Hydraulic Coupler and hose size

beltfed · Nov 1, 2010

I just installed the rear remotes in my CT235.

Which connectors do I purchase so they will properly fit into the quick disconnect couplers? Also, which hose size do I purchase for my hydraulic side link? 3/8, 1/2? I'm researching the parts right now and once I place the order for the side link, I'll pickup the parts. I'm figuring 18" hose lenght? though 12" would probably fit nicely too. Looking at discounthydraulichose.com, anyone have any previous experience with them?

Thanks.

1/2 inch coupler.
I would go with a 1/4 or 3/8 the smaller the hose the more persis control you will have when adjusting.

I think that you will find that 3/8" hose with a 1/2" end for the QD and whatever the other end needs to be will be the least amount of $$. The fitting to go from 1/4" hose to 1/2" pipe for the QD is not their least expensive end.

Where are you getting your side link from?
