New Holland Mid Mount Joystick

[Thomas5060]

Just wondering if it would be possible to wire the electric mid mount joystick to control my JF harvester? Think it would be neater and nicer to use than having a control box in the cab. The forward and reverse for the harvester has been made hydraulic so the only electric controls I need are for the shute. Would be in a T6.145

Doubtful as the joystick will be +5v and canbus where as the jf will be 12v.

Even if I didn’t wire the joystick into the tractor? If it just took power from the 3 pin socket the way the current controls do?

If it's in the same place as a T7 mid mount joystick I'd say it would be too far forward to be comfortable. Stick with the JF controls and make a bracket for them that bolts to the cab pillar. You could even use new steel, paint and a bit of rubber to stop the steel marking the plastic on the pillar.

Good thinking. Forgot it would be quite far forward. I will have to have a better look once I get her home.

Could stick some rams on the JF and plug it in spools? The rotate will be a hydraulic motor anyway if it’s a newish JF?
