Hi

I’m hoping someone can help me out with my first tractor down here in New Zealand .

I have a Ford 1900 and and I’d like to attach a single cylinder hydraulic Forklift to the the three point hitch but I’m struggling to find out how to do this.

I have the Power Beyond Plate on the right of the tractor (4 bolts ) and I have two levers for the hydraulics, one I think is a draft control. The tractor doesn’t have a FEL.

I’m finding new ways to kill my self each day by moving heavy machinery around and being able to use the forklift would be awesome .

I have another Ford 1900 that has 4wd that I bought for parts and doesn’t run and an Iseki that has no clutch but has a mower on the back that I use and just start it in gear . I’m of the ‘make do and mend’ generation but this hydraulic puzzle has me beat I’m afraid.

Any help or advice would be very welcome and greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jonathan

@Steve Urquell has done something like this with a Cub Cadet. So, I believe you could do this with the Ford 1900.

Here is the Ford 1900 with the Power Beyond.

Do keep us posted on your progress. My neighbor has a Ford 1500 and a smaller forklift setup he can add.
