    power draw bar installation

    I've ordered the power draw bar from Tormach. I should get it in the next weeks. For those who got it, how was the installation? How long does it take to install it?
    Can't wait to finally just push a button to change a tool...

    Thank's

    P.D.B.

    Install is simple, took a couple hours if I rememeber right. Instuctions spell it all out very well. It's an awesome product and worth having for sure. Makes changing tools so much quicker and simpler.
    Now when is that ATC going to be out???????????????

    Installation of the beta Power Draw Bar took only a couple of hours. I was concerned that with ceiling limited height that the cover for the cables would not work. But when the cable covers hit the ceiling they just rolled flat against it and there was no problem. I didn't have to cut a hole in the roof.
    IMO The Power Draw Bar is a great product, one of the essential must have items from Tormach.

    The drawbar took just under 2 hours to install - had a couple of minor issues with air leaks. Works great, I would not like to be without it.
