If a guy wanted to bypass or eliminate the cussed traction booster on a 6080 how would you go about it? I thought about putting hydraulic coupler on the line going to the lift cylinder and run the 3 pt lift cylinder of one of the tractor's remotes. Don't grasp why you engineer something that requires two levers for the full range of motion.

If I'm understanding this right, just unhook the Traction Booster linkage the the 3 pt movement is all up to you

push the leaver down on the floor by the right side of the seat and it should disable it.

The external cylinder is just an assist cylinder. It also has a cylinder built inside.

Leave Traction Booster all the way back and use full range of Position control lever for hitch up and down.
