So how does it lift up? If its just connected to the 3 point linkage then your stuck with wherever you set the height of the bucket? I can understand the advantage of a bucket but dont you want to dig and lift with it?

Wow Mac, does that run both sides at the same time or is there a valve somewhere? Very impressive piece of equipment!

Washed the copper packing in detergent, then rinsed it out with heads, flushed with clean water then, packed the column on the neutraliser, then flushed again with heads.....let dry and rigged up with the Block-head adaptor, thanks Sue! It arrived! Did a sacrificial run and got yellow scummy oil on the bottom 2 plates.....stripped it down and washed everything again....reassemble and run another TPW....if a grain neutral is better, then I'm ready to be amazed, oh man is that some top notch neutral there....had some hearts straight off the still in some OJ... :handgestures-thumbupleft: and I thought I knew what I was doing....this hobby is teaching me stuff every day....I declare that the neutraliser is....the shit.
