Top link sensor

[Nav man]

Does anyone know where I can buy a top link sensor kit for drill tramline trigger and does anyone have a picture of how this is setup. I’ve got the old sensors of the markers and was wondering if I could use these on the top link some how instead? Thanks

Do you know just what sort of sensors have you got?

A lot of bout markers use a magnetic reed switch, which is a pasdive device, which just opens and closes a circuit. They are not so easy to setup on toplinjs though, where finger switches are much more common. Like the reed switch, it's just a basic switch opening/closing.

You could unplug a reed switch on the bout markers and plug a finger switch straigh in in place of it.

Other types of proximity switches like hall effect or capacitive would be a little more complicated. The easy way to if it might be one of those though is is there are more than two wires going to the sensor.

I haven't seen either of those used on bout markers before, but I wouldn't be surprised if so manufacturers had.

Could maybe look at tapping into your tractors lift switch?
i am about to go onto a similar setup ( maschio accord ) with tramliner linked to markers, which I don`t think I`ll stick with. If Andrew Guest ever gets round to sending drill out that is
