The electric 3rd service allows the operator to remotely operate an additional hydraulic circuit on an attachment. This is controlled by the operator from a switch mounted on the joystick.
Hydro ride provides a smoother, cushioned ride by reducing the energy transfer back and forth between the front-end loader and the tractor. The kit installs cleanly and does not restrict the operator’s vision.

[Note 1] Vertical distance from ground line to lowest point of cutting edge when bucket is dumped 45° and loader is fully raised.
[Note 2] Horizontal distance from tip of bucket cutting edge to centre line of tractor front wheels with loader fully-raised and bucket dumped at 45°.
[Note 3] Horizontal distance from tip of bucket cutting edge to centre line of tractor front wheels with bucket level on ground.
[Note 4] Digging depth can vary depending on fitted tractor tyre equipment.
[Disclaimer] Loader specifications may vary with tractor models, tyre sizes and/or hydraulic systems, and assume a hydraulic system capacity of 15.0 Mpa. To correctly ballast the tractor when used with a front-end loader, a three-point linkage counterweight must be fitted. Also refer to the tractor operators manual for weighting and ballasting information.
In 1962 a major product release gained immediate market acceptance and established the brand name 'Challenge' as implements of good design, robust in construction and offering value for money. Challenge always aims to provide quality implements that can withstand our harsh Australian conditions.
