Craftsman  Electric Assist Kit

I got this along with the sleeve hitch for my cub cadet. It fit perfectly. The hardest part on the install was trying to run the wires to where I wanted the switch.

When I first seen this a few years back I was reluctant to wanna pay the what seemed to be high price. After reading the great reviews of how easy it was to use and how it made a rough job effortless, I bought it. The Install was pretty easy. I installed it on a dual wheel 20 HP cub cadet with 300 pounds of suitcase weights for a lot of traction on the tractor itself. . I mostly use it for with the box blade (also sears). Over and over because of the great down pressure it will nearly fill the box blade with dirt and carry it to where you want it. Turns a hard job into fun again. I think it will apply 400 pounds lift and push down pressure might be slightly more. Very Impressive with wheel weights

It is easy to install and once installed its ready to work. Its sturdy and realy enhances the ground engaging hitch. But, it is very expensive and hard to get support for. I put mine on in March 2009. The switch failed this weekend and the parts are not listed. The complete kit is listed at $449.00 !!

This is a life saver, the manuel one with the single arm lift is a man killer, with this lifting the hitch is such a breeze.  Couldn't operate without it.

This Electric Lift Kit has really enhanced the seat time on my Craftsman Professional Garden Tractor. With my bad back, you might even say it's just what the doctor ordered to relieve the stresses on my back when using a manual sleeve hitch. I used to find excuses to not use my sleeve hitch implements. Now I look for reasons to use them.

It's expensive in my opinion but it's very well constructed and comes with everything you need for installation. (Fortunately, I found a gently used one for about half price.)The most difficult part of the install was figuring out how/where to route the power and control cable from the engine compartment to the sleeve hitch.

this thing is great it will lift my craftsman tiller and all the other deer plot and garden equipement that I have. I have been using it for moore than 3 years with no problems at all. I put it on my 1996 craftsman lawn tracter just by drilling and adjusting the mount position. for it is set for new models. just 10 minutes extra. all my friends love it too.

If you have accessories, Box Scraper, Rake ect. This is one product that you really need. This will save you the aches and pains from the manual lifting sleve hitch. I started with the manual lift and after 5-6 months I upgraded . I have to say that the the electric assist is Great. I would have given this product 5 stars, but its only down fall is that the hitch sleve has to be fully removed in order to use the tractor for other accessories, such as pulling a trailer or other pull attachments. If you have any ground engaging equiprment requiring a hitch sleve, spend the extra bucks for the electic assist, it is worth it.

No more twisting around in the seat and trying to lift an attachment by hand. No more shoulder pain. Worth the money.

The electric lift works great and has alot more lifting power then I had imagined.The only problem I found with this unit was there needs to be more pin holes for higher levels of raising attachments.I solved this problem by taking a piece of flat steel drilling more holes in it an attaching it to the sleeve hitch where the lift would attach.
