I just added a second contact strip, second hydraulic pump, solenoid, fuse, & external battery to my LT40. My mill started out as a LT40 manual with hydraulic log loader. Now, it is a double pumped fully hydraulic mill. Level of difficulty depends on your experience. I used all factory parts that bolted on easily. The frame modification for the two-plane clamp was done by a fabrication shop as welding is outside of my skill set.
