H-3 Tripple Hydraulics on a 2182, (YES X 2)

Post by CCPULLIN »

Well I did it! I installed Tripple Hydraulics (H-3) on 2 of my 6 2182 Supers! Upper valve is for RF hydraulics, center valve is for center lift and 3 point hitch and lower valve for LF hydraulics and rear hydraulics. At some point in time I want to install a separate cylinder for the 3 point hitch so the hitch does not go up and down with mower/blade/snow blower. Ended up being quite a challenge having issues such as pressure hydraulic line hitting steering tower, hole not large enough for all 3 valves in tower, 8 hoses to go around and under radiator... I removed dash although kept radiator in it and worked around it so I could make sure pressure line from power steering to lower valve did not touch radiator or mount (only 1/8" clearance around it) and to run all 8 lines clearing radiator. Time will tell if I install H-3 on the other 4 2182's but for right now I am very satisfied!!!

If you would like to see pictures of the procedure installing them let me know!

Wow, that is very cool.  I only have dual hydraulics on my 1872, therefore it is my dedicated Haban blade tractor.  Love that power angle.

My loader 2182 never sees a center attachment, so it's hydraulics are by definition dedicated to the Cat 0 three point hitch.

My other 2182 is dedicated to mowing and snowblower, so I really don't have a pressing reason to go through all that work like you did.

If you want to keep this thread going with some pics showing the "story of the install", that would be very cool!

Welcome to the club. I've looked at putting a cylinder in for the rear lift. Haven't worked on it yet though, Don't have many things to put back there anyway.

We always like pictures. I don't recall having any real issues on my triples. I was looking at one of my spares the other day and mocking up a rear lift cylinder. So far the hardest part is a solid mount for the cylinder. I think it will be going in the tunnel at the moment. With an extension bar to the rear.
