So I've been considering this for awhile. I wanna have the ability to run rear remotes for various tools as well as run a hydraulic top link. Has anyone tried to do this just yet?

My plan is to used the backhoe plumbing to plug into a 2 spool valve body when I don't have the backhoe mounted to accomplish this using QC's. I'm going to try a summit hydraulics 2 spool, 1 with detent float valve. It's probably too tight but I'll also look to run the levers through the vacant slot next to the other hydraulic lever. At the least I'll have to fabricate different handles to connect to the body.

I'm also torn on top link options as the factory manual top link has a span range of 14"-20" or so. The problem I'm having is hydraulic toplinks I can find are either 14 3/16"- 18 1/2" OR 16 1/8"-22 7/16". Anyone seen anything more like a 14/15-20/21 or so?

I can build you a 15"-20" working length unit. :thumbsup:

14"-18" or 15"-20". It is basically impossible to build a hydraulic unit and have the range that a manual link has. You have all the internals to deal with that a manual link does not have. ;)

I can play with those dimensions about 1/2" + or -. But making things shorter can cause other issues that I prefer to stay away from. ;)

So 15" as a solid minimum but doing what you can to stretch the other end as close to 21" as possible might be a thing?
