Anyone made one up, like the valtra has, and probably other's, so there's a permanent socket, got the trailer air brake adapter but would like a neater set up.

Run a line off the air tank if you’ve a blank port that’s what I’ve done on a mf

Simple, thanks, there's one on the top, and that's given you no problems I take it, do the tanks remain under pressure even with tractor off, obviously would want to let pressure out before undoing that blanking bung

Just pull the drain plug then undo the blank they do remain under pressure when it’s off although mine do drain down over night I’ve a slight leak on my blow gun my advice is fit a female connection on the tank I’ve seen it done with a male and if your pipe gives out you loose all the air

I’ve been meaning to put a tap on it too I did have an air reel on it but think the constant pressure broke it

My intention is to have a tap, got the reel already, just space is a premium!!

That set up was on my 7718 now got a 7720 so slightly different I made a simple bracket and Mounted it on the top step

Tanks are in the rear wheel area on this, on axle, would need to copy what they have already done and pipe out away from tank, couldn't put tap right there as be at risk I'd guess, just need a 90 straight off tank then follow their pipe work up to behind cab

Best way is the plug it in to the red line

Just use a m22 T behind the red air fitting at the rear of the tractor

This had been my first thought, but wasn’t sure if possible or if any safety concerns, as in when the brakes are plugged in, so thought I’d ask on here..

Red line is permanent tank pressure

Just consider that every extra fitting or pipes added on are potential extra leaks which are not what you really want to be adding to you're braking system. There is a safety valve you can add in if you t into the red line which will only let air through above a set pressure so if you're airline burst you won't run out of air completely @Colliedog uses them in his cab suspension kits.

I priced a Jd late autumn and a air line plug by the steps was an option, I thought it a good idea. I bought a 724 and have just stuck with a plug in adapter for now. Reading this thread I might just fit a separate plug.

It's on our valtra and standard as I don't remember ticking any boxes for it, I actually, wrongly!, assumed the fendt had one, my bad for not checking while on demo.

i have one of these. goes with me on any machine.
Good idea, I have the connector that plugs into the red line. Hadn’t thought of putting a T in that.

I’ve done that an a few mf never had issues just make sure you have a female fitting on it
