Remote Controls For Tractor Throttle PTO TRACTORS Accessories 24-5-8 "It saves a lot of time and running back and forth to the tractor when we load or unload grain bins," says Keith Hoffman, Bellingham, Minn., who made a linkage system to control the throttle and pto on the tractor he uses to operate his auger.
The linkage consists of two long steel rods - one that hooks up to the throttle and the other to the pto control lever. Both rods are suspended about 3 ft. off the ground by a pair of steel posts anchored in the ground.
The rod that controls the throttle bolts to one end of an L-shaped steel bracket that mounts on the tractor fender. The bracket pivots on a bolt. A length of strap iron at the other end of the bracket is bolted to a short length of pipe that slides over the throttle.
The other rod hooks directly to the pto lever.
"I use it with my IH 706 tractor. Instead of having to run around all the time I can do everything from one location, " says Hoffman. "I made it in 1 1/2 hours one day, between hauling loads. It takes only a couple of minutes to attach to the tractor."
