Electronic Pto Kit For Deere 9000 Series Tractors
Anyone who owns a Deere 9000 or 9020 series tractor will be interested in this new electronic pto kit, which lets you engage the tractor pto by simply pushing a button on the tractor seat's armrest.
  The kit consists of an electronic actuator that mounts on back of the tractor to existing linkage that engages the pto, and a wiring harness that plugs into auxiliary outlets on the tractor. It was invented by a service technician who works for Brian Jacobs at Reynolds Farm Equipment, a Deere dealer in Fishers, Ind.
  "It works just like the pto-engaging system already found on Deere 8000 and 9030 series tractors," says Jacobs. "Normally, to engage the pto you have to reach all the way forward to a lever located in the upper right corner of the cab. It's hard to engage the unloading auger on a grain wagon while trying to twist around to see behind you to make sure the area is clear at the same time. With our kit you just turn around and look back, then press the switch on the seat armrest."
  Sells for $899 plus S&H. Includes all hardware and instructions.
   The company also sells a new "ladder swing kit" that's designed to fit all Deere 9000 series combines. It lets you swing the ladder in or out by pressing a button on the combine seat's armrest, without having to leave the cab.
  "Without this kit you have to open the cab door and step on a mechanical latch, then physically ride the ladder around and lock it in place. Meanwhile the door is open so you then have to go back into a dusty cab," says Jacobs.
  The kit consists of an electronic actuator that operates off the combine's battery, and a wiring harness that plugs into auxiliary outlets on the combine. The actuator bolts to the bottom of the ladder and requires drilling 1 hole in the bottom of the ladder and 3 holes in a step already on the combine.
  Sells for $599 plus S&H. Includes all hardware and instructions.
