I plan to make a log splitter utilizing the front outputs on my Kubota M59 by utilizing this cylinder, and making an extension to the electronics on my joy stick to operate it.

I`m wondering if I need to add an aux. hydraulic tank for additional fluid or if my tractor has enough :confused: :confused:


Thanks!

Once you mount the cyl and operate it a few times, replenish the tank fluid to correct level.

Great point. I guess the quick connects will "trap" the fluid in the lines and cyl :thumbsup:

Capacity of that cyl is 2.04 gal.

Thanks for providing the info! Really appreciate it.


What size hydraulic hose would you suggest for that cylinder ?

And do you happen to have the part # for the quick connects handy ?
I believe I need a Parker part to connect to my M59 quick-connects, not sure which though.

Thanks again :D
