I have a subcompact tractor Cub/Yanmar Sc2450 and I am going to add rear remotes to the tractor.
I want to add a hydraulic top link and a hydraulic angle cylinder to my back blade.
Looking for advice on the size of the cylinders as in bore and rod size.
The top link is used for my ballast box, flail mower and back blade. The flail mower weighs 515 pounds and is the heaviest. I sometimes push snow and ice into piles of already frozen snow reverse with the back blade.
As for the top link I am looking at a cylinder that fits the same size in retracted and extended lengths as my current top link, 13.25” retracted and 19.25” extended so it's a 6” stroke.
and has a 1.5" bore and 1" rod diameter, is the rod diameter ok for a top link?
Or should it have a larger rod diameter?
As for the angle cylinder I am looking at 2 cylinders, the first one has a 2” bore, 10” stroke and 1.25” rod.
The second has 2.5” bore, 10” stroke and 1.5” rod.
I am not concerned about cycle time as they are both short strokes, I just want to get the strongest cylinder without overkill.
