SCUT tilt hydraulic link?

[Maddiecycle]

Hi all, I have an LS MT122 looking to add top & tilt, to run off a diverter valve setup off the loader circuit.

Plenty of top links out there but not finding much in the way of a tilt (i.e. side link) for these subcompact tractors. Any ideas? Thanks!

For my tilt cylinder I had to go to a hydraulic shop and they found one to order. I couldn't find anything online.

I am guessing that Fit Rite will be the only place to get one?

And even then I do not have the dimensions for it, you would need to get the required dimensions so that I can build it to fit right.

If you would like to proceed, please fill out the contact page on the Fit Rite Hydraulics website.

What some guys do is find the right size/stroke cylinder...then using the non adjustable lift arm ends...they cut off the existing ends from the cylinder and weld on the ends from the lift arm...getting the angles right...it's really not a difficult job...
...I have made several using this method...!

Good Luck...

I'll recomend FitRite. Not the cheapest, but high quality & Mountain View Ranch stands behind his work.

It's a little more difficult when the proper cylinder to be used is an odd stroke such as a 3",5", 7", 9", or 11" stroke. Yes it can be done with the even stroke lengths readily available, but that does not always get the optimum working length desired.
It's not that big of a deal when the strokes are longer, but when you have to use a 4" stroke cylinder for an application that should really have a 5" stroke, you just lost 20% of your capabilities.
I would say that the most common side link stroke that I use is a 5" cylinder. You don't just go to any of the readily available cylinder suppliers and get an odd stroke length off the shelf.
