I have decided this is the route I am going to take to control our ditcher.

Thinking about a couple different ways to control.

1.  Tractors three point hitch has hydraulic top link.  Would it be possible to use this cylinder to adjust pitch and control grade using drag plate on the ditcher?

2.  Also considering the possibility of installing a hydraulic cylinder on the drag plate to raise and lower the ditcher and control grade.

Providing your preferred approach and reasons why would be appreciated.

This is an older tractor so controlling the three point electronically isn't possible.

BTW.  We have a Hurricane PT-26 ditcher.

I would need to purchase Intellislope and valve block for either situation.  Already have cylinder for drag plate laying around in our shed.

While reading the Intellislope manual it mentions putting the three point in float.  I think I know what this means bit want to make sure.  Does it mean the switch should placed in the down position and the three point will raise and lower as the ditcher is controlled by Intellislope?

Thanks,

Jay
