever I can't see the 3ph over the rear fender this rear lever made things way more convenient. Kind of crude but simple and works very good.

When I was killing time at a local Kioti dealer that was a feature on several models I looked over.

Seems like something a clever owner could easily add with an inexpensive remote control cable

I added that feature on my MX5400 Cab tractor it is something that really should be a standard feature on Cab Tractors in my opinion I also added the ability to control my hydraulic top link from the same location between those two additions it made hooking up anything to the 3 point a lot easier.

I had fabricated a rod that attached to the linkage that the cab lever cable attaches to on top of the transmission. Has a handle on the other end of the rod that I could push or pull from the back of the tractor to control the lower links. Simple and worked perfectly.
Unfortunately, I installed a couple of rear remotes on the tractor that changed the linkage so my fix wouldn't work anymore. Got to come up with a new design.
